C4 gives comic Frankie Boyle a no-holds-barred show
THE controversial comedian Frankie Boyle is to get his own show — named after a highly addictive painkiller.
The six-part Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights will be shown on Channel 4 and is a mixture of his trademark no-holds-barred stand-up routine and comedy sketches.
Boyle fell out with the BBC when he quit Mock The Week last year.
He accused the corporation of cowardice after he was rebuked for telling a joke about Palestine.
The Scottish comic said the BBC was a "great institution" which had become "cravenly afraid of giving offence".
Details of the new shows were revealed today as part of Channel 4's autumn schedule.
Boyle will be joined on the channel by relative unknown Morgana Robinson, who also gets her own comedy show.
