WHAT THE CRITICS SAID ABOUT ‘30 YEARS OF DIRT’
“A comedian so funny that it’s almost obscene. 30 Years of Dirt is a sparkling tour de force from a craftsman with exquisite control of his art.” ★★★★★ Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 6th February 2024
“He’s still got it… a comedy master… a masterclass in crowd work, with Skinner getting spontaneous laughs off every interaction…exquisite one-liners” – Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Skinner is never less than beadily alert…you come away happy that after 30 years Frank’s still dishing his dirt, and happier still that he can dish plenty more besides.” – Brian Logan, The Guardian
“Immaculately constructed…Skinner’s crowd work is as sharp as ever…he can spool out a yarn every bit as entertainingly as prime-era Billy Connolly.” – Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard”
