Michael McIntyre Announces JET LAGGED AND JOLLY Australian Tour 2023

Performances begin in March.

Michael McIntyre returns with a brand-new show making mirth from the madness of the last few years. He is bringing Jet-Lagged and Jolly to Australia from March 2023.

Michael McIntyre 's spot-on observational comedy and trademark mastery of turning everyday situations into masterclasses of human exasperation have struck a chord with millions of fans.

To date, Michael's stand-up tours have sold over three million tickets. He currently holds the record of being the London The O2's biggest selling artist, ahead of Prince and Take That, after twenty-eight sold out shows. He has performed to sold out venues in over 20 countries.

In addition to stand-up, Michael presents Michael McIntyre 's Big Show on BBC One. With the sixth series starting later in the year, the show has been a huge triumph averaging over seven million viewers and winning Michael a BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance.

As well as hosting one of the biggest shows on television, Michael created the gameshow Michael McIntyre 's The Wheel, which spun onto our screens in 2020 and returns soon for a third series. The show has been nominated for both BAFTA and National Television Awards and Michael will be hosting a US version for NBC late this year.

His other TV accolades include; hosting the Royal Variety Performance twice, Michael McIntyre 's Comedy Roadshow, Michael McIntyre 's Easter Night At The Coliseum, Michael McIntyre 's Very Christmassy Christmas Show and as a judge on Britain's Got Talent.

Michael has released four best-selling DVDs by Universal Pictures (UK) - Live and Laughing in 2008, Hello Wembley in 2009 (which became the fastest-selling UK stand-up DVD of all time), 2012's Showtime and 2015's Happy & Glorious, both of which became Christmas DVD best-sellers. Collectively Michael has sold a staggering 3.5 million DVD's to date. He has also released his first Netflix Special in 2020; Showman.

His debut autobiography Life & Laughing was released in 2010 by Penguin Books. With hundreds of thousands of copies sold the book landed the coveted Christmas number one slot and became one of the best-selling non-fiction books that year.

Michael's 2019 tour of Australia and New Zealand sold out in 20 minutes so book early to see one of Britain's biggest comedy stars being Jet-Lagged and Jolly in 2023!

Michael McIntyre is back on stage with his brand new show MACNIFICENT! Much has happened in the five years since his last tour and Michael will be making mirth from the madness of it all.

His previous tours have sold over four million tickets and broken box-office records around the world.

Michael McIntyre’s spot-on observational comedy and trademark mastery of turning everyday situations into masterclasses of human exasperation have struck a chord with millions of fans.

To date, Michael's stand-up tours have sold over four million tickets, including a record-breaking twenty-eight sold out shows at London’s O2 for which he was awarded the keys to the venue.

Michael McIntyre and Jake Lambert are Giving Australia A Very Funny Night Out

by Paul Cashmere on June 13, 2023

It is incredible to think that one man can keep over 10,000 fans entertained for about two hours. Michael McIntyre is back in Australia and he is playing BIG venues. In Melbourne, it was the 14,000+ Rod Laver Arena last night (12 June 2023) and the show was sold out.

‘Sold Out’ is not something unfamiliar to a Michael McIntyre tour. In New Zealand he sold out two Wellingtons, a Hamilton and an Auckland. Both of his Rod Laver Arena Melbourne shows have sold out. Adelaide and Perth were Sold Out. Still to come, two Brisbanes, a Wollongong, a Newcastle and the first Sydney shows have Sold Out with some tickets left for Hobart and a second Sydney show.

A band playing these sized venues with multiple sell-out shows would be considered Rock Stars. McIntyre is truly a Rock Star of comedy (and quite frankly with thanks to a few years of lockdowns he has even started to look a bit like Elton John).

Michael’s current show reflects on those few lost years we had recently and the haircuts that were inspired from them. The story about ordering Room Service from a swanky Beverly Hills Hotel and discovering later he ordered from the pet food menu was very funny.

You get around 2 and a half hours with this ticket. Don’t miss Jake Lambert who opens the show with a very funny 30 minute show before Michael comes on. Jake is an epileptic apparently but I’ll leave it up to tell you why that is funny.

Michael McIntyre shows still to come:

13 June, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena (SOLD OUT) 15 and 16 June, Brisbane, Entertainment Centre (SOLD OUT) 18 June, Wollongong, Entertainment Centre (SOLD OUT) 20 June, Newcastle, Entertainment Centre (SOLD OUT) 21 and 22 June, Sydney, Qudos Arena (21st SOLD OUT) 24 June, Hobart, MyState Arena

Park your cynicism! Michael McIntyre is a super-relatable well-oiled joke machine

The everyman standup delivers substantial comic payloads by itemising the oddity of human behaviour. A successful formula his new tour continues to exploit

A ll the countries of the world have their own bread, runs one of Michael McIntyre’s routines in his new show Macnificent. But what does Britain have? The boring old loaf. And all the countries have their own cheese too, runs the follow-up. And which one is ours? Mild cheddar. That’s we Brits, according to our host: aren’t we all just so lovably, incorrigibly bland?

Well, speak for yourself, you may wish to respond: there are traffic islands that have spent less time than McIntyre in the middle of the road. But resistance is futile – or at least, self-defeating. You can sit there thinking of all the strong cheeses and characterful breads Britain produces, or you can be seduced by McIntyre’s entertaining generalisations (OK, maybe we are bland!) into having as much fun as many, many other people in his audience. Don’t overthink things. Park your cynicism. There’s fun to be had here.

And there has been for a remarkably long time. The 47-year-old screens a montage at the start of his show, of significant gigs since he first stepped on to the Comedy Store stage 24 years ago. It reminded me: this guy has been huge for ages. (He barely seems to have aged either, damn him.) This is a comic who struck, fairly early, on a formula that would yield colossal commercial success, and who has stuck with it since. Reader, let me reassure – or disappoint – you: that formula changes not one jot with Macnificent, McIntyre’s first standup tour since 2018 .

It includes, as ever, fantastic jokes and routines on almost parodically relatable subjects. You want 10 tight minutes on middle-aged wine-drinking? McIntyre is your man. Interested in a riff on yawning? McIntyre is here for you, itemising the oddity of this universal human behaviour, the comedy of failing to suppress it when in conversation, the incongruity of its seeming contagiousness. (“How do you catch tiredness?!”) Not for the first time, you marvel that such an ostensibly banal observation can feel so fresh, and deliver – in McIntyre’s expert hands – such a substantial comic payload.

But it does, as does a fine nugget of physical comedy about McIntyre and wife in the marital bed, regretting the purchase of a mattress that’s firm on one half and soft on the other. And a delightful routine about youth football, casting our host as a concerned dad on the sidelines while his angelic son is aggressed by overdeveloped 15-year-olds with abundant facial hair and testosterone to spare.

What you don’t get is any sense of the real McIntyre, the man behind the joke machine. McIntyre watchers will know he’s suffered a setback in recent months, with the prompt cancellation of the US edition of his gameshow The Wheel . If this is significant to him, if he has dreams of breaking America, how he feels about being a primetime superstar – you’ll find the answers to none of this in his stage act, which casts him as an everyman whose concerns are indistinguishable from yours and mine.

Isn’t that stretching things? The man’s (I’m guessing) a multimillionaire. But part of McIntyre’s genius is how his act neutralises class in this most class-conscious of countries. Most major mass-appeal comics are proudly working class ( Mo Gilligan , John Bishop, Micky Flanagan , Sarah Millican). Those who aren’t – such as Jack Whitehall – have to burlesque their own poshness for popular approval. But McIntyre seldom exaggerates or apologises for his privilege; indeed he rarely affords it the slightest significance. It’s there if you’re looking for it, but rendered irrelevant by the man’s superpower relatability, a personality so democratic as to completely override this or that mention of having a gardener or dining on gnocchi.

And so McIntyre’s Covid experiences, according to Macnificent at least, are the same as all our Covid experiences: cutting his family’s hair, cultivating an Amazon dependency. But even audiences developing an immunity by now to coronavirus comedy (myself among them) will be tickled by McIntyre’s novel take – in which a birthday party for his wife transmogrifies, via a Covid diagnosis for McIntyre himself, into a mortal threat to his whole family.

There are lesser routines in the show. The rude wordplay that ends act one is a bit effortful, and the section on his dieting hacks when on a trip to the US requires a greater measure of contrivance than the best of his work. Sometimes it’s too obvious that McIntyre isn’t just delivering a comedy routine, he’s drilling a new catchphrase for the merch. One of the least convincing gags of the evening, meanwhile, finds our host panicking, on the release of tickets for this tour, that he’s gone out of fashion and no one’s going to come. Give over, Michael! I wouldn’t bet against another 24 years of adulation: Macnificent finds the McIntyre machine as well-oiled as ever.
