Frankie leapt onto the circuit in style when he won the Daily Telegraph's Open Mic competition in 1996, before becoming a regular and popular compere at high-profile clubs across the UK. His first performances at the Edinburgh Fringe included headlining The Comedy Zone at the Pleasance and a starring role in 2003 alongside The Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe III (Jim Muir) in a show that won praise from both audiences and critics alike.
While Frankie's stand-up career reached new heights, his television work took off. After regular appearances on BBC Scotland's Live Floor Show (for which Frankie was also a writer), Frankie has appeared as a guest on 8 out of 10 Cats, They Think It's All Over, FAQ U and Mock The Week, for which he is best-known.

He has written for several series including 8 out of 10 Cats, the UK version of Live Floor Show; 2DTV and 29 Minutes of Fame. He is currently writing and developing two new shows for Channel 4.

Frankie is as funny now as he's ever been. Just because some of you, at some stage, realised that Frankie has different political views than you and now you view him differently, does not change anything. He's still hilarious. Get over it.

@Darwinion Big fact.

Isn't it strange that the exact same theory isn't, cannot or will not, be applied to say... Jim Davison.

So you take your kids to see Frankie Boyle and you sit on the front row? That will always end in tears...
Ingens_Scherz
Nope. They loved every minute of it. And I bet it was quite therapeutic in a severe blunt trauma kind of way.
SANDSCORCHER
That look of evil self satisfaction he had plastered across his face told it all didn’t it.
He couldn’t even get to the end of the sentence before the filth started pouring out of him😆🤦🏻♂️

Well its a education isn't it.
Iain Ponton
Anyone who sits at the front of a Frankie boyle show deserves whatever they get

They all took it in good spirit. Young lads will have heard way worse than this from their mates.
By all accounts, Frankie is one of the kindest, most generous comedians out there. Somehow this makes his brutal stage persona even more impressive.

I've just witnessed one man destroy a family.
