 The saga the father-in-law's soggy sock. November 5, 2008

If you've already seen Michael McIntyre's 'Live at the Apollo', and watched him on various panel comedy shows then you'll be pleased to hear that his "Live and Laughing" tour isn't a re-working of his older material, although some of it does seem to be cropping up when he makes appearances on TV - but that's to be expected.
Yes there are a couple of lines which you may have seen practised on Mock the Week or something like that, but you watch this and feel that you're getting good value for money. McIntyre takes inspiration from his home life for much of the show, from his seemingly anti-Semitic baby, to booking a holiday, to the 'man drawer' (where the old batteries, keys to the old house, and the old mobile phones live) and this insight into his life makes him more endearing.
In a nutshell: I really enjoyed watching this tour live (at Sheffield) and my wife laughed so much that she was hurting. I initially gave this 4 stars, but in retrospect I think it deserves 5. The Live at the Apollo performance which is included on this DVD contains his legendary 'man getting his head stuck in the tube train doors' routine which always has me in stitches no matter how many times I watch it. This is a brilliant stand up performance, a lot of creative imagination has gone into it, and I do not doubt that you will laugh until you have tears.
Many stand-up DVDs contain nothing you haven't seen performed before, but the main feature is pretty much all new material, and the Live at the Apollo routine is effectively his 'best of the rest' - and it's all good!
 Ah yes, humour without cruelty - I remember that! November 28, 2008

After seeing the likes of Jimmy Carr (a clever man whose live comedy unfortunately is derived from being nasty,cynical and cruel at heart) and Frankie Boyle (funny but again feeds on cruety and hate to get laughs) - it's so nice to see someone like Michael McIntyre perform live.
Although it is traditional observational comedy, there's nothing wrong with it when it's done this well.
Very few comedians make both my wife and I literally cry with laughter but I have to say that when Michael mentioned "The Loft Whores" (won't spoil the rest), we had to stop the DVD for 5 minutes to recover ourselves.
This is funny stuff, well performed, and it doesn't require you to laugh at someone else's misfortune or ask you to hate someone else before you can laugh at the joke!

after becoming a huge fan of his after his performances on live at the apollo, mock the week, the prince's birthday bash etc, i could not wait for this dvd, and it didnt disappoint. A superb performance with some hilarious sketches, such as his young son "adolf", breakfast buffets and farm traffic.
This dvd also includes his live at the apollo performance, which is worth a tenner in itself. Both performances are superb, and i cant wait for his next tour, in which i will surely be getting tickets for.

Stand-up comedians have gotten a bit lazy in recent years. They seem to have moved away from more personal material and instead relied on taking cheap shots at easy targets like George W. Bush. Now, just as Bush is leaving the White House, comes a comedian who has a refreshing back-to-basics take on things.
His name is Michael McIntyre and his real gift is to find new things to say about the banalities of modern life, a subject you would imagine had been done to death years ago.
Like the best ideas, the things he says are so obvious that you wonder why nobody else thought of them as a subject for humour before, but McIntyre did and he got it out there. Everyone can relate to the things he says and his self-confidence means that you never doubt him or his material. He manages the difficult trick of being consistently laugh-out-loud funny and, like all talented people, he makes something really difficult look very easy indeed.
With Billy Connolly apparently not putting out a new DVD this Christmas, he has left the field clear for a newcomer like Michael McIntyre to steal his crown as the funniest man around. Hail to the Chief!

You're probably only familiar with McIntyre from his regular appearances on shows such as 'Mock the Week', he could be the break through comedian of 2009 - he's that good.
Check out his 'Live at the Appollo' sketches on his MySpace page if you want a preview of what this DVD has in store for you.
It's obervational comedy at it's best.
This DVD's the first thing on my Christmas list, and I can't wait!
