Frank Skinner reveals his 'fantasy comedy line-up'

Part 3 of London is Funny's interview with Frank Skinner, ahead of his Man In A Suit tour (see www,frankskinnerlive.com for full tour listings).
Frank curates his own fantasy line-up, which includes Harry Hill and an unnamed vaudeville act who performed a spectacular, silent stunt ...

[@ben_imaging]

Frank Skinner, Billy Connolly, Stewart Lee and Frankie Boyle - not necessarily in that order.

[@philjones45]

yes, mine too I think

[@philjones45]

But I'd like Bill Hicks on there too.

[@david-pb4bi]

Frankie Boyle? Liz Truss is funnier than him, suppose there's no accounting for taste.

[@philjones45]

@@david-pb4bi Liz Truss isn’t funnier, not even in the context of a poor joke.

[@ben_imaging]

@@david-pb4bi 3/4 isn't bad though, right?

[@gaz2276]

Dave Allen, Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Stewart Lee.

[@craig7248]

Outstanding lineup

[@Ninjatoka]

I wouldn’t be buying tickets to that night

[@astroboirap]

it sounds like a fucking shit night tbh LOL joan rivers and lenny bruce!? WTF

[@TheDwarfShortage]

Sean Lock, Mitch Hedberg, Ross Noble & Jerry Sadowitz

[@luckyswine]

Tony Clifton compere. Mitch Hedberg, 1930s Grock, early 70s Robin Wlliams, and Lennie Bruce in 1963. Closing has Kaufman as bus conductor Elvis leading the audience to Krispy Kreme donuts in a yellow bus driven by Bill Murray. That's variety.

[@astroboirap]

legend!

[@howdj]

Eddie Murphy, Mitch Hedberg, Stewart Lee, Richard Pryor. Warm-up acts are Norm MacDonald and Patrice O'Neal.

[@fraac]

norm is nobody's warmup

[@HladgerdKissinger]

Norm is on par with Stewart Lee and Nick Mullen as true masters of their craft

[@astroboirap]

@@HladgerdKissinger nick mullen is a racist hasbeen twat tho

[@HladgerdKissinger]

@@astroboirap Well I think an argument could be made that it's satire. I don't want to contest your claim because I don't know him that well as a person, but I think he embodies the most primal, true and basic elements of comedy which are subversion and ideation (i.e. the 'rodeo' bit from cumtown'). I think Stewart Lee is his antithesis, in a way, because his bits often feature multiple layers of subtext and context (i.e. the 'unspeakable' bit from snowflake) whereas Nick Mullen bases a lot of his comedy on what one may consider base or crass. What do you think?

[@Monkeypole]

Stewart Lee, Bill Burr, Russell Brand, Bill Bailey

[@tucosalamanca5194]

Bill burr. Bill hicks. George carlin. Peter kay. Bernard manning. No particular order.

[@davidoconnor8769]

Roy Chubby Brown, Bernard Manning, Norm Mac Donald, Louis CK, Doug Stanhope, Stewart Lee, Simon Munnery, Andy Kauffman and Peter Cook.

[@timsplanet2]

Stew and Chubby Brown on the same stage?!!

[@MontyCantsin5]

@@timsplanet2: I know, right? Roy Chubby Brown is downright embarrassing.

[@grrr.9998]

Charlie Chuck - Jim Jefferies - ? - ? . I'll fill in the blanks later.

[@MontyCantsin5]

Sadowitz, Stewart Lee, Frankie Boyle, and Henning Wehn.

I would have Billy Connolly, Daniel Kitson, Frank Skinner then Louis CK.

[@slimjim4239]

jerry sadowitz - the audience would then leave and you wouldnt need any other comedians

[@jackkirkwood2316]

[@lloydwaycott8178]

Why does he feel he has to include a woman? FFS.

[@pastorpresent7774]

I'd imagine because he's not an incel?

[@jackkirkwood2316]

I am stunned to believe that frank thinks Harry hill’s standup is his best work. Tv burp is his best work

[@Forestgravy90]

Jack Kirkwood I personally think Harry Hill is shit

[@badsport2008]

I saw Harry Hill stand up when he was coming through and it was a masterpiece. The way he structured the joke and punchline so you got all the set ups in the main set then the last few minutes was punchline after punchline would leave me crying. His TV work is no representation of his talent

[@astroboirap]

he's trolling

[@planetyes]

This is arguably quite right.

[@CCPlaetean]

Harry Hill in a fantasy line up... dear christ on a bike

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

I wasn't a fan until I saw him live.

[@MrDJM81]

He’s excellent live!

Very disappointed in Frank’s line up. 1. Norm MacDonald 2. George Carlin 3. Dave Chappelle 4. Bill Burr

[@andym28]

Tim Dillon Frankie Boyle Doug Stanhope Stewart Lee Patrice O'neill

[@andrewstafford3618]

I am surprised that he thinks Harry Hill is funny

[@ThefightingCelt]

I'd have Frank Skinner as the warm-up Bernard Manning , Richard Pryor and Billy Connolly .

[@sratus]

Manning? Really?

[@jackkirkwood2316]

Bernard is good, just controversial in our time, but Richard Pryor?? No way

[@pollyrb8375]

Joan Rivers, Aisling Bea, Katherine Ryan, Jo Brand, Sindhu Vee.

[@nkenchington6575]

lol, most of them are women!

[@timsplanet2]

Nah. Women aren’t funny

[@davide2975]

Katherine Ryan. About as funny as woodworm in a cripples crutch.

That comedy club better have a fully stocked bar with plenty of bar staff...
