The Guardian, 29th April 2014Frank Skinner: Man In A Suit /Philharmonic Hall

Dave Sedgwick, Liverpool Confidential, 29th April 2014Review: Frank Skinner
Not a lot of depth though, if we're being honest, despite the punctuation marks of home-spun haikus and a touch of Greek philosophising, and a talent for painting a colourful verbal picture.

Pete Naughton, The Telegraph, 31st March 2014Radio Times review
Radio Times still has in its trophy cabinet a golden bowling pin that our crack team won in Frank Skinner's press invitational bowling tournament some years ago (narrowly beating The One Show). So it's no surprise that the host isn't sympathetic when Sue Perkins suggests consigning one of his favourite sports to Room 101. Instead, he upstages it with a clip of "cat laser bowling", a heartless pastime that cat lovers should on no account watch.
Perkins is on good form, though. She describes a mime artist as "a clown you can't hear coming" and mail-order clothing catalogues as "40 pages of wan nymphets in clogs". Also on the panel are Steve Jones and, showing a ridiculous amount of chest, Bruno Tonioli.
