He reminds me weirdly of Jake Thackray who I also discovered through idle internet browsing... Both incredibly creative and irreverent but not in the mold British culture allowed for unless you went to private school. So they remained obscure and poor even as those around them who were willing to play the game won fame and fortune.
Back in the days of quality entertainment, Frank was the best, happy days I was at a punk festival in Blackpool many, many years ago and it had a little room with Frank calling out bingo numbers yet no one had any bingo cards, funniest thing I've ever been involved in
Didn't realise how much I missed the guy until creeping through the archives - his farce is legend now. We'll keep your legend alive by using the word you made famous. Bobbins. We will, We really.............. will. Thank you and good night! RIP you Timperley legend!
wow. nothing says Performer like gold lame', just ask Elvis or my dear departed friend, Phil Ochs. This is on of the most daft/brilliant/surreal/funny/crazy/fascinating things I have ever seen. Cool audience too. Came here from the movie "Frank" which was very moving for me. Peace
You should watch the documentary on the real guy behind Frank, Being Frank: “The Chris Sievey Story” The film with Michael Fassbender is loosely based on this Frank but isn’t really if You get what I mean.
Love the way every cover version he does is in C, so that he can just throw any old cardboard prop around the white notes and it kinda works. Clever stuff. :-)
***** It is wonderful ! People compare him with regular comedians/musicians and commercially successful people and say he wasn't as good ! He has a bronze statue in his memory in the town he brought to such prominence, what more could you want ? Some people become bitter and twisted and resent any recognition anyone gets, even if they are surreal and imaginary !!!....
***** Actually if you read the Chris Sievey biography you would know that he met Bowie & that he owed him a guitar! Not sure about Prince but he definitely recorded a demo for Apple records.
Guys, Frank aint dead. He'll never die. There's a yearly Frank festival being planned to keep this wonderful humour going. I remember Frank being on a radio pop quiz some years ago, .... question to Frank "What was Alvin Stardust's real name? Frank: - "Er, ooh, er ... it was something like, real common, er ....that's it, BERT Stardust! Priceless. :-)
I am probably one of the very few who bought Franks mini single. In a market one day I came across his single. I bought it because it had Bohemian Rhapsody. I have no idea where it went.
RIP Big and Little Frank..Chris you were unique!! General Custard you're a fool.Mike Tyson you're a fool..but at least you're a millionaire...The Alty The Alty...Bobbins news!
I have researched the internet over the last 20 yrs, and its finally paid of.

Bless you Frank! Sadly missed.
Genius. I love that Little Frank's body is made from a Tesco's cardboard box.
robert maycock lol 😂 well spotted Tesco should be well proud
That's showbiz for ya!
Frank Argh Saviour of the Universe!
You only got 14 hours to save the earth.
I know I've got my watch on
Whatever he did, I've become attracted to it. Especially the way he took hold of that Flash song
King of the impossible.
How many of us are trawling youtube tonight to watch this genius again? What an absolutley bobbins day.

We will, We really.............. will. Thank you and good night! RIP you Timperley legend!

No. He's not up there with those guys. He's higher! In fact he's on a par with Peter Andre. Yes, he's THAT good. He really is.
***** He really is.....he really is !!...
Petre .W. I love the way that Frank is still causing unease from beyond the grave.
***** It is wonderful ! People compare him with regular comedians/musicians and commercially successful people and say he wasn't as good !

If there was an alien invasion, we would just hit them with this pure genius and they would just go home. Timperley big shorts rules.

The most amazing and disturbing thing I have seen since I saw the Vulcan with anti grav tech in 1971, now as Tr3b and Tr6Telos, and others.

Pity you lost it, it would be worth literally pence now.
Acid Heads

Eyes duh lolol
thebearstreetballs His head doesn't have holes

This is absolutely not bobbins.
I hate Frank and little Frank, it makes me realize I have wasted my life trying to be sensible.
I was once married to Frank before he became a man !
The only decent thing he did was to drop dead.
I was at a Frank Sidebottom concert the day that Freddie Mercury was taken "a bit poorly" and I will miss Frank very much.
Cheers then Frank !.
