Ideally suited to the corporate scene, Michael Mcintyre's observational humour has made him one of the most sought after comedians in the UK today.

The Meteoric Rise

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 neccessarily what you might expect as the archetypal stand up comedian.  Michael's first DVD, Live & Laughing was the fastest selling debut standup DVD ever.

In 2008, Michael was nominated at the British Comedy Awards for Best Live Stand-up and was nominated at the 2009 The South Bank Show Awards for Best Comedy. In 2008 he was the fastest selling comedian at the Edinburgh Festival and sold out five nights at London's 3600 capacity Hammersmith Apollo.

Classic Observational Comedy

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 masterclasses 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.

He has appeared on numerous chat and panel shows including 'Have I Got News For You', 'Mock The Week' and the Royal Variety Performance. Michael has also hosted the BAFTA nominated show 'Live At The Apollo'.

In 2009, Michael hosted a saturday night show on BBC One, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow where he showcased some of the UK's up and coming comedians.

Praise for 'An Evening with Michael McIntyre':

"If there's a funnier, slicker, warmer hour of comedy to be found, I haven't encountered it"
THE TELEGRAPH

"McIntyre is the ultimate 21st-century stand-up, his expertly paced delivery of mainstream anecdotes with a dark comedic undertow winning audiences' hearts and minds"
THE HERALD

"A punch-line away from stardom"
Evening Standard

"The most belly laughs per minute on the fringe"
The Independent

"Improvisational wunderkind"
The Times

"Guarantees a room full of mirth"
The Metro

'Michael McIntyre generates most of his material by chatting to the audience. As confident as he is quick-witted, Mcintyre is a boyish, likeable chap who improvises as effortlessly as Eddie Izzard and Ross Noble except with an additional knack for characters and accents. No comedian makes his job look easier. Any producers who are looking for a new TV Presenter should go to his show and bring their chequebooks.'
Independent on Sunday
