Frankie Boyle

Frankie Boyle is probably the most successful Scottish comedian since Billy Connolly, with a style that is totally unique amongst top flight performers which can only be described as pessimistic, or dark.  He first shot into the limelight when he landed a permanent position on the popular BBC Panel show “Mock the Week” on which he appeared a total of 54 times over 7 years, however he was forced to leave the show following complaints about some of his material at the same time as the BBC was under fire for the Sachs-gate affair in which Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross were involved.  Frankie Boyle has gone on however to appear in other panel shows, including some for the BBC itself indicating that they still support his work.  To date Frankie has made guest appeances on shows such as 8 out of 10 cats, Argumental, They Think its All Over, Would I Lie to You, Have I got News for You, Live at the Apollo and many others.  Aside from his television appearances, Frankie also released an autobiographical book in October 2009 which turned into the surprise Christmas 2009 best seller, entitled “My Shit Life so Far”, musing on his time spent growing up in Glasgow – which often forms parts of his routines live on stage.   Frankie’s cult levels of fame were cemented last year when his standup was recorded for the massively popular game franchise “Grand Theft Auto” where he is performing his routine at a club in the episode “The Lost and the Damned”.  He is also known for his close resemblance to the Proclaimers, and in his own words “the bear off of Bo’Selecta!” – a fairly accurate analogy.
