Publisher Description
The Sunday Times top 10 bestseller.
Laugh along with Michael McIntyre as he lifts the curtain on his life in his revealing autobiography. This audio edition is hilariously read by Michael himself.
Michael’s first book ended with his big break at the 2006 Royal Variety Performance. Waking up the next morning in the tiny rented flat he shared with his wife Kitty and their one-year-old son, he was beyond excited about the new glamorous world of show business. Unfortunately, he was also clueless . . .
In A Funny Life, Michael honestly and hilariously shares the highs and the lows of his rise to the top and desperate attempts to stay there. It’s all here, from his disastrous panel show appearances to his hit TV shows, from mistakenly thinking he’d be a good chat show host and talent judge, to finding fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams and becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the world. Along the way he opens his man drawer, narrowly avoids disaster when his trousers fall down in front of three policemen and learns the hard way why he should always listen to his wife.
Michael has had a silly life, a stressful life, sometimes a moving and touching life, but always A Funny Life.
Customer Reviews
An interesting and funny read
Really enjoyed this book, great that it’s read by Michael himself. It was interesting to learn a little on how the industry works and what really goes on in the heads of the people we see on TV. I had plenty of laughs listening to it and I’d say it’s definitely a cheery read.
Was a little hard to get into the first chapter but afterwards I felt like I wanted to continue listening all the time:)
Very funny
Very funny and emotional book, the ups and downs of a very funny comedian have to say it he sounds like a very nice guy also.
Worth every penny.
A fantastic audiobook. Much to the annoyance of my family I could not stop listening. This is not an attempt to make you laugh the whole way but a genuinely emotional, at times heartbreaking, story of Michael’s rollercoaster struggle to get to where he is today. No one could deny that he totally deserves his current success and long may it continue.
I read his first book and thought this might overlap or not live upto that. Neither occurred. It is brilliantly entertaining. I laughed, listened and at times cried. Buy it and enjoy.
