Commentary During Books Life & Laughing: My Story
Michael McIntyre has become Britain’s biggest comedy star. His debut stand-up DVD was the fastest selling of all time, only to be eclipsed by his second that sold over 1.4 million copies and was the 2009 Christmas number one. He hosts his own BAFTA nominated BBC1 series, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, and won the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-up in 2009 following his record breaking fifty-four date Arena tour. But how did he get there? Michael reveals all in his remarkably honest and hilarious autobiography Life and Laughing. His showbiz roots, his appalling attempts to attract the opposite sex, his fish-out-of-water move from public to state school and his astonishing journey from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to selling half a million tickets on his last tour. Michael’s story is riveting, poignant, romantic and above all very, very funny.

I have always been and continue to be a massive fan of Michael McIntyre as a comedian; he is definitely one of my favourites and never fails to make me laugh. Reading his book, I had similar feelings. I read a chapter of it when I was waiting at the airport to go home and I was quietly chuckling to myself at his words.Michael's book is very funny and the manner in which he writes is similar to how he speaks on stage. I haven't done any research on an audiobook, but if there is one I truly hopeThis is just good fun. It's also an easy start into the world of biographies, which was good since I personally hadn't read that many. Its a nice reminder of how success just doesn't come as quick as you would expect, and not as depicted in most fictional books and movies. This is a great example of how hard work and strong will really is needed all the way through, and how talent - although important - is secondary to persistence. I laughed out loud so many times that my girlfriend now demanded

I listened to this one while working, and Michael's energy motivated me to work my a** off. I chuckled quite a few times. This guy is so likeable you can't help but want to listen to what he has to say and smile constantly.It's funny, charming and ridiculous at times, but it's also an inspiring story about failure and success. Even people who are constantly praised for what they do fail sometimes.
Really interesting and unexpected life story. Laugh out loud funnyMichaels life starts out privileged then goes through a full 360. So much respect for him and his determination to succeed.
Brilliant. Honest. Funny. I love MM! Im going to see him in Hong Hong next month :)
Overall this was a nice easy read. I was actually quite surprised to find out about McIntyre's family life, it would have made a great sitcom I'm sure!I assumed from his squeaky clean demeanour that he came from a perfect family life so I was taken aback by how eccentric and dysfunctional his family are. The book managed to be both funny and heart-warming in parts and if you are a fan of his then you are sure to enjoy reading "Life and Laughing". I loved the way he spoke about his parents, his
