Explanation Toward 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.Itemize Books To Life & Laughing: My Story

A real rags to riches story concerning one of our most popular comedians Michael McIntyre. Bombastic, gauche, upper-class-twittery, sweet, charming Michael. He is almost as good on paper as he is in the flesh.He comes from a very eccentric family, and that in itself makes entertaining reading. Add a sprinkling of Michaels humour and you are guffawing regularly throughout the book. I was struck by how much of his humour seems based on his real life. So many comedians tell outrageous storiesI abandoned this book half way through but it's not a dnf as it was a reread and I only stopped because I began to remember so much from the first read, including the jokes so nothing was fresh and the jokes weren't funny any more. In the name of fairness I'll review it with perspectives of both reads.I love Michael McIntyre, he seems like a genuine fun loving, nice, sweet guy and that definitely comes out in his book. He paints a lot of colour into his childhood so you get a strong sense of his
I have always given autobiographies a wide birth. With no real interest in the personal lives of the rich and famous, I assumed they would be dry and boring. Well I flicked this open when shelving at the library, found a chuckle on the first page, and then discovered it was hard to put down. In some ways it read like a work of fiction and was very entertaining, often making me laugh out loud. So, it transpires that the first autobiography I've ever read was a hit. Maybe, more than likely, it was
This amazing book is the first I've finished in 2018..and what a great start.. The book is an autobiography of a comedian.. Doesn't sound very appealing but once you begin and read the funny fine writing style and how he jokes about his own life you become immediately hooked to the book.. And then you find the amazing rising career of this person.. A very touching story about how this man overcame his career struggles , financial struggles and personal life struggles, a story that is so
Made me laugh out loud whilst negotiating the M25.
amazing, I laughed I cried Just a great book x
This 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
