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, Law of the Playground and FAQ U, Frankie Boyle is an established name in the world of comedy.
Frankie started off in comedy as a regular and popular compere at high-profile clubs across the UK. His first performances at the Edinburgh Fringe included headlining The Comedy Zone at the Pleasance and a starring role in 2003 alongside The Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe III (Jim Muir) in a show that won praise from both audiences and critics alike.
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. He was also a recent contributor to Channel 4’s Law of the Playground and appearing on shows like Pants On Fire (BBC1) and Best of Worst (C4)
Through the facets of Frankie’s career, his live performances stand strong. Last year he enjoyed a hugely successful run at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his solo show ’The Voice of Black America’ and he returned in 2007 with an all new-show, ’Morons, I Can Heal You’. He’s currently doing a fucking enormous tour.

About me:
I am a semi-professional acrobat and minor priest of Uombumbay The Undying Egg. To fund my vocation I practise stand-up comedy. What I love about my religion is that it offers no hope at all. When Uombumbay finally emerges from his egg, we believe that he will die whilst laying another egg. I have a beautiful daughter and a lot of fun. I read a lot of comic books and have recently, aged 34, made a half hearted attempt to learn to do tricks on my bike. Vive la Revolucion!

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd love to go on a series of adventures through Modern European History. Perhaps travelling through some kind of Time Door, with a teenage sidekick, or a cavewoman. I would travel along the Timepaths averting wars and catastrophe, then eventually return to my own time. Where my meddling would mean that Britain was ruled by worms.
