Michael McIntyre

Overview

Michael McIntyre is undoubtedly one of Britain's most successful comedic exports. If you count yourself as one of the growing minority who have never heard of him, McIntyre is the kind of vivacious comedian who brings contagious joy to his work. He uses his comedy to connect with his audience in 'you get me' kind of way, rather than using it to address serious issues, lending his comedic style an easy going, light-heartedness. Combining understated, light humor with dynamic physicality and animated storytelling, he shies away from the realm of controversy or political comedy, cementing his reputation as the master of one-liners and simple, enjoyable stand-up. Witty jokes about day-to-day observations and relatable tales of family life shape his comedic sets, as he paces and prances, infecting his audience with insatiable energy.

This year, on October 19, McIntyre's wildly popular Happy & Glorious tour makes it's way to Auckland's Vector Arena, promising to be a characteristically buoyant evening of non-stop laughs. Expect his trademark self-deprecation and witty quips touching on domestic woes including among other things, raising children of the iPad generation and his wife's hilariously unromantic sleeping habits. This show will be the ultimate event for a family night out, or for those of you needing a bit of midweek comic relief, and is sure to have you walking out feeling happy and glorious.
