I know Ian Nicole both like Frank. He is my favourite comedian. This is for your amusement; it is Frank describing how he accidentally gave a Horse a "giant Chinese burn"

Hmmm...we don't really refer to that as a "Chinese" leather burn, LOL.
I do like Frank's style because his comedy isn't based off frenetic energy, like most American comedians. Just yell and flail your arms around and you could be an American comedian.

Nic, do they call the 'those type of burns' in America as Indian burns?
I loved this sketch but I wondered if this was from when Frank toured and didn't swear (curse) to see how his comedy was recieved?
This is one of my favorite Frank sketches and I was lucky enough to see him do this routine a few days before this was recorded, the place exploded in howls of Laughter.
I know its very rude and, well, I question adding it but I will take it down if requested after Matt and Nic have seen it.
Watch it form about 6.10 he is talking about Sex from behing male faces, and prior to 6.10 as well although 6.10 onwards it really gets moving!

I like those quirky faces he displayed when he was demonstrating the face face approach!
Have I just introduced you to a new favorite sketch Matt? and didn't you think those agressive faces were just horific!

LOL at Frank's behaviour!
Yes Frank said he had given up swearing initially as an experiment and noticed the laughs were exactly the same so he seldom uses bad language now!
We saw Steve Martin (Yes the comedian) last night in London playing the banjo with his blue grass band. The music and humour had me giggling between songs like a big baby
There was no bad language either, just Steve's cheeky face and masterful use of punchlines. He said "this is a song about sadness and Malancholy; a bit like my agents face when I told him I was doing a banjo tour"
or
"on the road we hire a big tour bus and the guys like to swap pictures and play cards and stuff...I know because when I call from my private jet they tell me this"
That made my dad double up!
