TOP UK comedian Michael McIntyre is set to return to the stage with his brand new hotly anticipated UK & Ireland Arena tour, ‘Happy & Glorious’ - including a string of South Coast dates.
He will play the Bournemouth International Centre for four nights, from Wednesday August 19- Saturday August 22.
Michael’s previous tour Showtime was the biggest selling comedy tour in the world in 2012, playing to over 640,000 people including a record-breaking ten-night residency at London’s O2 Arena matching the pop-superstar Rihanna’s 2011 record.
Michael has released three best-selling DVDs: 2008’s Live and Laughing, was the biggest selling UK debut stand-up DVD of its time, Hello Wembley, which in 2009 became the fastest-selling UK stand-up DVD of all time a record it still holds, and 2012’s Showtime, which beat its competitors to the Christmas Number One spot.
The past few years have been exceptional for the comedian. In 2013 he performed internationally; playing to sold out arenas in South Africa, Dubai, Norway, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
His show in Johannesburg was the largest ever comedy show in Africa and his Dubai shows won the Time Out Best Night Out Award.
More recent highlights have included hosting the prestigious The Royal Variety Performance on ITV1 for a second time, as well as hosting BBC1’s Michael McIntyre’s Very Christmassy Christmas Show on Christmas Day and Michael McIntyre’s Easter Night at the Coliseum on Easter Sunday. Michael will also be back on TV screens later this year with a brand new variety show for BBC1.
