Michael McIntyre is currently the most popular comedian in Britain; his debut stand-up DVD was the fastest selling of all time, only to be eclipsed by his second, which sold over 1.4 million copies. With a joke on every page, his autobiography tells of his showbiz roots, his appalling attempts to attract the opposite sex, his fish-out-of water move from public to state school and how he went from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to over half a million on his last tour. He will be promoting the book, and a new series of his "Comedy Road Show" begins on Saturday nights on BBC1 from September. Also available in audio.
