Frankie Boyle to host Golden Joysticks
Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle, will host its upcoming Golden Joysticks, taking place on October 31 at the Park Lane Hilton in London.
“This year’s Golden Joystick Awards are shaping up to be the best yet, thanks to the support of our sponsor Virgin Media and Frankie Boyle signing up as host,” said event boss Emma Parkinson.
“The industry has always seen the Joysticks as a focal point of its calendar and long may this continue. Increasingly, it has become a focal point for mainstream press attention and a celebration of the games industry. As we aim for a million votes, we need the help of your fans and customers’ make the wider world proud of our industry.”
We’d care if we were going. We’re open to bribery if anyone has a spare ticket.

Going to see him next Friday in Edinburgh. Should be good. By far the funniest cunt on TV at the minute.

He’s a regular on Mock the Week and always guaranteed to say stuff on the riskier side of comedy. He’s very funny.

Yes, everybody go and watch Mock the Week somewhere, Frankie Boyle is the funniest person on television right now – and I’m an avid comedian-watcher and panel show viewer.
You get the point, go watch Mock the Week. 9pm on 2 tonight! GOGOGOGO! Well, go later, anyway.
