Frank Skinner is amused to find himself playing a music festival at 62, likening his longevity to 'seeing a wasp in November'.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd July 2019Preview: Been there, done that, back & doing it again
There's a school of thought that the Edinburgh Fringe is a Young Person's Game. But actually in recent years it has become an older person's game too. Maybe they are the baby boomer generation who can afford to lose a few grand every August or maybe they just love the thrill of the Fringe and the art of stand-up. Whatever the reasons here are some comedians who know the game inside out and are the collective epitome of a safe pair of comedy hands. And no, they are not listed in descending order of chronology. We'll not be having any age before beauty here. Some of them might not be doing a full Fringe run, but at their age I think we can allow them a few days off. Click on their names for their dates and ticket details.

Preamble to tour works a treat.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 17th June 2019Live review: Frank Skinner, Leicester Square Theatre
Frank Skinner's first proper new show in four years does not have any whizz bang gimmicks. It does not have any themes or high concept. What it does have is a plethora of spot-on punchlines. Some of them scripted, some of them improvised. All of them conclusive evidence that the Black Country comic is still one of the best joke-crafters in the business.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th June 2019Frank Skinner review
The former king of lad comedy moseys through a delightfully meandering set about ageing, libido and 'the Strictly curse'.
