Biography
Ideally suited to the corporate scene, Michael Mcintyre's observational humour has turned Michael into one of the most sought after comedians in the UK today.
In 2007, Michael McIntyre was hailed as the "the most gifted young comedian around" by the Evening Standard and since then, his profile has rocketed. In his smart suit and electrified floppy hair-do this sublime stand-up is not necessarily what you might expect as the archetypal standup comedian.
Michael does classic observational comedy of social embarrassment better than anyone, whether it is exploring the protocol of kissing, dissecting the etiquette of exchanging phone numbers or revealing what happens when two limp handshakes collide. He turns everyday encounters into master-classes of anthropological exasperation.
Michael has the unique knack of taking subjects that comedians through the years have riffed on numerous times before and gives the audience a fresh perspective on his chosen soliloquy.
His live show has been a huge success selling out up and down the country including sell out stints at various theatres in London. In 2008, Michael released a DVD of his live show titled “Michael McIntyre Live & Laughing" and his book of the same name has become The Sunday Times #1 Best Seller.
Michael McIntyre has appeared on BBC One's Live at the Apollo and also on the Royal Variety Performance, in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
His routine on We Are Most Amused, staged at the New Wimbledon Theatre on 12 November 2008 in aid of the Prince's Trust, was also televised. This comedy gala celebrated the 60th Birthday of Prince Charles, and was performed in the presence of The Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Among McIntyre's many comedy panel show appearances are Chris Moyles' Quiz Night, Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News for You, The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, Would I Lie To You?, and The Apprentice: You're Fired. On 13 February 2009, he was a guest on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on BBC One.
In 2009, McIntyre appeared live as a guest judge alongside head judge Anton du Beke and fellow guest Emma Bunton in the first round of Let's Dance for Comic Relief. He appeared on the show again in the final.
Beginning on 6 June 2009, McIntyre began hosting a BBC show on Saturday nights entitled Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.
In July 2009, he appeared on the BBC show Top Gear as the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car and achieved a respectable time of 1 minute 48.7 seconds. During his lap he almost rolled the car while going around Gambon corner, named after Sir Michael Gambon who, in only the eighth episode, did the same thing in the previous Reasonably Priced Car.
In 2010, he took part in Channel 4's Comedy Gala, a benefit show held in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, filmed live at the O2 Arena in London on 30 March.
In 2010, McIntyre joined CBeebies reading the story at 'The Bedtime Hour'. He also appeared on the 2010 edition of The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, partnered with Alan Carr. The other participants were Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding, Jonathan Ross and Ruth Jones.
