À propos de cet audio
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.
Brilliant and very touching.

I’m happy I didn’t. I’m also happy I chose the audible version,
(Even if he is not).
His stories of failure, struggle, heartbreaks and his relentless fight to make his dreams reality were -mostly- engaging and he has a way of drawing one in.
I don’t know if he actually thinks this way or if he just thinks it’s funny - and I will leave it to other readers to make their own call but would be remiss if I left a review without mentioning my disappointment (to say it gently) by moments of blatant misogyny, body & appearance shaming, and comments about members of the lgbtq2s community. There were times it was so tiring I almost turned it off but put it on 2.5
Speed instead.
His delivery is perfect, heartfelt and funny and just what I hoped for.
In the second half of the book I found myself really looking forward to pressing play and in the last chapter I had a lump in my throat cheering for this self described funny, somewhat loveable loser.
I’m happy I stuck it out -

I only discovered Micheal recently long after the rest of the world it seems when clips and videos started popping up on YouTube - and they had me laughing so hard. I noticed somebody in the comments had said how this man’s comedy had lifted them out of depression and I wasn’t surprised.
I personally think his office paint name (the angel number 222) is a very good sign that and the medium predicting his success was genuine. I’m writing this review now at 2.22 - a number which I coincidentally saw under a thumbnail of the Union Jack on YouTube just before my Canadian mom told me she had met an English man on a Facebook gardening page who turned out to be the love of her life. A lovely man.
Bless Micheal for making so many people happy! And bless his family! His dad must be so proud - because not only are we all eternal, every relationship is too. I’m sure he and Kenny have been helping to inspire him and enjoying all the fun.
The best!
