    Advantages Advantages A fantastic autobiography

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Introduction: I must start this review by saying that up until about 6 months ago I didn't like Michael McIntyre. At all. Loathed him in fact as I found him just *too* annoying. Fast forward to the beginning of the new series of Britain's Got Talent airing and on discovering that McIntyre was due to be one of the new judges I can honestly say I was disappointed. Once I saw a few episodes of BGT however, I found myself warming to him. Liking him. Finding him VERY funny indeed to the point where I hunted down both of his DVDs to watch and I found myself literally creased with laughter and ... more

    5 Stars It's Not All Fun And Games 24/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Funny, interesting and above all entertaining whilst giving a good insight into Michael McIntyre

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you dont like him, you'll hate this

    He’s a comedian that seems to really split opinion between those that love him and those that can’t particularly stand him. For me I do enjoy his stand up, however I have to be in the right mood for it, as at times his energy can be a little much. So when I was given a copy of his autobiography for Christmas I was quite keen to get to know the man behind the screen portrayal. I didn’t really know what to expect from his autobiography, however the result was an interesting, open and rather frank insight into who he is and how it all happened for him, tinged of course with rather large helpings ... more

    Advantages Advantages Funny, conversational writing style. Candid approach.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages He does feel a need to tell jokes throughout.

    Michael Mc Intyre is a comedian that divides opinion. He is unashamedly middle class and his popularity is such that inverse snobbery is often the norm. As a nation we seemingly don't like admitting to liking somebody that has appealed to a mass audience. However, I have no such qualms. I am a huge fan of his style of observational and self-deprecating comedy. As such I greeted the receipt of his autobiography as a gift on Christmas Day with much enthusiasm. It is rare that an autobiography holds my attention but Life & Laughing grabbed my attention from the start. Mc Intyre writes in a ... more

    5 Stars Just how much will you Laugh? 24/06/2011

    Advantages Advantages appearance, price, humour, emotion

    A few years ago, I fell in love with stand up comedy. Now I'm not a naturally funny person, so watching these hilarious comedians work their magic is a mesmerising time for me. One of the first I fell in love with was Michael McIntyre. McIntyre's not too long ago released his autobiography, 'Life and Laughing'; I couldn't wait to dive into it. The cover, first of all, is wonderful. It's a mix of blues and greys, very attractive, with an image of McIntyre on the front. He is displaying his trademark cheeky grin, which is definitely an attraction! It's clear to spot on a shelf, definitely one ... more

    Advantages Advantages Entertaining, interesting and above all, it is funny!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I have always enjoyed watching Michael McIntyre perform; he is just so funny and has such a good stage presence. I find myself literally nearly wetting myself with laughter when I watch him and so when I saw that he had a book out, I was quite keen to read it. However as I don’t like hardback books, I waited until it was finally released into paperback and then when I went into Waterstones I bought it whilst they had the offer whereby if I spent over £10 I would get his book for the reduced rate of £4.49. Michael McIntyre is an English comedian who has been working his way up from small gigs ... more

    Advantages Advantages funny, good to read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    One of my Christmas presents this year was the new autobiography from Michael McIntyre - Life and Laughing, My Story. I am a big fan of Michael McIntyre, and I have both of the DVD's he has released in the past, so I was quite excited when I heard he was releasing a book. I was bought this by my partner as one of my christmas presents and I started reading it on christmas day, I was that eager to read it. The book is the story of life (as you would expect from an autobiography) for Michael from a young boy, all the way up to the day he finished the book. He tells us about his parents, his ... more

    5 Stars Laugh out loud!! 16/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light hearted, Funny

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I've been going through a bit of a rough patch, and there is nothing I find more uplifting than reading. Whilst browsing at a local book shop, I noticed this paperback book, Life and Laughing, for a bargain price of £4.50, and thought it would bring a bit of laughter. I wasn't wrong. I am not a huge Michael McIntyre fan, but I do like reading biographies, and have seen him on stage on a few occasions, all be it on the tv. The book is bursting with his life story so far. Close on 400 pages of it.It is crammed with everything from his humble beginnings. How one early show had only one paying ... more
