Summary
The Sunday Times top 10 bestseller.
Laugh along with Michael McIntyre as he lifts the curtain on his life in his revealing autobiography. This audio edition is hilariously read by Michael himself.
Michael’s first book ended with his big break at the 2006 Royal Variety Performance. Waking up the next morning in the tiny rented flat he shared with his wife Kitty and their one-year-old son, he was beyond excited about the new glamorous world of show business. Unfortunately, he was also clueless . . .
In A Funny Life, Michael honestly and hilariously shares the highs and the lows of his rise to the top and desperate attempts to stay there. It’s all here, from his disastrous panel show appearances to his hit TV shows, from mistakenly thinking he’d be a good chat show host and talent judge, to finding fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams and becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the world. Along the way he opens his man drawer, narrowly avoids disaster when his trousers fall down in front of three policemen and learns the hard way why he should always listen to his wife.
Michael has had a silly life, a stressful life, sometimes a moving and touching life, but always A Funny Life.

Love it
If you’re not a fan of Michael McIntyre this book will change that. Great audio book and even better that it’s read by the man himself.

Highly entertaining and a must listen audio book!
I have both a hardcover book and the audio book, but I would highly recommend going for the audio book and experiencing the life events and emotions through Michael McIntyre's voice.

Genuine and honest
I’ve loved listening to Michael read this, he is incredibly open and takes you on his journey of successes and failures. He is clearly appreciative of the opportunities he has had and the people he has worked with (apart from Simon Cowell :-). I relate to many of his experiences, with my husband since 20 years of age, a frozen shoulder and growing up loving Crystal Carrington - I know await the BAFTA and fortunes that this life brought him 🤣

Simply excellent
I enjoyed this audiobook from start to finish. Not only was it entertaining and very funny, but incredibly interesting and gave a wonderful insight into how Michael has made it to where he is.
The main focus of the book was Michaels relationship with his representative Addison Cresswell. He’s quite the character and Michael does a great job sharing his personality with the listener.
Well worth a listen!

Great listen
I loved this book, I laughed a lot and I cried a lot. It is a moving tribute to Addison and a love letter to his family all wrapped up in the hilarious stories that have been part of Michael McIntyre’s rise to fame. A must listen.

A great story - well put together and an incredibly easy to follow audible
For a very early morning commute this is great not too heavy - definitely some great humour, but also very heartfelt. Especially interesting from a personal perspective as we used to regularly see Michael in his compèring days in the comedy club at the back of a pub in Chiswick! The Starbucks routine was genius! Thanks Michael for a life of laughter!
