Funny, awkward, very open - can Frank go back to doing standup after the easy life of TV ?
Do you know what I really liked about Frank Skinner: On the Road ? His reflections on his Catholic faith. The dirty jokes you'd expect from Skinner are there. The insight into the comic performers world promised by the book's summary is there. But there is every so often a few pages of him thinking and contemplating the religious realm. In most books by comedians you find yourself waiting for more jokes and classic bits. But here, I found myself really enjoying the quite moments in between. I guess, if anything, I would have been interested in seeing Skinner balance these two sides of his personality: the dirty comic and the tortured catholic. Maybe next time.
Nice insight into Frank's comedy diary, witty throughout and entertaining.
The best book about being a stand-up comedian workshopping a new show, trying jokes out and learning where one's passions lie. A great sequel to the memoir.
This is an introspective book that analyses stand-up to within an inch of its life in a very charming and intelligent way.
I'm not sure that the Fantasy Football crowd will enjoy the philosophical speculations as much as I did, but never fear, there are plenty of cock jokes.
I found myself making a list of books to pick up, or ideas to Google cos Frank supplies a glut of interesting stories as he meanders through his thoughts.
I preferred this to his other autobiography.
