No one would ever deny that it‘s good to have a
natter, but that Michael McIntyre could talk the hind legs off a lumbering central defender or two. His propensity for audience banter is such that it appears at first glance this relatively posh lad has barely any material to hand at all. Yet, his is a cunning act, sneaking his killer set-ups onto a speedily compliant crowd. He got himself a Perrier Newcomer nomination in 2003, and more plaudits could be on his way soon. If he could only stop talking for five minutes to hear them.
