Comedian Frank Skinner is celebrating more than three decades as one of the UK’s biggest stand-up stars.
The Perrier Award-winner is back on the road for a third run of his latest show, 30 Years of Dirt, after a string of sell-out dates across the country.
The comic will be visiting Kent for a night at the Orchard West Theatre, the temporary home of Dartford’s Orchard Theatre, this autumn. Tickets are still available and can be booked online here.
The TV star started his career with a stand-up show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1987 and, in 1991, he beat fellow comedians Jack Dee and Eddie Izzard to win the festival’s prestigious Perrier Award.
In 1995, the Frank Skinner Show first aired on BBC One. The chat show, which saw guest appearances from celebrities such as Gene Wilder, Tom Jones and Jamie Lee Curtis, continued until 2005.
In 1996, he joined forces with David Baddiel to write and perform on the track Three Lions, a single by the Lightning Seeds which was released for the Euro 96 tournament. The song has since become a huge anthem among English football fans.
In more recent years, the comic has appeared on Taskmaster, hosted the panel show Room 101 and released Frank Skinner's Poetry Podcast.
Frank Skinner will bring 30 Years of Dirt to Dartford on Wednesday, October 16.
He is also performing at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on Friday, October 11 but tickets for this date have already sold out.
