Michael McIntyre

[salty seagull]

No,I haven`t heard from my `source` that we`re signing him but I`ve been reading his Autobiography and it`s one of those rare easy-reading books that is so funny in parts that I`ve had to put it down for the tears to clear in my eyes. I`m not the sort of bloke that laughs at anything but this really had me laughing out loud.It`s funnier than reading the Palace forums and for less than £4 at Asda you can`t go wrong.Just thought I would spread the joy!!

I listened to the audio book which was really good

 

[tinx]

Yeah i read this a while back and thought it was very funny.

 

[pasty]

Oh, might give it a go then. I got given it last christmas but haven't bothered with it as I'm not a massive fan.

 

[rocker959]

About as funny as woodworm in a cripples crutch imho

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I have to have been stranded on a desert island with absolutely nothing else to read, or do, to even consider picking up that twat's autobiography. And even then I'd wait a few months before delving in, in the hope that a better read might float past on a piece of driftwood.

Why is he a "twat" ?

I think he's one of the better stand-ups. Doesn't rely on a string of expletives to be funny either.

 

[Mellotron]

I never ever find books laugh out loud funny, don't know why but never found it a medium I engaged with enough to actually audibly laugh. Except for Russell Brands booky wooks, which are utterly hilarious.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Began reading it, but with exams I've had to start reading these text book things...might pick it up again soon

 

[Lankyseagull]

Listened to the audiobook while driving to and from Weston-super-mare a few weeks back, very funny & made time fly by!

As I don't find his stand up funny then I'm not inclined to pick up, let alone buy, his autobiography.

Doesn't rely on much else either as far as I can tell, just don't get what people find amusing about him - far rather have Sean Lock or John Bishop.

Stephen Fry's book was good though

 

[generation x]

I can't tell you why for sure but I just find him very annoying. I got given his book - never opened and pulped it.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

It's just a very enjoyable read-not too demanding. Quite good for the summer when there's no footie.

The reason for the thread was really for those people who do like Michael McIntyre and may not know, as I didn`t until I saw it, that he had a book out and if you enjoy his humour then you will probably find it very funny.As you don`t like him the thread obviously wasn`t aimed at you so I don`t know why you bothered to comment, you miserable sod.

 

[Easy 10]

Watched one of his roadshows on the Comedy Channel the other night, and his observations about mobile phone numbers, revolving doors and handshake etiquette had me laughing out loud.
I dunno, maybe I'm easily pleased.

 

[Nickols4]

The funniest autobiography I've ever read. He seems a genuine guy who really doesn't take himself too seriously. Having said all this, I can see why certain people don't warm to him.

 

[pasty]

Started reading it last week, and yes, it is pretty entertaining. About half way through now.

 

[Sloe Joe]

He's irritating to watch, if only he'd get cramp or shin spilints or bust his achilles, he might be funny.
Just stop moving about as if you're on some heroin fix

Why is he a "twat" ?

I think he's one of the better stand-ups. Doesn't rely on a string of expletives to be funny either.

The problem is he's become so big, that instead of people saying "actually, he's not my cup of tea" they decide he's a twat.

I think he's good, but a bit overexposed - don't need to see quite as much of him!
