Dave (hubby) and I love programmes like Mock the Week, QI, Live at the Apollo and Have I Got News For You so we have enjoyed watching the rise of the comedian Michael McIntyre. We both love his anecdotal style of humour.

A couple of months ago Dave had an operation on his ankle and had to spend some time confined to the house so I decided to treat him to the DVD Michael McIntyre Live & Laughing to help with his recovery – after all they do say that laughter is the best medicine!

Laughter is exactly what we got as well!

As I said earlier his humour is the sort based on stories rather than the telling of specific jokes. He just stands there and tells you about things that have happened to him – obviously embellishing the story for comedic effect!

He has the sort of voice that is easy to listen to and easy to understand. I say that because sometimes I find that if a comedian has a strong accent or they get really excited and begin to shout or talk quickly or heaven forbid a combination of all three I can’t make out what it is they are saying. Michael’s voice has an almost public school accent to it without it being too posh and affected if you know what I mean so it is really easy on the ear.

He describes the most ordinary things in such a way that you end up in fits of giggles saying ‘Oh yes I do that……’. The man drawer in particular is nothing short of hysterical. I am not about to repeat the details of any of the humour here and potentially spoil the DVD for those of you who haven’t watched it yet but suffice it to say it was worth every penny that I paid for it!

The DVD is rated a 15 certificate as it does have some sexual references and a bit of swearing but not too much. To be honest McIntyre doesn't need to swear to try and make his act funny – it is funny without him having to pander to those who enjoy swearing or crudity.

We were happily surprised when the Hammersmith Apollo performance finished but instead of it being the end of the DVD we found that the footage of his appearance on the BBC's live at the Apollo too was on next! The running time is 1 Hour 24 Minutes so we felt that we had got good value for money.

If you want any more information about Michael McIntyre he does have a website at www.michaelmcintyre.co.uk where you'll find details of any tours, his sketches and lots more information.

I paid £6.99 for this DVD from www.play.com and got some cashback by going via www.cashinco.co.uk so it really was well worth the money!

I would happily recommend it to anyone who wants a real good laugh!

BTW I have answered 'average' to the Ciao questions that don't make any sense - as usual!
