Product Description

Book Description

A riotously funny and wickedly sharp collection of Frank Skinner's columns written for The Times, along with never before seen material.

Product Description

Over the course of the last ten years, Frank Skinner has toured sell-out stand-up shows, hosted countless TV shows and an award-winning radio programme, written two well-received volumes of memoir, as well as recording a couple of pop songs and learning to play the ukulele. He has been a busy man.

Yet, for the last two years, he has also managed to squeeze in a weekly column for The Times. Without fail, he sat down every week and wracked his brain to think of something to write 900 words about. Dispatches From the Sofa is the brilliant result.

Alighting on such random topics as the potential demise of Margaret Thatcher, the love-hate relationship with your football club, Mike Read's musical of Oscar Wilde, fat pop stars, Serbian breakfast banter, the pleasures of air-guitar, the banking crisis and the evil phenomenon of Jedward, this is a thought-provoking, wide-reaching, hilarious and self-deprecating collection - which also includes the first two chapters from his unpublished novel - from one of our funniest, quickest and most beloved comedians.

I am a Frank Skinner fan. He's probably the funniest bloke I've seen on stage. I liked his autobiog which was hilarious. This is well written (he clearly has a gift) but I would expect many people to aim for a Frank Skinner book for the laughs, and they are seldom and few.

I enjoyed what I've read of Frank's other two books and this one was much the same - very well-written, perfectly laid out on the Kindle, with some 'laugh out loud' moments. I've read a lot of samples of other comics' and celebrities' books, and Frank's works are a cut above.

Wit and wisdom, and a fine sense of the absurd, all rolled into one. Frank's a comic A.C. Grayling.

Terrific - on so many levels. (Jeremy Clarkson eat your heart out.)

Mr Skinner for Prime Minister!
