Frankie Boyle's stand-up is often very funny and his stints on various panel shows like Mock the Week were always worth watching. But with Tramadol Nights, he has now descended into epic self-indulgence. I think somebody at Channel 4 needs to have a word with him and let him know just how poor his 'comedy sketches' are. His show is part stand-up, part sketch show. The stand-up is pretty funny, if typically offensive. But that's his trademark and if people don't like it, turn over. The sketches, however, are absolutely dire. I have genuinely not even come close to laughing at any of them. For a start, some of them are ridiculously long-winded and seem to drag on for an eternity. Also, the themes are highly repetitive. Frankie should stick to stand-up in future...
