Happy and glorious times coming to NZ
Yes folks the inimitable comic genius that is Michael McIntyre is returning to New Zealand for the most anticipated comedy gig of the year and we have a copy of his Happy And Glorious show on DVD up for grabs as the ideal precursor.
His new Happy And Glorious show, a declaration of feel-good intent with a cheeky nod to the British national anthem is almost sold out and that comes as no surprise.
Punters are still talking around the campfires about how the reigning monarch of the comedy mainstream, swept to this position by a tide of popular affection, produced brilliant comeback from a blooper during his last show here where he inadvertently said ‘‘here in Australia’’.
And how, after good natured chastisement from the audience, he proceeded to present a 10 minute ad-lib on how, because he speaks so fast, they had misheard him and he’d actually said ‘‘here and in Australia’’. Brilliant! Expect more of the same as his new show covers everything from Losing Weight, i-Pads, Children’s Medication, Phones, Injuries, Bed Time, Orthotics, Strangers, Airports, Supermarkets, Public Toilets, Restaurants, Women’s Tether Lines, Country Living, and Scottish Accents & Burglars.
Look out for some brilliant snippets on animals speaking English, Starbucks and an encore that includes coming full circle and relating something mentioned at the beginning of the show to the current topic.
The overarching focus is insistently domestic: his wife and two young sons feature a lot.
There are also lashings of self-preoccupation too, as he displays once again the capering wit and cantering physicality that have made him such an international attraction.
Witness pure comedy magic as you lock out the outside world and, for a couple of hours, bask in the side-splitting wit of the world’s favourite funnyman!
