Frankie Howerd has been thrown out of heaven. As he bemoans his fate, dressed in robes and halo, he reveals what made him tick, what took him up and what brought him down.

Most extraordinarily of all, he tells how his hesitations, his oohs and ahhs, his no, nos! were all carefully written and not ad-libs at all. So how much freedom and how much control did he really have in his act?

The man who once wanted to be a saint battles for his soul with God and throws in some glorious one-liners and a lot of cheeky innuendo along the way.

Up Frankie! is a fun-and-frolics romp through the life of one of Britain’s most revered comedians.
