Frank Skinner has announced a nationwide tour for the autumn with his new stand up show, Showbiz.
Since his last tour, the Absolute Radio and Room 101 presenter's only live comedy appearances have been with The Man With No Show, which saw him perform an hour of completely improvised stand-up. Four years on and he's going back on the road performing at 44 venues across the UK and Ireland.
The tour includes a date at Nottingham's Theatre Royal on Friday, October 11.
Tickets are £25 (plus booking fee) and go on sale at 10am tomorrow (March 22).
They can be booked through the venue (trch.co.uk, 0115 989 5555) and Ticketmaster.
He announced the Showbiz tour during a non-stop 10-hour radio show, which marked his 10th anniversary on Absolute Radio. His Saturday morning show attracts a million listeners each week.
Skinner's stand-up career started in 1987 when he spent £400 of his last £435 booking a room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Four years later he beat Jack Dee and Eddie Izzard to take home The Perrier Award.
Since then he has achieved fame for his stand-up and TV work as well as the co-writer of Three Lions, the unofficial soundtrack to Euro 96 which topped the UK singles chart on FOUR separate occasions.
