Editor reviews

The best-selling audiobook Life and Laughing: My Story is written and narrated by one of Britain’s most loved comedians, Michael McIntyre, who gives an honest and hilarious recount of his incredible life. His memoir tells the tale of his life from childhood endeavors, his entry into the comedy scene and his brilliant rise to the top. He details his struggles and achievements, wildly funny attempts at romance, as well as the eccentric characters in the stand-up scene he has met along the way. His autobiography is laugh-out-loud, joyous listening. Available now from Audible.

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.

Just a good bloody book

It’s in different places, and sometimes all at once laugh out loud funny, emotional and raw, and very satisfying. Hard to imagine anyone could regret listening to this.

If it is at all possible, I love Michael McIntyre even more

The funniest, most inspiring and moving story of self belief, strife and eventual success. All told with so much humour and humility. I will listen to this book again when I need reminding that greatness is never achieved overnight, and I need a laugh. Thank you Michael for the gift you give us by making everyday things laugh out loud funny.

He’s not quite what I had thought

A very funny and touching autography and well performed - uplifting and depressing in equal measure

Very Entertaining

Very interesting, always entertaining and very well told by Michael. Sometimes moving, more often funny and a great insight into what comedians go through to try and make an impression. Highly recommended!

Like listening to a show

It’s funny listening to this, because we’re so familiar with the shows, so it just feels like a show. I’m not sure how it would read in print, but it’s great fun as an audiobook.
