Urban Myths

Frank Skinner plays Johnny Cash on the final date of his 1983 UK tour in Urban Myths

Frank Skinner swaps his Black Country twang for a Southern drawl as he plays Johnny Cash on the final date of his 1983 UK tour, when he trashed a hotel room in Nottingham while experiencing drug-induced hallucinations.

Hotel manager Jean (Isy Suttie) talks her way into Room 211 and the country legend tells her that Waldo – a killer ostrich that attacked him in 1981 – is back to finish what he started.

It’s written by Skinner – and the comedian gets all the best lines.
