Michael McIntyre's Comedy RoadshowOr... A Massive Swizz. Off the back of McIntyre's stratospheric rise – biggest selling stand-up DVD ever etc. – the trailers made out that this would be Michael McIntyre doing stand-up around the country. Now that seemed pretty implausible – who the hell's got six hours of material? (Unless Springsteen does stand-up?) But not once has the Beeb sold this as what it really is – Live At The Apollo on the road, or a moving vehicle for the agent Addison Cresswell's clients. Which is fine – there are some majorly good stand-ups on his books, including Jeff Green and Sean Lock. But to sell it as the McIntyre show, when he basically only MCs, kicking off each week with a little regional piss-taking, as all comperes must, is misleading. Why isn't The Daily Mail getting into a lather about this?
