Frankie Boyle is a Scottish comedian and writer known for his trademark near-the-knuckle, overwhelmingly bleak, cynical and misanthropic sense of humour. He rose to national fame after appearing as a regular panellist on Mock The Week from 2005 to 2009 and his comedy has ignited a number of tabloid controversies.
