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.

Hilarious, way surpassed my expectations
Even after reading all the glowing reviews for this audiobook I had not been expecting it to be anywhere near as funny or as interesting as it was. I was worried I'd regret not buying the book (and missing out on the pictures I know it includes) but Michael McIntyre really brings it to life in a way that I hadn't been expecting and his impressions alone are worth getting the audiobook! He evens adds extra bits and keeps some "outtakes" in if you are into that kind of thing. To be honest, even if you find him annoying normally (as I often do) I think this will still be horrendously entertaining, and it certainly made me like and respect him a lot more. If you are considering getting it, go for it, you won't be disappointed!

Don't listen to this on the train
I rarely read these celebrity books but am so so glad I made an exception for this one. It was excellent...and on several occasions it made me shake with laughter on the train to the horror of the person sitting next to me. Do listen to it...you won't be disappointed

Hard to listen to on a bus!
I laughed out loud so often while listening to Michael McIntyre narrate his autobiography that I am sure people on the buses I travelled on each morning thought I had gone mad. The anecdotes are genuinely funny, but there are some poignant passages too.

Use caution listening while driving.
Use caution listening while driving as it's difficult to drive while in tears of laughter!

Very funny
Not only is this book very funny, it’s also an interesting insight into the difficult world of aspiring and struggling celebrities.
There are plenty of interesting characters and names that you will have heard of.
If you like Michael McIntyre you will enjoy this audiobook.

Love this book
the only thing that is wrong with this book is that it had to come to an end. many times to and from work I found myself laughing out loud, sometimes with tears in my eye. well worth a read. ( or listen as I did).
