A Masterclass in finding the nation's funny bone - Sunday Times I just call it hilariously funny! Hello Wembley is the stand up comedy DVD from the very funny Michael McIntyre. I am not really a big fan of stand up comedy as I generally don't think the people are very funny. I usually think that stand up comics are the only ones that find themselves funny and tend to have a rather large opinion of themselves. Michael McIntyre is different. He can make fun of himself in a real way and one that makes you laugh out loud. I first started seeing him on the television program Live at the Apollo and enjoyed it and so when I saw that this DVD was coming out ...  Read the complete review

Michael McIntyre is something of an antidote to the likes of Frankie Boyle, who is incredibly crude, and while I find him hilarious, a lot of people get a bit tired of his cynicism and "edgy" gimmick. McIntyre is a very clever, sharp man, but he's a lot more like Russell Howard in his anecdotal, observational style, in that he's not quite so cutting or pessimistic. He is a lot more friendly and accessible, and has a very persuasive, charming style of storytelling. I first saw McIntyre's act on Live at the Apollo and also his Comedy Roadshow, and while I wasn't initially sold on him as he isn't as flagrantly offensive and off-centre as I like, he is ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael McIntyre is a phenomenon. It's not just that he has developed a very popular stand-up act based on a sharp wit and an infectious humour - his entire look and demeanour practically demand that you like him. In fact, his popularity these days seems to rival the late Queen Mother - you will rarely find someone who will publicly admit to not liking him, although I know a fair few people who, after a few drinks, are prepared to admit that they would like to give him a slap - but only just a little one. His humour is keenly observational - he takes ordinary, everyday objects and situations and by the ...  Read the complete review

Last year, Michael McIntyre's 'Live & Laughing' became the fastest selling debut stand-up DVD of all time, with over 650,000 copies purchased in the UK alone. This years follow-up, simply titled 'Michael McIntyre Live 2009', represents the stand-up equivalent of music's 'tricky second album', and includes an hour-and-a-half of new footage from the London-born comedian's recent sell-out gig at Wembley Arena. Born in 1976, McIntyre hit the comedy scene in 2001 after dropping out of a biology degree at Edinburgh University. With a rapidly growing band of followers, the chubby comedian's real break came in 2006 when Prince Charles chose him for the Royal ...  Read the complete review

Hello Michael McIntyre!! I love Michael McIntyre (I think everyone does!) and I don't find it surprising at all why his DVDs and live shows sell so well, McIntyre has such a great appeal to such a wide audience. I find it particularly refreshing how he is much more polite and considerably less profane than some other comedians. Personally, just swearing at your audience for 2 hours isn't exactly clever comedy is it? Thankfully McIntyre's approach is carefully considered and you can relate to his anecdotes much to your entertainment while your cheeks ache and eyes stream from laughing at is honest, camp and cheeky performance. He is a genius! I saw ...  Read the complete review
