My Take
Frank Skinner is the kind of comedian I quietly admire: university-educated yet allergic to pretension, sharp without being smug. Winning Best Comedy Entertainment Personality at the 2001 British Comedy Awards confirmed what fans already knew, that his warm, self-deprecating wit travels well. Coming out of working-class West Bromwich, he turns ordinary life and his own rough patches into laughs, and his autobiographical writing shows he can be vulnerable without losing the joke. The performers who last are usually the clever ones who never act clever. Skinner sits firmly in that camp, and I like him for it.
