Michael McIntyre: Showman (2020 TV Special) User Reviews

It had its moments

[Kingslaay · 7/10 · 14 November 2020]

I am a fan of Michael McIntyre and his brand of comedy. However this Netflix special of his is a bit hit and miss. His opening jokes were pretty flat about his wife and the floorboard creaks. His material was a lot better towards the end about items people could relate to and understand.

Didn't disappoint

There were a few moments that had my partner and myself in hysterics, particuarly when he was talking about his jumper. But it was definitely not as good as his previous shows.

Rush rush rush but ok

It's pretty funny but McIntyre talks over the laughter and applause as if hes trying to get through it as quickly.as possible. Just make it a 90minute special and it's be much better, more relaxed and not so rushed.

Decent but too much rehashing

If you like McIntyre you won't be dissapointing, though slightly vexed at too many rehashed jokes.

Brilliant

Absolutely amazing, the part about the dogs was the best! Highly recommended. Hadn't laughed so much in ages.

Hilarious...

Being familiar with Michael McIntyre, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch the 2020 stand-up comedy special, as I happened to stumble upon it whilst looking through the Netflix catalogue of stand-up comedy.

Michael McIntyre delivered a good show that ran for 62 minutes. The material and contents is good and definitely bound to ensure good laughs. I have to admit that I was genuinely and wholeheartedly entertained throughout the course of the show. He is good at setting up the jokes and delivers the punchline with a jab.

The "Michael McIntyre: Showman" show is filled with good laughs. And I especially enjoyed the Hong Kong and Internet parts of the show. They were simply hilarious, and had me laughing hard.

Michael McIntyre is very charismatic and has a great presence on the stage. He feels very natural and at home in the spotlight.

If you enjoy comedy, then "Michael McIntyre: Showman" is certainly a show that is well-worth sitting down to watch.

My rating of "Michael McIntyre: Showman" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

Adore everything about this.

I've watched it at least 10 times. Will watch it 10 more. Completely hysterical.

Mostly Funny

Few things of voiceover were irritating but then there were really good laughing moments too. Overall can't miss this. If he could have cut out some adult portions would have been better.

couldn't be funny if he tried

Michael McIntyre is the sort of comic your grandma might find amusing.

As for me, I just find him tedious, unfunny and childish.

His humour, such as it is, belongs in another age.

I often wonder how he manages to get an audience, but then I realise, in the same case as Peter Kay, there must be an awful lot of people who're desperate for some light relief (very light) in their miserable lives.

If you wanted classic stand-up comedy you'd be better off going for Les Dawson or Dave Allen, at least they were funny.

As for Mr. McIntyre, he'll probably keep on selling his dvd's to people who'll buy because they've seen him on tv, though how many would want to watch him more than once is a complete mystery.

Not great. Expected more.

[SimpleView1 · 2/10 · 10 November 2020]

Generally he is a good story teller and does well with voice modulation.

Issue is the jokes are mostly dull and not to level we expect including fair amount of naughty lines!! Normally he is very family friendly. Narrative is rushed and not smooth joining different parts. Didn't find many lines to laugh about.

Surely he will bounce back but not in this episode.

Totally unfunny
