As a recognised face on every episode of BBC2's Mock the Week, in addition to his appearances on 8 out of 10 Cats, They Think It's All Over, The Live Floor Show, FAQ U, The Graham Norton Show and Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle is an established name in the world of comedy. Frankie leapt onto the circuit in style when he won the Daily Telegraph’s Open Mic competition in 1996, before becoming a regular and popular compere at high-profile clubs across the UK.

While Frankie’s stand-up career reached new heights, his television work took off. After regular appearances on BBC Scotland’s Live Floor Show (for which Frankie was also a writer), Frankie has appeared as a guest on 8 out of 10 Cats, They Think It’s All Over, FAQ U and Mock The Week, for which he is best-known.

In October 2007 Boyle embarked on a long stand-up tour of the UK, playing over 100 dates and enjoying a sold-out run that was extended through until December 2008. Boylehas performed his final tour, entitled I Would Happily Punch Every One Of You In The Face between March and December this year.

Frankie Boyle has suddenly gone from being one of many Scottish stand-ups to TV's must-have funnyman - Daily Record

Thoughtful and inspirational. Highly original, hilariously funny material, based on topical issues and cynical observations. Pure stand-up, pure brilliant. Staggering. Laid back, laconic sharp as the jaggiest jaggy bit of a thistle - Sunday Mail

Frankie Boyle has the attention-holding flair of a natural story-teller - The Herald
This is meat and-potatoes stand-up, but the sauce is tart, the meat's bleeding and the spuds are hard as rock - The Guardian

You can forgive Frankie Boyle's confidence and his apparent belief that he is really that good. That is simply, because he is. - Edinburgh Evening News
