A Funny Life: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

I’m currently making my way through all of Britian’s celeb-memoirs it seems😅 It’s great listening on audible.

After reading this book (or rather listening to Michael reading) i feel now i will always know him better and always be rooting for him in whatever he does in life. Michael McIntyre's spot-on observational comedy and ability to turn everyday situations into masterclasses of human exasperation have struck a chord with millions of fans, making him one of the most successful comedians in the world.With his trademark observational wit and absolute candour, Michael looks back on the incredible highs and lows on the journey to becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the world. The book is full of stories that will make you laugh out loud and other times when he is semi serious talking about his relationship with his agent Addison Cresswell.

I am biased because I absolutely love Michael, I laughed out loud many times reading this and honestly I was shocked at how much he struggled over the years with money and his rise to the top. Not everyone will like you, and they don't have to, but performing to people who don't get it is tough. Michael has had a silly life, a stressful life, sometimes a moving and touching life, but always a funny life. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.I found myself missing him, and the rest of the book felt like it lost its sparkle, though their was also more weight to it, with Michael having to figure out how to move forward with his career without Addison in his corner. In addition to stand-up, Michael hosts the smash-hit television shows Michael McIntyre's Big Show (which won him a BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance) and Michael McIntyre's The Wheel. Instrumental in his rise where he wins a BAFTA, making huge DVD sales, selling out arenas, is his larger than life manager, Addison Cresswell. It’s clear this is what he’s always wanted and worked hard for, and I’m so glad he’s managed to make a success out of what he loves, and why shouldn’t you celebrate the gains that come with that?

It's all here, from his disastrous panel show appearances to his hit TV shows, from mistakenly thinking he'd be a good chat show host and talent judge, to finding fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams and becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the world. Perhaps he covered all this in his earlier one, though he says at the start that you don't need to have read that to read this. Although I am aware of Michael McIntyre, his huge popularity making him hard to miss, I have never seen his record-breaking comedy DVD's, or various TV projects.And although the verb tenses point to this news coming at some point, it’s still so sad for the person themselves, their family, friends, and for Michael when you get to that point. He is brilliant at narrating, using different voices for impersonating people, and it really feels as though he is sitting with you chatting, as now and again he interrupts the narrative with off the cuff remarks and asides.
