Frankie Boyle's alternative to a certain yearly light entertainment bonanza comes direct from a glamorous London theatre and features content so cutting edge and scurrilously funny that no self-respecting royal would ever dream of attending.
Frankie himself says of the show: 'I will appear on TV for very possibly the last time. A final swoop on the Death Star, it cannot end in anything but disaster...'
Appearing on the show are Rob Delaney, the American comic voted funniest man on Twitter by Comedy Central, and Nick Helm, nominated last year for the Foster's Best Show award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
