Frank Skinner Show, The

I have quite often watched Frank Skinner, and have been amused, sometimes a little shocked, and definitely thoroughly entertained!!! And last nights programme, with the Appleton sisters was no exception! Although not one of his most outrageous programs yet, it was a nice change to see guests answering questions up front, and not squirming in their seats (at least not too much!). As everyone knows, the Appleton sisters have been heavily written about recently, after the release of their book Together, with the biggest revelation being that Nicole Appleton felt ?forced? to have an abortion by record bosses, and that Robbie Williams was the ...  Read the complete review

Frank Skinner, voted best personality at last years comedy award, is in my opinion, the funniest man in britain. His show however is the funniest show IN THE WORLD! (maybe joint with Graham Norton) If you have no idea who/what Frank Skinner is, then i will try the best i can to explain it. First of all the title music comes on and Frank sings a song called 'Fun Time Franky' with the background music played by a bunch of 60-80 year olds collectively called, for the purpose of the show, 'The Skinnerettes'. Frank then does 5 minutes of stand up to do with that current weeks happenings. Say, like recently, Prince Harry had taken drugs ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who have never heard of Frank Skinner – where have you been? Frank Skinner is a comic genius. He often works with David Baddiel and they have a show of idle banter often relating to football which is hysterically funny.

He has a bad who he calls his ‘Skinnerettes’ who are made up of elderly gentlemen. They play music when the guests come on ...  Read the complete review

This man is an institution. Never has there been such an unassumingly funny man. If you need a half an hour to detach yourself from the real world, then this is the show to do it on. The show itself is not recorded weeks ahead, it has a live audience, and they definetly are alive. The guests are somewhat controversial at times but always captivate your attention and provide good entertainment. Baddell and Skinner always used to be one of my favourite programs, as it was obviously completely unrehearsed and unscripted. Frank Skinners show seems to be done on the same vein. Saturday nights guests were Bill Wyman (ageing and ...  Read the complete review

This half hour light comedy chat show which was first shown on ITV is now being re-run on The Paramount Comedy Channel at 22.30hrs. It was first aired in the mid-1990’s and new series are still being made. The show can be seen weeknights, Monday to Thursday. Format of the Show: Introduction: This takes the format of stand up comedy using original material, which is often related to the media, coverage of the day. This dates the show, but never the less it is still funny. Jokes and stories are told to ‘warm the audience up’. Frank Sinner tries to get the audience to empathise with him, relaxing them whilst slowly introducing his guests. ...  Read the complete review
