Following a sold-out 2019 national tour, comedy legend Frank Skinner is bringing his critically acclaimed stand-up show Showbiz to the West End for a strictly limited five-week run. The last twelve months have seen Frank perform sold-out runs at both London’s Leicester Square Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe, making this the must-see comedy event of the new year.
What the critics have said about Showbiz:
“A master of everything from storytelling to quick one-liners. Shockingly good stand-up.” Stephen Armstrong, Sunday Times
‘Very funny indeed… the archetypal comic… irresistible’ Brian Logan, The Guardian
‘Very, very funny… Skinner remains a class act.’ Alan Chadwick, Daily Mail
What the critics have said about Frank Skinner:
‘Provocative, remorseless, and very, very funny’ Dominic Maxwell, The Times
“Outrageously funny” Mark Monaghan, The Telegraph
“One of Britain’s funniest men” Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard

Frank Skinner is still a brilliant stand up comic. His time on stage just flew by with non-stop blaughs and loads of laugh out loud anecdotes and quips. He had a brilliant warm-up/support act Pierre Novellie, originally from South Africa, but grew up in the Isle of Man. Great seats with a great view. Really enjoyable evening!!
We bought 2 partial view tickets and when we got to the seat's one was obscured by a post in front of the chair. The so called theatre Manager was diplomatic and reluctantly apologising but offered nothing to listen to our complaint and had a cheesy grin on her face when nothing could be done or offered. I know the tickets were bought late and we wanted the stalls and they appeared to be good value although we would have paid for the better tickets if they were available. Not even any sort of goodwill gesture was offered, it was nearly embarrassing to sit behind a dirty great big pillar where no seat should have been fixed. Thanks Garrick Theatre not
Brilliant show at a lovely theatre, all staff work really hard, are happy to help and very professional.
Frank was great but the theatre was so hot! We were in row S of the stalls. Everyone was feeling the heat. Even though I’d dressed appropriately in layers for the cold weather outside and being warm inside, we were all very hot. It’s an old theatre, I get that but lord knows what it would be like in the heat of summer ??????
Wonderful, a great night out. The support act was also brilliant
Very enjoyable evening plus the support act
Very enjoyable with a good support act. Just snout the right length of show. Would return again .
Fabulous evening, laughter from beginning to end
Very funny. Relaxed delivery which was enjoyable after a days work. So quick witted and spontaneous. Very topical and up to the minute. Only spoilt by someone recording him in the front row. Should have been chucked out!
The theatre was cosy ,the support act was very good and Frank was brilliant
Frank on top form - couldn't be better
Laughed so much my cheeks hurt
Keep me updated
