Frank Skinner: 30 Years of Dirt

Following a sell-out UK tour, comedy legend Frank Skinner brings his critically acclaimed show 30 Years of Dirt to Sky and streaming service NOW. This comes in a brand-new stand-up special, filmed in front of a live audience at Soho Theatre, Walthamstow.

Following its debut in 2023, 30 Years of Dirt became a hugely successful nationwide tour, selling out 85 performances across the UK, including three West End runs. The tour was extended in response to audience demand and critical acclaim. Before concluding at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, where the special was filmed, Skinner reflected on the journey. During the performance, Frank explores his decades-long career. He discusses his attempts to perform “clean” comedy (and his subsequent, hilarious failures at it). He also shares his reflections on growing older. Expect sharp observational humor, masterful crowd work, and Skinner’s trademark storytelling. Plus, there is a mix of profound depth.
