• The sort of comedic moments I live for.... Frost feature week is a great chance to see one of the scene’s most overlooked comedians. One of the few comics who actively pushes to keep his comedy evolving. I caught him a few months back and he blew the doors of the room.

• Frost releases a careening barrel of bitterness that will have bracing yourself against rolling in the aisles from laughing at things your Aunt Joyce told you weren’t funny. Frost is crude, rude and marvelously maniacal
