MICHAEL McIntyre has fast become one of Britain’s favourite stand-up comedians, entertaining the masses through the satire of everyday life, appealing to people from every walk of life and it seems that the 2009 stand-up tour is no exception. Warmly welcomed by the crowd at the NIA he skipped onto the stage in his signature fashion (something which he described as ‘magnificent’ in last year’s tour) and began to show up the people in the front few rows who hadn’t found their seats, getting off to a cracking start. His new material is ever original and included a comic take on British behaviour under foreign sunshine and the male attitudes to nudity in the gym changing rooms, both of which were presented with his skilled technique of making the obvious and ordinary hilariously funny and causing us to laugh at ourselves almost as much as we laughed at him.
In tailoring the show for Birmingham, he delighted in the frequently noted fact that Birmingham has more canals than Venice and derived the concept of the ‘Broad Street walk’, poking gentle fun at the second city. However, the days of his intimate gigs are over and unless you’re quick enough to book a front row seat you’ll find yourself watching the screens for the majority of the evening. Despite a terrible impression of the Brummy accent (which he apologised for in his encore, respectively) he was warmly received and definitely well worth a watch.
