Product Description

Review
.,."a minor masterpiece."
-"Guardian"

"From the Trade Paperback edition."

Product Description
"Frank Skinner" by Frank Skinner, his first book, was one of the bestselling show business autobiographies of all time - and perhaps the best reviewed. It was variously hailed in the national press as 'hilarious - often shocking', 'painfully and incisively truthful', and 'a classic of its kind'. In this new volume of memoirs, Frank Skinner describes his experience of going back on the road doing stand-up again, after many years spent working mainly on television. His adventures on tour are by turns funny and moving as he meditates on growing older, the terrors and joys of trying to make a live audience laugh night after night and on the nature of comedy itself.For the first time we read a comedian's account, in his own words, of how his act is put together; his return to a world of dark little clubs and the strange encounters he has there. But what is perhaps most startling and original about Frank Skinner's writing is his honesty anbout not only the highs and lows of his career, but more intimate and personal issues - male sexuality and matters of the heart. He recalls his former laddish behaviour and also tells a love story about a woan who has drifted in and out of his life for years but suddenly returns just as he is about to go on tour. Frank Skinner asks himself: is it finally time to grow up?

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving the second book Frank!, 11 Nov 2008
I read Frank's autobiography last year and loved it so was excited to find out he had a second one coming out. Really interesting read, following him on tour, and finding out about how he makes people (including me!)laugh. I've got the new DVD too which he talks about in this book! Both ace!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funnier with age, 5 Dec 2008
By Rob1969 (England) - See all my reviews
Frank`s autobiography was my favourite book, I have read it 3 times.

This book is fantastic and is as good as if not better than his first, The way Frank talks to the reader is a talent, very rarely found in these kind of books. The way he describes his new watch that monitors his heart and the way he used it, made me crack up.

Frank in my opinion is a hugely talented bloke and a legend in comedy circles,he gets a bit of bad press from the new comedy fans of acts like Russell Howard whose comedy style is to not be funny and just talk bollocks.
Frank is a bit old school and thats no bad thing, I am surprised that a comic of Frank`s standing and wealth still gets hurt and annoyed if he feels the odd person does not like him, but to me that makes him even more of a legend.
Buy this book its fantastic.

2.0 out of 5 stars boring, 6 April 2009
By Mr. I. P. Gaynor - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i am a huge fan of frank, seen him live a few times and loved his DVDs and shows. 1st book was fascinating but this one is so dull, he is so miserable i couldnt wait to finish. shame as i really did rave about him. still cracking at stand up but this book is not worth the spend

3.0 out of 5 stars Readable but not spectacular
The second 'autobiography' is a tough ask. Having crammed 40 years into book one, the writer is left trying to fill 400 pages of book two off the back of just a few years when... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Frank Skinner Book
Bought book as a present after reading his first book some years ago. This book is just as funny and Frank has a talent to make the reader laugh at his antics.
