Michael McIntyre has a Christmas No 1 stand-up DVD
Michael McIntyre has topped the Christmas stand-up DVD charts.
Chortle, 26th December 2015Like Newsjack, The Show What You Wrote is a comedy show made up of sketches sent in by listeners: a bit like a modern version of Week Ending, though the producers and performers (such as John Thomson, Shobna Gulati and Gavin Webster) are well established. It's only the writers who aren't. You can't tell though: the sketches, chosen from thousands that are sent in by listeners, are on a par with other Radio 4 shows. It's almost impossible to write good jokes for people you don't know already, and yet The Show What You Wrote has an audience that manages to do just that. I hope the writers go on to great things, like writing (better) jokes for Michael McIntyre, or maybe, for themselves.

The Sun, 17th November 2015Michael McIntyre review
The ability to make people laugh until the corners of their eyes moisten and their cheeks ache is a remarkable skill. Comedy is such a subjective thing; what may make me howl could leave you shrugging your shoulders. Which is why the performance of Michael McIntyre at the SSE Arena was all the more impressive. - and few will have left without that pain in their cheeks.
