Over the course of the last ten years, Frank Skinner has toured sell-out st&-up shows, hosted countless TV shows & an award-winning radio programme, written two well-received volumes of memoir, as well as recording a couple of pop songs & 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 & wracked his brain to think of something to write 900 words about. Dispatches From the Sofa is the brilliant result.
