Airdate: Michael McIntyre’s Big Show

UK variety series Michael McIntyre’s Big Show is to premiere on UKTV.

The series began in the UK in April and will screen on Sundays from mid-October.

Michael McIntyre’s Big Show is light entertainment that will make you laugh so hard it will make your face hurt. Premiering every Sunday on UKTV from 9.30pm, Michael McIntyre will take centre stage hosting a sparkling, contemporary show with performances and games as well as sharing his own rather unique take on life and everyday events.

Considered one of the world’s most popular comedians, Michael is loved by millions and capable of filling arenas night after night. His previous tour Showtime was the biggest selling comedy tour in the world in 2012, which included a record breaking ten night residency at the O2 in London matching pop superstar Rhianna’s 2011 record.

With his trademark wit, warmth, funny voice and floppy hair, Michael plays a special game throughout each episode titled Send To All. This sees Michael persuade celebrities to hand over their mobile phone so he can concoct a racy or embarrassing text which he then sends to all contacts. The funny part is receiving the replies from famous A list stars! Some of the celebs to try it out in series one include Ronan Keating, Spice Girl Geri Horner and Dragon’s Den entrepreneur, Peter Jones.

Featured artists performing on the show include Jess Glynn, Bryan Adams, James Morrison, Tinie Tempah and Rod Stewart plus popular acts with universal appeal, such as Cirque de Soleil and pop group, All Saints.

The genius of Michael McIntyre in this show is his unique rapport with everyone – this will be much in evidence in both the stand-up segments of the programme and the amusing games he plays with his Big Show audience.

Every Sunday at 9.30pm from October 16.
