Advantages: Great jokes, very funny

Disadvantages: DVD extras aren't great

We picked up this DVD just after Christmas after seeing Michael McIntyre on Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week and I have to say, it really is very funny.

Michael McIntyre's comedy routine is somewhat different to other comedians as he is quite well mannered - a fact that he plays on throughout his routine. He not brash and offensive as people like Frankie Boyle are, and he doesn't make jokes about other people's misfortune. A lot of his jokes come from real-life situations... one of my favourite parts being the 'man drawer' - every household has one and he almost had me in stitches cos it's so true!

The DVD is 15-rated, but I can't remember too much swearing or adult material in there - for a comedian Michael McIntyre is actually quite refrained and doesn't swear unnecessarily, which is quite refreshing by today's standards.

Sadly there aren't many extras on the DVD itself - although it does include Michael's routine that was used on Live at the Apollo. A few more behind the scenes features would have been nice though.

We were really impressed with this DVD, so much so that we immediately booked tickets to see him on his forthcoming tour... can't wait!

Summary: Buy it if you like to laugh
