BBC to air Michael McIntyre's stand-up special
Michael McIntyre is recording his latest tour for BBC One to celebrate his 25 years as a stand-up.
His show Macnificent will be taped at the London Palladium next month and will air as a 55-minute special before the end of the year.
McIntyre said: ‘I’ve had an amazing 25 years since my first stand-up gig and the BBC have been such a huge part of that, giving me some wonderful stages on which to perform… which is why it’s so befitting and such an honour to be celebrating this milestone with this stand-up special of all new jokes on BBC One and iPlayer.’
The show is being made by Hungry McBear Media, the company he owns with producer Dan Baldwin and accountant Richard Paul.
Baldwin, who will executive produce the special, said: ‘Quite simply Michael McIntyre is one of the best stand-up comedians in the world. He sells out everywhere he goes, far and wide. He is synonymous with the best stand-up routines of all time.’
Applications for free tickets to attend the recording are available now via Applause Store.
