FRANK SKINNER LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM AT THE HIPPODROME

Frank Skinner Live in Birmingham, filmed at the hippodrome

[@CallumFitzpatrick-ld5mg]

This is his best ever performance by far. He was completely in his element and disciplined in his life that he just oozed confidence and togetherness. Absolute genius.

[@CMDR_Verm]

Superb performance. I watch this now and then to make me laugh and it never fails or gets old. Mr. Skinner is a master of stand-up. All his performances that I've watched via KZbin are incredibly funny and entertaining, 10/10

[@tarantulagirl]

I was at this gig! It were Brilliant. I was 18.

[@davidkavanagh9551]

I was at the gig just 👏

[@nicolahopewell4222]

Skinner is funny as fuck! Saw this tour live! 90's music, culture, train spotting and Euro 96. Best decade ever! Spent it partying!

[@Nailtheday]

Frank is a master of comedy, been lucky enough to see him a lot of times, if you can catch him, do. He’s an absolute legend

[@billgreen576]

Or on You Tube.

[@johnamos]

one of the best I've seen, so relaxed with his audience interaction

[@petermcnallt12pm]

doesn't seem to do many gigs now or if he does, not massively advertised- sadly I've only seen him live once in Belfast quite some time ago!

[@siep3417]

@Nailtheday - you’re so right, he’s a master of his craft. He’s the comedian that first got me into comedy when I was a kid in the 90s when I watched Fantasy Football religiously every single week, then his chat show, his stand up specials, even his sitcom Blue Heaven. Being a young boy growing up in Willenhall in the 1980s and 90s (Willenhall is just a few miles from where Frank grew up in Oldbury) I didn’t see any people on TV who sounded like me and shared my cultural background, so to see Frank Skinner on TV was a revelation. It’s no exaggeration to say that Frank Skinner changed my life because my sense of humour was shaped by his comedy and knowing someone from my area could make it gave me so much self-belief, I felt I could take on the world. You’re right about going to see him live, I saw him last before Covid in Wolverhampton Civic Hall and he was incredible! His crowd work is the best in the business, it’s like watching a conductor of a orchestra, he’s able to keep so many lines of work going all at once. Not sure if he’s going to tour any time soon but if he does I’ll be there because our Frank is my hero. All the best mate, when was the last time you saw him live?

[@Nailtheday]

@@siep3417 I saw him just before covid in London. Feb 2020. Absolutely amazing!

[@sidewayspagan9221]

This is my first time watching Frank. I've been missing out, he's hilarious.

[@stuartscott6041]

He’s one off the forgotten comics off the 90,s he’s an absolute genius👏👏

Who did u like b4 Frank?

It's a shame you're not hilarious too. Poor comment. Sorry but thought you'd want to know. I score it 4/10.

[@terryconnolly6124]

34:36 - I still think this joke is one of the best he’s ever done. Amazingly funny, yet an horrific image, all rolled into one! Spat my drink out at the punchline 😂

[@stephaniewaters1777]

TaskMaster is how I know of Skinner. Very glad to discover his work

[@lensgypsy]

1998 and still fresh after all these years. Timeless....And I first knew him from Fry's QI. Brilliant.

[@tylerbrown4171]

So great to see comments from people who were at this gig.... I hope the guy who heckled him to get back to Bournemouth stops by.... I'd love to read the replies to him!

[@megancooper8676]

I remember watching this as a kid and laughing my head off, obviously not really knowing the context of it. Watching it again in my mid 20's and it's still hilarious.

[@DavidB-rx3km]

I will always find the ‘vice like grip’ 40:24 and the 😬face hilarious, one of the funniest bits in stand up I’ve ever seen, I keep coming back to it and I laugh hard watching it, the whole show is absolutely brilliant.

"I hadn't heard her come in" 😂😂😂👌

I didn't realise he was this good!!! Absolutely pissing myself!!!

[@G100666]

Me neither. I don't think he should have done Some Mother's Do 'ave Em ( or whatever it was called,). A proper comedian. So glad the KZbin algorithm realised that I need to see this.

[@sarahmillard6401]

I’ve seen Frank live a few times. He’s still the best live stand up I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few!

[@PerfectMask1]

That story about the Italian woman had me crying.😂😂
