  • Michael McIntyre is great :j

    rich or poor. Celebrity or non celebrity, money makes the world go round which is why this site is so popular. There are sooooooooooo many things I wouldn't have known without this site and with so many people wanting to give each other advice for a simple 'thanks' its not suprising he is a fan. Also its so bloody addictive :rotfl:

    He should do a MSE stand-up show :p
  • I love Michael McIntyre. It's good to see that even the famous are being frugal. I remember one of those weekly magazines (think it's Closer) has a weekly snippet where a celeb tells us what their last 5 purchases were, and it's great when they say "Dress, £35 from Next" or something similar and we know they're like us. :)

    He did a series of MSE shows all free :D

    The Michael McIntyre Roadshow shown on BBC1 was filmed round the country back in May and tickets were free, it was a good show and he certainly knew that the good folk of Edinburgh appreciated a freebie ;)
  • I love Michael McIntyre, managed to save a few pennies buying his new dvd from Morrisons last week too, that's one present out of the way:)
  • I bought his latest DVD from Morrisons for £8 watched it and sold it on Amazon for £7.99.

    Loved it, very funny guy.
    For thousands of people this Christmas, their must-have gift is far more vital than the latest gadget or toy – it’s blood. Please don’t let the festivities and cold weather prevent you from giving them the ultimate gift… give blood.
  • Good on him, he's clearly a very sensible, astute fella.

    But I just don't find him very amusing - though am I the only one who thinks this? Certainly seems like it...... :(

    Is great hes a money saver :money:the more people spreading the word the better.

    Just as a shame hes not funny, if you take away the ridiculous pantomime arm waving and facial expressions and ear splitting random high voice his comedy is very dull.

    Which was fine, horses for course and all that, until they mixed him up with the comic genius that inhabits mock the week ....

    I suspect he was paid handsomely by the beeb and they picked up the cost of the tickets.
