Yeh but he never used to be tea total. Back in 1986/87 most weeks I would go to a comedy night at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath, if you don't know the upstairs room, if memory serves, 100 people and it would be rammed. Every week Frank Skinner was the compare for the shows and most of the time, if there was 30 people it was well attended. I have seen times when there has just been me and one or two others. At the end of the night Frank would always come over and have a pint or 5 with us. Even then his comedy talent stood out. Still seems weird watching him on TV though.
