A Funny Life: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

M ichael McIntyre’s Big World Tour, it’s called – and the does-what-it-says-on-the-tin title is characteristic. McIntyre has been delivering exactly what people expect of him for well over a decade, and does so again tonight, with a show that deviates not one iota from the established formula. Fair enough: no one who likes what he does will be disappointed. But nor will they be surprised, as the king of primetime dispatches another 85 minutes of perky observations about family life, smartphones and bad traffic. Life is sweets!

When Big Show first aired, he invited the show’s producer and his wife round, with their family, to watch. They were TV executive Dan Baldwin and Holly Willoughby. Michael was furious, then intrigued, when, as he and Dan sat glued to the screen, the others’ attention wandered. Holly and Kitty were discussing nail varnish; the kids were running riot. ‘But that was a lesson,’ he says. ‘That is how people watch TV. They’re having conversations, cooking, on their phones. I learned from it.’ Whatever, the loss of Addison was up there in terms of emotional impact. ‘I did wonder what I was going to do without him,’ he says. He references the funeral, and watching some of the biggest names in comedy file in. It highlighted the conveyor-belt nature of what Addison did. ‘You had the younger ones he was bringing through, like Josh Widdicombe and Kevin Bridges. He knew how far to push them. I didn’t always agree. I remember saying to Kevin, “Are you sure you should be playing big stadiums?” but Addison was sure, and he was right. He’d seen it all before.’

He mentions North Korea, only to cue a gag about his Asiatic looks. Elsewhere, with rare exceptions, he steers well clear of the culture wars’ contested territory. Instead – in an interminable central section – McIntyre jokes about driving. He starts drolly enough, miming the pelvic thrusts once required to adjust the driver’s seat position (“Often you’d overshag straight on to the steering wheel ...”), but the gears are soon grinding. The gags about how we use hazard warning lights to communicate (do we?) feel effortful. And by the time, 20 minutes later, he’s grumbling about letting other drivers in off slip roads, I felt like screaming for the next exit.
