Frank Skinner has been forced to cancel his Edinburgh Fringe run because of a family health issue. The comedian was set to kick off a run of his new show 30 Years of Dirt at Assembly Roxy tonight (Thursday) but has pulled out.
It was a comeback to the stage for Frank, 65, who enjoyed huge TV success in the late nineties and noughties and even had a successful music career with comedy partner David Baddiel.
Recently he's been the subject of a South Bank Show profile and Three Lions, which he co-wrote with Baddiel and Ian Broudie from the Lightning Seeds, has been rocketing up the charts thanks to England’s success in the Euros.
