About this listen
The riveting, poignant and remarkably honest biography from Britain's biggest comedy star, Michael McIntyre, brought to you by Penguin.
His debut stand-up DVD, Live & Laughing, was the fastest selling of all time.
Now he hosts his own BAFTA nominated BBC1 series, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, and has won the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-up.
But how did he get there?
In his compelling autobiography, Michael McIntyre reveals all.
With deeply personal and captivating narration, Michael unveils his incredible journey: from his showbiz roots, to his appalling attempts to attract the opposite sex, to going from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to half a million at his last tour.
Written and narrated by Michael himself, Life and Laughing is the hilarious performance and life story from one of the country's most loved comics.

Brilliant and very touching.
Thoroughly loved listening to Michael’s book. There were so many times I laughed out loud. The moments Michael shared about his childhood and his parents were very moving, Excellent audiobook.

I’m happy I stuck it out -
As much as Michael McIntyre has had me laughing over the years, there were moments in the book I wanted to turn it off. The introduction being one of those moments.
I’m happy I didn’t. I’m also happy I chose the audible version,
(Even if he is not).
His stories of failure, struggle, heartbreaks and his relentless fight to make his dreams reality were -mostly- engaging and he has a way of drawing one in.
I don’t know if he actually thinks this way or if he just thinks it’s funny - and I will leave it to other readers to make their own call but would be remiss if I left a review without mentioning my disappointment (to say it gently) by moments of blatant misogyny, body & appearance shaming, and comments about members of the lgbtq2s community. There were times it was so tiring I almost turned it off but put it on 2.5
Speed instead.
His delivery is perfect, heartfelt and funny and just what I hoped for.
In the second half of the book I found myself really looking forward to pressing play and in the last chapter I had a lump in my throat cheering for this self described funny, somewhat loveable loser.
