Michael MacIntyre

[st_files]

Is there anyone, I mean anyone, out there who finds this guy remotely funny? He just seems like a posh bloke who's chummy with a load of London PR types who've managed to get him all this publicity and exposure. How on earth has someone with so little comedic talent managed to get so far???

[escargot]

I find him funny.

[bazking69]

Funnyish...

[st_files]

Cheers guys, looks like a short lived thread...

[Silverbullet767]

I like him, off to see him on the 25th of October at the SECC.

You got his name wrong! Michael McIntyre.

Having lived in London I found his skit on the 'Live at the Apollo' show about the London Underground very true and very funny. In fact his whole set(s) on the Apollo shows was very good (Scottish money, kilts, Glasgow terror attck, Kings of Leon Sex on Fire etc). Havn't seen the Tour show so dont know how good that is.

He's alright, some good stuff some bad, a slightly better than average comedian.

I find him funny. The stuff about the "man drawer" was spot on.

[st_files]

Fair enough, I just do not 'get' him in the least....

[jesta1865]

its the walking bus in the snow that gets me, especially when the woman 'gets off' and walks back the way they have come

[parakitaMol.]

I like him and find him funny.

[Blues]

Then you get to the rest of the drivel where you can't understand alot of what he is saying because he is laughing at himself too much.

Didn't find him funny in the slightest, but has grown on me somewhat.

Off to see him sometime in the next couple of months I think. Should be enjoyable, at least.


O/T - funniest comedian I've seen live? Lee Mack at the Apollo, before he was all over TV. Never lived up to that show.

[tonyvid]

Funny - very observational. He had me in stitches the other night when he was talking about being stuck behind tractors and an X5 driver trying to leapfrog the queue!

"i think you'll find that, my friend, is legal tender!"

I've always found him very funny, especially the sketch about walking - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmwBw10RmLs

Having spent some time on the underground too, alot of his stuff is observational humour, everything people can relate too.. And very funny in my opinion.

Scottish money got me, and about the scottish baggage handler.

I love Lee Mack, he's been doing the club circuit for years and I've seen him about 5 or 6 times - now slightly over exposed on all the comedy panel shows. Unlikely to be disappointed if you go and see him though.
