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.

Completely enjoyed this amazing 'memoir'!!!
Laughed, cheered, and hoped for him though out...which strikes me as funny because we're already enjoying his immense success...we know he over-came. Loved it and well done, Michael!

I have enjoyed Michaels stand up for quite a while so definitely enjoyed his story. His voices/impressions are great and really add to the story (LOVE the big yin). His insecurities are fully described but he sees the humor as he reflects so their not to painful to the listener. If you enjoy his stand up you will enjoy this book

I always laugh with MM

I’ve found this book truly wonderful. While I drove in my car, I laughed so hard so many times that my eyes filled with tears. Other drivers gave me strange looks. I’m sure they thought I was upset, but that was very far from the truth. The part of you hiding in the bushes nearly caused me to crash into the car in front of me. All I can say is please write more books. Laughter is truly food for the soul. Thank you.

Didn’t Disappoint.
