Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

...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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

'''Micheal McIntyre''' Micheal McIntyre is a relativly new character in the comedy world, but is fast becoming one of the most memorable stand-up comedians of the modern stage. He's already done shows such as _Mock The Week_ and _Have I Got News For You_, and is already my favourite comdial at the moment. When I first saw him on _Live At The Apollo_ I was left wanted so much more, so I didn't hesitate to purchase this DvD as soon as it came out. ...
...'''The Performance''' The DVD is as simple as you could expect; aside from a short sketch at the beginning the main feature of the DVD is simply McIntyre performing basic stand-up at the Hammersmith Apollo. It's the same concept as _Live At The Apollo_, and whilst it may be without the special effects or events of some shows, it is still immensly watchable and enjoyable. The performance itself is similarly very simple, McIntyre rarely uses the audience ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

...events and being completly stupid, Michael McIntyre is quite similar to that but without the visual part of the stories and the sweating! His laugh is also infectious, he laughs at his own stories and you cant help but laugh along with him The dvd itself is pretty basic, only his Live at the apollo performance as an extra. Theres a brief opening scene of him being posh and chauffered around but apart from that, thats it. To be honest though you ...
...cats, Big Fat Quiz of the Year and the Royal Variety Performance. If you havent your missing out. Awards include the Chortle Award for best headliner and this actual dvd is the fastest selling stand up by a debut comedian. Michael McIntyre is the future. Live the dream! ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

I first saw Michael McIntyre on a variety performance when flicking channels and was to be honest not a fan but after seeing him on Mock the Week and feeling that he has developed his style of comedy I decided to give this dvd a shot and was not disappointed. Michael McIntyre is an extremely intelligent comedian who always delivers his style of humour in a way which should make you feel like you are being spoken down to by him but it actually feels ...
...he is. I love watching Michael work as he is not scared to laugh at his own jokes and I was very impressed by his audience interraction which I have seen a lack of with some comedians but he has worked hard on his set and is now certainly at the top of his game. The dvd will deliver laughs and intelligent comedy and you will not walk away feeling like somebody has just stood swearing at you and insulting your inteligence but will infact walk away ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

...he did! Michael McIntyre is a very talented man. He shows this by being witty, extravagant, descriptive, comical, approachable and very, very entertaining. Within five minutes of the opening credits the fella was wheezing and I was crying; maybe this DVD should have a health warning? We were laughing not just at the brilliant delivery but with recognition at the situations Mr McIntyre descibes - he finds the funny side to the most bizarre of situations ...
...the Apollo', if your sides can take a bit more. I've also enjoyed seeing Michael McIntyre on TV game shows such as Mock The Week. If you like what you see on TV, you'll love the DVD! PS: Specific Criteria not exactly to the point I'm afraid...... ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

...You may already know that Michael McIntyre is hilariously funny, offering a brilliant social comedy from a middle-class perspective that manages to reach all people. The DVD In Tesco's it costs around £14, so I imagine it will be something similar everywhere. It includes the full, over-an-hour-long performance, plus his performance from a while ago on Live at the Apollo. This is excellent value for money - can you imagine having to buy tickets, ...
...the way down to London, find the Apollo, and probably utilise some form of public transport? The thought is horrifying. Instead, buy the DVD, gather your friends round, with a lot of food that won't cause a mess when you laugh uncontrollably while eating. Fizzy drinks not recommended! The Material The whole performance is brilliantly funny from start to finish. Covering subjects from traffic to toddlers with airports and attics in between, there ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

When Michael McIntyre broke onto the scene I new he was something special. Having stormed the TV shows such as The Royal Variety Performance, Live At The Apollo, Hava I Got News For You and Mock of The Week, McIntyre has become one of the UK's greates comedians amongst the likes of Ricky Gervais, Lee Evans, Jimmy Carr and Peter Key. McIntyre is a truly unique and sensational comedian that takes comedy to a new level. The way he performs on stage ...
...shows are something to behold. "Live and Laughing" is sensational and he makes you fall off your seat with his wit and unique material. The DVD includes the performance from BBC 1's "Live At The Apollo", a performance which took McIntyre to another level and made him the star that he is now. The material takes the audience's laughter to another level, and the way in which he speaks, acts, and runs around stage will make anyone cry with laughter. ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

...someone said have you seen Michael Mcintyre live I would of said Michael Who? But appearences on Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You and a utterly comical performance on Live at the Apollo have put this comedian on the map and he deserves to be there because he is a genius on the circuit. This DVD had me laughing a hell of a lot with Michael's witty ways of observing everyday life from his family to getting lost and going on holiday. He follows a ...
...but what is great about Michael is that it's all new to everybody and it's stunningly hilarious. His impressions get me hooked because they are so bemusingly accurate especially how he can get his voice so high. The downside is that he is only on stage for an hour and a half which when watching flys by took quickly and you want to see more. This comedian is one to watch out as he is a rising star and starts his big arena tour in september 2009 ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

From start to finish Michael McIntyre ("Mock the week", "Have I got news for you") keeps you engaged and enchanted with his sincere sense of humour. Much like a slightly less animated Lee Evans, his social observation and self ridicule can be warmly related to and enjoyed without the use of excessive bad language or smut! I was particularly impressed by the amount of material he performs without turning to the audience to mickey take. The DVD itself ...
...set as a little bonus extra! Over all I would say this is an excellent buy and a great watch that can be enjoyed from son to grandmum! Oh, I watched this with my cousin a few days after he come out of hospital from a stomach op'.. He couldn't stop laughing no matter how much it hurt till eventually he was sick, true story! ...

...dad got me this DVD, Michael McIntyre - Live & Laughing. In my opinion, all of the sketches were fantastic! The sketches that I found really funny were the "Argos", "White Wine", "Think *****, Say Tut", "Traffic", "Playgroup" and "Buffet". The DVD also comes with an extra, which is Michael's 2007 Live At The Apollo performence, I think this is very funny! My favourite sketches from here were: "Trains", "Telephones" and "Walking". My mum got this ...

...in the same league as Michael McIntyre! I talk to my friends about which DVDs i like and don't like, and this one is my favourite, (hence reviewing it first!) and i regard Michael as one of the greatest prospects coming out of England at this time!

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

michael mcintyre is without doubt the best observational comedian of today, This DVD was taken from the Apollo Theatre in London and it is a must buy. The content ranges from his past experiences, to the things he finds most annoying in every day life. He manages to convey the feelings that everybody else has about particular topics and it is " Funny because it is true " . The best thing about the show is that the material is very original and ...
...His performance at the Apollo Theatre that was recorded a few years ago. It was also on the BBC recently and it is a great feature to have as it is approximately 30 Minutes of extra footage! Overall, this is a must have DVD for any michael mcintyre fan ...

Review of Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing (DVD)

Now where do i start. Michael McIntyre has always been pretty interesting due to his gay like voice, and his famous performances at 'Live At The Apollo' and 'Mock The Week' plus many more. So when i heard about his new release i rushed to the shop to buy this DVD. Watched with a few mates and we laughed our heads off, seriously the storys he talks about are amazingly funny. His hour and a half mixtures of long and short gags are so unique, plus ...
...Michael up into the league of amazing comedians such as Lee Evans and Frankie Boyle. This performance is outstanding. to prove it a few comments from papers; 'One Of The Most Gifted Performers To Emerge For Years' By Evening Standard. 'Inhabits The Stage Like He Was Born There' By The Guardian. It also includes a half an hour Live At The Apollo special of him and it is a hilarious bonus. Give this a go and trust me it will get you laughing, there ...
