Chortle, 20th July 2017Fringe 2017: the comedy shows you should book now
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the best place to see comedy heavyweights perform alongside up and coming talent.
Rebecca Monks, i Newspaper, 5th July 2017Confrontational comic Frankie will be joined by regulars Katherine Ryan and Sara Pascoe plus a couple of as-yet-unnamed guests as he continues to explore, in his customarily barbed style, the bewildering election aftermath. Conversation and poetic monologues (witness Boyle's takedown of May the other week) will revolve round the continuing nightmare that is Brexit, and whatever other horrific flashpoints spring up in between.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 30th June 2017Boyle's shift into socio-political commentary hasn't blunted his tongue, and these days he's on far more entertaining form than when he was merely shocking for shock's sake. With a recent election and ever-obliging Donald Trump in the mix, there will be ample news-based chaos for him - and guests Katherine Ryan and Sara Pascoe, plus an interactive audience - to comb through for darkly comic common sense.
