Michael McIntyre: Hello Wembley!, BBC One, preview

Michael Hogan's analyses the appeal of stand-up comedian Michael McIntyre.

Wearing a shirt the colour of a popular indigestion remedy, the comic struts nonstop, like a camp, patrolling android. At the same time he delivers observations that can induce violent laughing. He may not take risks, swear much or go out of his way to offend folks, but that doesn't mean he lacks originality or bite. McIntyre is everywhere at the moment and he does like to recycle material, so the fact that this show was recorded in 2009 means you may know the routines. But even on second or third viewing his bit on men who like to stand about nude in gym changing rooms is hilarious, as is his shopping-with-the-wife stuff and sign-language dancing.
