The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I have seen Frankie Boyle's stand up show on a couple of occasions and although sometimes it was in very poor taste it was also very funny. I watched his new sketch show Tramadol Nights last nights and as some one who has previously spent his hard earned to see him I can only describe it as a big pi...

Well fucking done you. That's an achievement.
