Perhaps it is an age thing. I find Michael McIntyre deeply unfunny, his humor being banal and childish. Staggering to think he was the highest earning comedian in the world in 2012, his tour grossing £21m!!
He describes himself as being a bit like Marmite. Brown (or more orange really) and a bit like shit? Of the Seasoned campaigners Lee Mack always good for a giggle, as is Sean Lock and Mickey Flanagan (in my humble opinion) however the up and coming comics of today (such as Jack Whithall have nothing new to say, it is too safe, and leaves me completely cold.

Michael McIntyre sort of reminds me of Mike Myers…. Another colossal comedian cunt…

Well, I’m back home after a tedious day of dealing with the ‘tards at the office. The lovely wife will be collecting her man’s pizza and garlic cheese bread on her way home from work (well trained is that lass) and while I wait, I stepped up to the plate and sampled some McIntyre on YT. I watched 3 different clips, so he had 3 chances to make me laugh. He failed to do so. Not even close to a chuckle. His delivery was OK and he presented his material with a certain degree of energy and gusto, but I found him to be absolutely banal. If comedy were a colour, his would be beige. Middle of the road, lowest common denominator, utterly obvious ‘observations’ with a complete lack of cutting edge or bite. A rather pointless addition to the entertainment landscape I have concluded. Now…..time for me to get stuck into that Sauv blanc. Welcome to the weekend!

Which leaves us with the huge puzzle. How does Macintyre earn £21million from one tour and becomes the highest earning comedian on the planet and he isn’t funny?
All those people need to be told urgently that he isn’t funny before they go to his next tour and sit there laughing again! Poor bastards.

Shite sells. The magnolia paint of comedians.
Love Sean Lock and Micky Flanagan but I’m from Lancashire and Lee Mack reminds me of too many pub smartarses.
