Frank Skinner Autobiography by Frank Skinner
Winner of the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival, Frank Skinner's humour is a mixture of laddishness and philosophy. This is the story of the highs and lows of his life and career. He tells how he inherited his father's passion for football, as well as his passion for alcohol.
