BIOGRAPHY
Frank has been performing on the comedy circuit since the start of 2004. His relaxed, engaging style is coupled with a razor-sharp wit which makes his banter with audiences a joy to watch, whether as an MC or performing a set. No heckler has ever left one of Frank's gigs feeling insulted, just a bit silly.
He has delighted and outraged crowds across the country with his chats about Wales, women and cut-price sado-masochism. He has held audiences rapt as he talks openly and frankly about his family, religion, leaving home and his experiences with IVF, and audiences warm to him immediately.
Not afraid to stage-dive to embrace or kiss hecklers, he thrives on establishing an inclusive atmosphere at any gig he performs at, and is always happy for people to join in.
In addition to this, Frank's gift for impersonation and accents have marked him out as an able performer with the scope to deal with a wide variety of comedy audiences ranging from young urban crowds to more mature gatherings.
At the start of his comedy career Frank appeared in the final of the Laughing Horse New Act Competition 2004, and was a finalist at the London Comedy Festival 2004 New Act Competition and the FHM Holsten Pils New Act Competition 2004. He was also a So You Think You're Funny semi-finalist in 2004.
In 2005, he was the winner of the Home Nations Comedy Championship held at the Rib-Tickla Comedy Club in Havant, beating off strong opposition from his English, Irish and Scottish counterparts.
Over the past few years, Frank has established himself as a much in-demand MC at many venues nationwide, also securing residencies in both Cardiff and Reading. He has also proved himself on the corporate circuit, hosting events for HSBC, RCM and the BBC.
Frank has also made many radio appearances, including discussing the life and work of Bernard Manning as part of a panel which included Jim Bowen.
Frank has worked as a fishmonger, a fitter's mate, a barman and an investment analyst. He has a degree in theoretical physics and is fluent in French and Welsh. During the day, he is a director of a London-based investment management firm. As Frank has bases in both Camden and Cardiff, it gives him ample scope to work on the London circuit, and also venues further afield.
Frank rolls his own, likes the Times crossword and a stirred Martini, shaves using a cut-throat razor and is a member of one of the most brutal Turkish Baths in the East End. A skilled poker player, he makes regular appearances as a guest player on Sky Poker.
Currently Frank also works as part of a double act, called The Sweaty Egg, with Dan Mitchell, and they perform fortnightly at the comedy night they co-promote in The Hawaiian Bar in Cardiff.
In 2008 Frank appears in the forthcoming four-part BBC documentary “Funny Business” which charts the search for a new Welsh comedian. The show is broadcast from Monday Jan 21st at 10pm on BBC2 Wales/BBC2W, which is available on Sky Channel 991.
