About this audiobook

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.

My first audio book, fantastic! Listened to McIntyre everyday on my way to work and back (2hours a day) and loved every second! I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my bike and cried so much I also nearly fell off my bike! Amazing book, amazing jokes and even more amazing that McIntyre narrated the book himself. Defiantly a must buy and I'm hoping he writes a new one asap!!! BUY BUY BUY

Michael McIntyre is absolutely delicious. I love his voice when I watch him on the telly; so why wouldn't I LOVE listening to him talking about himself (in hilariously self-effacing manner) ?! I'm just sorry there hasn't been another instalment of his since this one: there can never be too much Michael McIntyre. I mean, you see him walk into the Graham Norton stuido and laugh the moment he opens his mouth. Never seen anyone so unpretentiously and harmlessly funny. LOVE HIM.

There's no doubt that Michael McIntyre is one of the best comedians and a legend. And this story of his life is a masterpiece.
