As a recognised face on BBC2’s Mock the Week, which Frankie has now left to pursue other projects, Frankie Boyle is an established name in the world of comedy with a devoted following.

Frankie’s first DVD, Frankie Boyle Live is officially the second fastest ever selling debut stand up release, selling just under 16,000 copies on its first day alone.  The DVD was filmed on the final night of Frankie’s first national tour, Frankie Boyle Live, which was extended due to phenomenal demand with all 150 tour dates selling out.

In March 2010 Frankie hit the road again for a second national tour, entitled I Would Happily Punch Every One of You in the Face, which has already been extended due to overwhelming public demand – 52,000 tickets were sold on the first day the tour went on sale and the tour is now completely sold out.  The tour will again culminate in a DVD record, with Frankie recording his second live DVD at the Hammersmith Apollo in June this year.  Set for release in November this year, the DVD will be called If I Could Reach Out Through Your TV and Strangle You, I Would.

Frankie’s autobiography, My Shit Life So Far, was released in October 2009 and shot into the Times Bestseller List.  He is developing his own television series for C4 and other recent appearances include You Have Been Watching, Would I Lie to You? and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.  He also writes a weekly column for The Sun newspaper, offering an acerbic take on all the latest news and events.
