Frank Skinner is undoubtedly one of the funniest & most successful comedians appearing on British screens. Born Chris Collins in 1957 he grew up in the West Midlands where he inherited his father's passion for football, a West Bromich Albion supporter, along with a liking for alcohol. Expelled from school at 16 Frank held various jobs later going on to gain an MA in English Literature.

Nurturing a serious drink problem from the age of fourteen, Frank eventually turned to Catholicism in 1987 & hasn't had a drink since. He performed his first stand up gig in December 1987. His first television appearance in 1988 met with fits of laughter from the audience & 131 complaints, including one from cabinet minister Edwina Currie.

He met fellow comedian David Baddiel in 1990 & the two went on to share a flat throughout the early 90's & to create the hit TV series Fantasy Football League. Winner of the prestigious Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival, Skinner's is a unique mixture of laddish & philosophical humour which has won him the prime time ITV show
- The Frank Skinner Show. Here, for the first time, Frank candidly tells us of the highs & lows of his fascinating life & career.
