Frankie Boyle review – scorching standup gets laugh after appalled laugh

Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh With Lap of Shame, the comic delivers a set of breathtakingly rude jokes and thought-provoking ghastliness

A friend of Frankie Boyle’s, he tells us, stopped watching standup because it’s either “clever but not funny, or funny but not clever”. Boyle, of course, is an exception: his work makes you think, or has you marvelling at its merciless vision, even as it prompts laugh after appalled laugh. It also, these days, questions itself. As on his 2019 tour , the Glaswegian is still puzzling out the value of his nasty comedy in our ever-nastier world. Are necrophilia gags justifiable? Should he only tell jokes whose ethical intentions are clear?

Cynics, who presumably form a significant quotient in his audience, might think Boyle is having it both ways here – distancing himself from his jokes’ ghastliness while continuing (“If your favourite texture is a corpse’s clitoris …”) to tell ghastly jokes. But it’s certainly true that he cracks fewer gratuitously mean gags than he used to, and that most of his wee horror show constructions serve to amplify an opinion or rocket-fuel some political argument – burlesquing the inequities of the royal family or Richard Branson, say, or desecrating the pious conceit that work should be personally fulfilling. Or indeed affirming his own low moral stature, as per the gags about trying to have sex with a Nazi.

The other development in Boyle’s comedy is a slight loosening of the straitjacket in which his twisted vision is presented to us. The battery of gags relents a little, and there’s more of himself in there. His kids make an appearance; so too his mournful Donegal parents, who feature for a second show running.

But it’s a question of degree: your main take-home will still be the 49-year-old’s breathtakingly rude and brilliantly assembled jokes, which here dissect rapist policemen, Irish folk songs, Keir Starmer (“if he ran at a pigeon, it wouldn’t move”) and the feelings other serial killers harbour for Harold Shipman. Time after time, Boyle’s vision and violent lyricism catches your breath – because they’re so alarming, and because there’s an honesty to them that cuts through the blandifying white noise, revealing our brutal-as-Boyle world, if only for a joke’s length, in its true colours.

At Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh , until 28 August.

Frankie Boyle announces 2023 tour

Lap Of Shame to play 52 venues

Frankie Boyle has announced a major new tour for 2023.

The Glaswegian will be playing at least 52 dates with his Lap Of Shame show, kicking off at Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre and Opera House on February 27.

It comes despite the comic saying that he was tiring of life  on the road, and last night he tweeted: ‘I’m doing a tour. I really don’t want to but my family need a break.’

Promotional blurb for the new show says: ‘Buy a ticket, because by the time he arrives, the currency will be worthless and you and your neighbours part of a struggling militia that could probably use a few laughs.’

Lap Of Shame debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe this year and Boyle  has been doing a number of work-in-progress gigs in Glasgow and London working up material for the tour and his BBC Two show New World Order, which is currently in its sixth series.

Boyle also published his first novel, Meantime, this summer ( review ) and at the Edinburgh Book Festival in August said: ‘I would much rather, if I could, segue into writing novels and just stay in the house and not travel so much. I would happily do that if I could.’

Tickets for the new tour go on sale at 10am on Friday.

Frankie Boyle hits back at fans who blast ‘crazy’ rule at latest tour

• Stuart MacDonald
• Published : 13:51, 25 Feb 2024
• Updated : 13:51, 25 Feb 2024
• Published : Invalid Date,

FRANKIE Boyle has defended banning audience members who use the toilet during his gigs.

The comic has told venue staff not to allow people back in if they answer the call of nature after his act has started.

He has implemented the strict "no readmittance" policy on all the dates on his current 'Lap of Shame' tour of theatres in the UK and Ireland.

Glasgow -born Boyle , 51, told how he expected people to be able to sit through his 70-minute performance without a toilet break.

He said people getting up to use the toilet was annoying and disruptive to other audience members and advised fans not to drink multiple pints of lager before his shows start.

He said: "Someone was asking me why we have the no readmittance policy at the show which is if you go out to the bathroom you can't come back.

"It's quite a short show. The average time is about 70 minutes.

"The reason for the policy is if you get up to go to the toilet in an old theatre, which is most of the places we are playing, everybody in your row has to stand up.

"Maybe 10, 12 people and they'll have to stand up again when you come back. People don't like doing that.

"They don't make much noise about it, they are not as noisy as the people who hate not being readmitted, but they don't enjoy having to get up in the middle of the show.

"And a lot of them are getting older and I put that policy in to protect everybody's knees basically."

He added: "You're probably thinking '70 minutes? I should be able to sit still for 70 minutes and watch something I've paid a reasonable amount of money to watch. Why can't I do that?'.

"It's because you've drunk three pints of lager. So don't drink three pints of lager before the show.

"Have some shots or better still discover sobriety."

Reaction to Boyle's policy on social media from people who have attended his gigs has been mixed.

A fan who was at his show in Galway last month said: "Thought he was fairly good overall particularly when slagging off the woman in the 4th row on her phone.

"Crazy not letting people go to the bathroom and come back in though.

"I get it's annoying for him people constantly coming and going but at least do an interval if you're not going to allow readmittance."

Another audience member posted online: "I didn't mind not allowing readmittance as it's also distracting for the audience when people are constantly getting up and moving around.

"There was plenty opportunity to use the toilet before the show started and there was also a 20-minute break between the opening comedian and Frankie.

"I understand some people may have smaller bladders than others but you have to plan for this kinda thing."
