Michael McIntyre has become Britain's biggest comedy star. His debut stand-up DVD, Live & Laughing, was the fastest selling of all time, only to be eclipsed by his second, Hello Wembley, which sold over 1.4 million copies and was the 2009 Christmas number one. He hosts his own BAFTA nominated BBC1 series, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, and won the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-up in 2009 following his record breaking 54-date Arena tour.
But how did he get there? Michael reveals all and gives a hilarious performance in this audio edition of his remarkably honest autobiography. His showbiz roots, his appalling attempts to attract the opposite sex, his fish-out-of-water move from public to state school, and his astonishing journey from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to selling half a million tickets on his last tour - all are revealed. Michael's story is riveting, poignant, romantic, and above all, very, very funny.

"Michael McIntyre shares his life and family with us from childhood to present. He also shares with us his long arduous journey to stardom. I had no idea it was so difficult or structured in that way at all. An enjoyable read with doses of laughter throughout. Life and Laughing is a very apt title." — Christine (4 out of 5 stars)
