Frank Skinner – Man in a Suit

Once again Frank Skinner proves himself to be a master of stand-up. He’s older, he’s greyer, he may even be wiser, but he can still take a barn-sized room and fill it with fits of giggles and outright laughter. Though Frank may have disappointed one or two by replacing wall-to-wall filth with topics such as haikus, picnics and his TV suits, a couple of glorious sexual anecdotes reminded us of what we’d been missing these last seven years – an intricate comic examination of human nature. One of the greats, it was a joy from start to finish.
