Thrilling audiences with stories from his life and 30 plus years in stand-up, Frank debuted the show with a sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe before taking the show on tour last autumn.

His Edinburgh run received rave reviews with Stephen Armstrong from The Sunday Times exclaiming: “Skinner is a master of everything from storytelling to quick one-linersShockingly good stand-up.

Edinburgh Fringe holds a special place in the comedian’s heart. Frank first began his career at the festival in 1987, spending £400 of his last £435 booking a room to perform in.

Undeterred, Skinner made a triumphant return to the festival four years later where he beat fellow nominees Jack Dee and Eddie Izzard to take home the hugely prestigious The Perrier Award.

Since then, he has completed numerous stand-up tours selling out venues all across the UK. His last stand-up show, 2014’s Man In A Suit, sold out a five week residency at London’s Leicester Square Theatre and was later released on DVD.

The comedian is also a hugely popular broadcaster and currently presents The Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio, attracting over one million listeners per week. Frank first announced details of his Showbiz tour during a non-stop ten-hour broadcast of the show to celebrate his ten-year anniversary at the station.

Following the success of his residency London’s Garrick Theatre, the comedian has now confirmed he’ll be taking Showbiz back out on tour in 2021.
