Controversial dark humour

Frankie Boyle is a Scottish comedian and writer, well known for his pessimistic, often controversial dark humour. He was a permanent panellist on Mock the Week for seven series and has made guest appearances on several popular panel games including Have I Got News For You, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You?, You Have Been Watching, Never Mind The Buzzcocks (as guest host) and Argumental, as well as writing for Jimmy Carr's show Distraction and Sean Lock's TV Heaven, Telly Hell.

Boyle was a regular on the BBC panel show Mock The Week until October 2009, where the panel comment humorously on various news stories from the British media. He has been referred to as the 'dark heart of Mock the Week' by host Dara Ó Briain. He is known for his morbid sense of humour, which plays on negative images of society (particularly his country of birth, Scotland), celebrities and politicians. His eye for absurdity is as sharp as his suits.
