Frank Skinner is undoubtedly one of the funniest and 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.

In this new volume of memoirs, Frank Skinner describes his experience of going back on the road and doing stand up again, after many years spent working exclusively on television.

For the last two years, Frank Skinner has managed to squeeze in a weekly column for The Times. Without fail, he sat down every week and wracked his brain to think of something to write 900 words about. This is the brilliant result.

Sean's stand-up is a blend of a finely tuned hyperactive imagination, surreal imagery and insightful observations on the human condition...and Keep It Light is about Sean keeping the tone light and funny, as he talks about the price of cinema food, accusations of him having a midlife crisis, his behaviour on the Internet and jewellery heists.

Challenging, high risk, and totally unique, this show really is two blokes, one sofa, and no script.

Anything could happen and usually it does.

I have spent my entire adult life getting things the way I want them and all I want now is someone to give it all up for.’ Jon Richardson. Is your filing faultless? Your CDs, apostrophes, cutlery all in the right places?
