 New Light Through Old Windows November 26, 2008

Stand-up comedians have gotten a bit lazy in recent years. They seem to have moved away from more personal material and instead relied on taking cheap shots at easy targets like George W. Bush. Now, just as Bush is leaving the White House, comes a comedian who has a refreshing back-to-basics take on things.
His name is Michael McIntyre and his real gift is to find new things to say about the banalities of modern life, a subject you would imagine had been done to death years ago.
Like the best ideas, the things he says are so obvious that you wonder why nobody else thought of them as a subject for humour before, but McIntyre did and he got it out there. Everyone can relate to the things he says and his self-confidence means that you never doubt him or his material. He manages the difficult trick of being consistently laugh-out-loud funny and, like all talented people, he makes something really difficult look very easy indeed.
With Billy Connolly apparently not putting out a new DVD this Christmas, he has left the field clear for a newcomer like Michael McIntyre to steal his crown as the funniest man around. Hail to the Chief!

You're probably only familiar with McIntyre from his regular appearances on shows such as 'Mock the Week', he could be the break through comedian of 2009 - he's that good.
Check out his 'Live at the Appollo' sketches on his MySpace page if you want a preview of what this DVD has in store for you.
It's obervational comedy at it's best.
This DVD's the first thing on my Christmas list, and I can't wait!
Ah yes, humour without cruelty - I remember that! November 28, 2008

After seeing the likes of Jimmy Carr (a clever man whose live comedy unfortunately is derived from being nasty,cynical and cruel at heart) and Frankie Boyle (funny but again feeds on cruety and hate to get laughs) - it's so nice to see someone like Michael McIntyre perform live.
Although it is traditional observational comedy, there's nothing wrong with it when it's done this well.
Very few comedians make both my wife and I literally cry with laughter but I have to say that when Michael mentioned "The Loft Whores" (won't spoil the rest), we had to stop the DVD for 5 minutes to recover ourselves.
This is funny stuff, well performed, and it doesn't require you to laugh at someone else's misfortune or ask you to hate someone else before you can laugh at the joke!

I went to see Michael McIntyre at The Place in Shropshire where, at the end, he informed us he was practising his set ready to film his DVD the next day. If it has half the act he gave, it is well worth the money, he had me in stitches the whole night! From tractors to his newborn son he covers it all. The second half is a little more risque, and you might want to make the children leave the room to avoid the swearing but on the whole another cracking performance!
Absolutely Amazing November 22, 2008

I pre-ordered this DVD weeks ago, such was my excitement, and I was in no way disappointed. From start to end I had tears rolling down my cheeks from my constant laughter. I love him on Mock The Week, I've watched clips of him at The Comedy Store on the internet (highly recommended) and knew I had to get this. There is hardly any recycled material (as far as I'm aware) from TV shows he's been on, or other stand-up of his that I've seen, however I was almost disappointed not to see the "Walking bus" routine repeated! Definitely the break-through comedian of this year in my opinion. I hope people realise just how funny this guy is. Incredible observatory humour.
