From post-colonial arrogance to climate disaster, Frankie Boyle takes a
characteristically unsparing look at the key issues on our political horizon,
in this instalment of the FUTURES series
I don't think anyone can write an autobiography without wondering, "Why would anyone want to know this?" I've always read them thinking, "I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked!" This sets the stage for Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out-loud, cynical take on life. From his upbringing in Pollockshaws, Glasgow—"an aching cement void"—to his teenage sexual escapades ("a nipple on TV was like porn Christmas"), and his first job in a mental hospital ("persuading an old man not to eat a family-sized block of cheese"), nothing is off-limits. Outspoken and brilliantly inappropriate, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of Mock the Week, tackles the unsayable. He shares his wild ideas for TV shows ("Celebrities on Acid on Ice"), critiques his native Scotland, and takes jabs at political figures ("Voting for Boris Johnson was like voting for a Labrador in a Wonder Woman costume"). With sharp observations and taboo-busting humor, this autobiography showcases why Frankie Boyle is considered the blackest man in show business.
