Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Frankie Boyle! Hello!

Please welcome my interpreter, Catherine King!

I've had quite an eventful year.

At one point this year, I even... Had quite an eventful year.

At one point this year, I even talked a guy down off a window ledge,

simply by shouting jump.

Oh, before we get started, I should say there's quite a lot of swearing in this show.

If you're not from here, swearing is different in Scotland.

In Glasgow, the word fucking is just a warning that a noun is on its way.

I live in Glasgow I think it's good for my sense of perspective to

living Glasgow because I grew up here and I to live in Glasgow.

Because I grew up here and I ended up becoming an alcoholic in my mid-20s.

Thanks for your support.

I had quite enough childhood. I thought I needed alcohol to complete me.

That's what an addict thinks, they think the substance that I addicted to completes them in some way.

And luckily enough, I met enough good people in my life.

I realized I didn't need alcohol to complete. And luckily, I met enough good people in my life.

I realized I didn't need alcohol to complete me.

But it's great for your sense of perspective

to live in a city that when you tell someone that,

they would reply, but it's Christmas.

I grew up working class if you want to know if you're working class or middle class, there's a simple way to tell.
