Following his sold out London run, FRANK SKINNER will take to the road in April for the first time since his sell-out nationwide tour in 2007 with 35 performances only of his new show Man In a Suit. He will play Cardiff's St David's hall for two nights on April 11 and 12.
Frank’s live career began in 1987 when he spent £400 of his last £435 booking a room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Four years later in 1991 he returned to the city and beat fellow nominees Jack Dee and Eddie izzard to take home comedy’s most prestigious prize, The Perrier Award. He last toured the UK in 2007 with the twice-extended, totally sold-out Frank Skinner Live which included three homecoming gigs at Birmingham’s NIA.
As a television and radio performer, Frank has hosted three series of Frank Skinner’s Opinionated for BBC Two, wrote and starred in two series of the critically-acclaimed comedy drama series Don’t Start for BBC Radio 4 and created The Frank Skinner Show (ITV), which is widely credited as setting the tone for the modern comedic chat show and ran for nine years, attracting 11 million viewers at its peak.
With David Baddiel, he created and presented Fantasy Football and Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned (ITV). Alongside The Lightning Seeds the pair attained three number one hits with the football anthem Three Lions.
He is the current host of BBC One’s Room 101 (which returns for a new series at 8.30pm on January 24th) and the Sony Award winning Absolute Radio show with over 600,000 listeners every Saturday morning and more than 13 million downloads as a podcast, with 2.8 million in 2013 alone, making it both Absolute and commercial radio’s most successful podcast.
