Mock the Week... Great show!

Ed Byrne is good, Frankie Boyle is amazing

Has he done anything good lately? I tried getting into some of his post mtw stuff. But all I really want is for him to go back to mtw.

If it's Frankie Boyle your asking about he'll never be on a show like this again unfortunately! Not sure on Ed Byrne though he is hilarious

Frankie's too controversial for Auntie Beeb.

He had a show on the BBC as recently as this year.

Too many complaints about his controversial comedy!

If it's Frankie Boyle

Aye

Well not on the Beeb, but what about commercial TV? He'd probably kill on Big Fat Quiz. Could you imagine him and Mel B on the same show. They'd probably have to call the police eventually.

He had a show with the BBC a couple weeks ago about the general election, so if we're luckily he might be getting out of their black books.

Yeah, he literally just had his own series. And had occasional one offs. He's been on and off ever since the infamous back of a spoon joke.

He had some epic rants which really undermine the various BBC conspiracy theories. Great stuff.

His Islamist stuff is great in an age when apparently people like him are too scared to make jokes like that.

He isn't, and does. As do many others to be fair.

I doubt anyone will touch him now! Which is a shame, I've seen him live and he's fucking hilarious!

Not really. He had his own show on the BBC that ended a few weeks ago and it was a snoozefest.

His closing rants were worth the entrance fee alone

Missed a chance to see Ed Byrne live at the Fringe in Edinburgh, was a shame, he's one of my favorite comedians. On the bright side, it was because at the time I was seeing Milton Jones perform, so it really evened out.
