Comedian Michael McIntyre will celebrate 25 years of stand-up comedy with a special filming of his ‘Macnificent' show.
Coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year, Michael McIntyre’s 25th Year Stand-up Special (1 x 55’), made by Hungry McBear and filmed at the iconic London Palladium, will see the audience treated to a hilarious evening of Michael’s observations of everyday life, to mark this special milestone.
McIntyre says, “I’ve had an amazing 25 years since my first stand-up gig and the BBC have been such a huge part of that, giving me some wonderful stages on which to perform from Live at the Apollo, to Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show. Which is why it’s so befitting and such an honour to be celebrating this milestone with this stand-up special of all new jokes on BBC One and iPlayer.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC says, “Michael is a much loved Saturday night staple for so many and it is such a joy that he will be celebrating 25 years by bringing his new stand upright here on the BBC. It’s going to be a superb night with plenty of laughs!”
Dan Baldwin, Executive Producer and MD of Hungry McBear Media says, “Quite simply Michael McIntyre is one of the best stand-up comedians in the world. He sells out everywhere he goes, far and wide. He is synonymous with the best stand-up routines of all time. His brand new, smash-hit,‘Macnificent’ tour will be televised, for the very first time, on the BBC, for the British public! You will not want to miss it, as once again, Michael proves he’s one of the funniest people on the planet.”
