Michael McIntyre heads for Plymouth
It was the summer of 2012 that Plymouth was treated to a mammoth 6 night run of comedy genius from Michael McIntyre, but now we are very proud to announce, hot off the press, that the king of stand up comedy will return to Plymouth Pavilions this summer! Kicking off his hotly anticipated UK & Ireland tour Happy and Glorious in the city, Michael will head to the venue for 4 nights from Wednesday 12 to Saturday 15 August 2015.
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 Michael. 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.
Most recent highlights have included him making his debut as a chat show host on The Michael McIntyre’s Chat Show for BBC1. But now Michael is set to return to the stage in what promises to be his biggest and funniest tour yet.
Michael will be welcoming special guest Paul Tonkinson.
Dawn Sloggett, Marketing Manager at the venue said: “It’s now almost a ritual that Pavilions Pavilions attracts a world class comedian to its stage for a week long residency during the summer months, and we are so excited to be welcoming back the undisputed king of stand up, the nation’s favourite comedian Michael McIntyre to the city! Last time he visited us he sold out a massive 6 nights and tickets were like gold dust. We’re expecting a massive rush on Tuesday morning as comedy lovers secure their seats for one of the highlights of 2015!”
