The Comedy Forum is set to host an evening of cutting-edge comedy on Sunday 15th June, featuring one of Scotland’s most successful stand-ups Frankie Boyle.

Rising to national prominence through his appearances on Mock The Week from 2005 to 2009, Frankie Boyle still remains one of the UK’s most fearless comedians with his brutally harsh one-liners and his trademark cold-eyed deadpan look. While his style has drawn both praise and criticism, he remains an influential figure in comedy, known for his sharp intellect and willingness to confront uncomfortable truths.

Joining Boyle on this exceptional bill will be MC Hammersmith, winner of the Scottish Comedy Award for Best Newcomer, will captivate the audience with his improvised rap comedy. Rising star Chris Washington brings his Northern charm to the stage alongside the host for the evening, Sunderland's own Matt Reed, whose affable yet brutally funny style ensures a smooth and entertaining show from start to finish.
