Publisher's summary

The riveting, poignant and remarkably honest biography from Britain's biggest comedy star, Michael McIntyre, brought to you by Penguin.

His debut stand-up DVD, Live & Laughing, was the fastest selling of all time.

Now he hosts his own BAFTA nominated BBC1 series, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, and has won the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-up.

But how did he get there?

In his compelling autobiography, Michael McIntyre reveals all.

With deeply personal and captivating narration, Michael unveils his incredible journey: from his showbiz roots, to his appalling attempts to attract the opposite sex, to going from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to half a million at his last tour.

Written and narrated by Michael himself, Life and Laughing is the hilarious performance and life story from one of the country's most loved comics.

Funny, honest and heartwarming.

I couldn't put it down. It is a story of a Real Family, Love, Loss and Success. I laughed so hard through the entire book. I'm so glad I chose Audible over the hard back book. His voice, inflections and additions were so much better than I could imagine if I read it myself. Thank you Mr. McIntyre this beautifully funny read. ( Well, read to me 😁)

Riveting and Laughter -Inducing

I knew he was hillarious. I've been following his comedy, and I love his humor. You would never have guessed the struggle he had to go through to reach the level of success he is enjoying now! McIntyre's unique perspective colors life differently, as depicted brilliantly in this book.

very entertaining

This is a great biography from a wonderfully funny man. There were points during this book where I was crying with laughter. Remember that it is a biography and not a comedy performance. A wonderful insight into his life so far.

Fantastic

It was clever and Hilarious!!! I love that Michael read his own bio!!! :D I enjoyed listening to him so many mornings on my way to work.

FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH !!!!

It's Ackle Ackingcackel!
Upon completion of the book in one day, the very NEXT DAY, I began it AGAIN. I highly suggest that if you appreciate Michael's unique brand, you purchase this book immediately.

No other time in my Audible experience have I begun and ended a book in one day. You simply CANNOT STOP LISTENING. Michael had me in stitches, my co-workers wondering what in the world was wrong with me all day as I listened via Bluetooth while working in my little accounting office.

And his description of the sad things. I was so sad, so floored. I was especially saddened by his grandmother, her loss indeed, so hard to reconcile why she would do this.. I kept hoping for a happy ending...

Anyway, he had the highest highs & lowest lows & a honeymoon that put him in debt. The issues with car crashes -- this is indeed an accident prone family! Gosh darn it, they don't even need to DRIVE the car to crash it. How does that happen??

I loved the beginning where he rails at us for being lazy asses and forcing him to read the book to us.!! I loved the end where he attempted to tie up all. Thank heavens he exists on Earth!
And if I ever meet him, I would have to comment that he has fabulous hair, simply wonderful.
Un-be-weave-able!
Wait - is that a weave Michael? Are you cheating? Giggles. Tons of Giggles.

Check out his DVD'S too.
Last night I was watching one, and he exits the stage GIGGLING! He says, things that are funny to him, he adds. so he's always smiling and giggling. (except when he is serious, when he's wearing glasses..)

Find and see everything he has done. You must!

Laugh out loud funny

Any additional comments?

A great book written and read by a supremely talented and genuinely funny man.

Laugh out loud, and cry a bit too

Wonderfully written and masterfully narrated. An inspirational story of a master comedian that I couldn’t put down. Even after my long drive home, I kept listening until it was finished. Thank you for your genius!

Michael is always awesome

It was charming, sweet, and candid story about his rise to fame. You could imagine his quirky movements and faces during every impression of the characters. Fun listen

A Touching Account

It is somehow easier to understand how he creates his humor after learning about the arduous path he followed, honing his craft.

Sensational

Love this man. He is the only one since Robin Williams that can make me laugh til I cry. Michael’s is a wonderful story of love and the undying will to succeed.

Going to New York mid February. Had I known that Michael was playing Radio City Music Hall the first of February I would have booked an earlier trip so that I could attend his show.

Good luck.
