Michael Hazen James McIntyre (born 21 February 1976) is an English comedian, actor and presenter. In 2012, he was reported to be the highest-grossing comedian in the world.
In addition to stand-up, McIntyre has hosted his own BBC One comedy programme Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, has featured in three episodes of Live at the Apollo and, in 2011, was a judge on Britain's Got Talent. He currently presents his own Saturday night series Michael McIntyre's Big Show on BBC One.
McIntyre resides in Hampstead, London with his aromatherapist wife, Kitty, who is a daughter of actor Simon Ward and sister of actress Sophie Ward. The couple have two sons, Lucas and Oscar.
McIntyre's father, Ray Cameron, was a Canadian comedian who wrote for Kenny Everett's television shows. In 1993, McIntyre's father took his own life in Hollywood; his suicide was kept hidden from McIntyre for 17 years. His mother, Kati, is Hungarian. He is a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur. McIntyre is also a keen cricket fan and has appeared on Test Match Special to discuss the sport.
McIntyre's parentage means that he automatically qualifies as a triple British-Canadian-Hungarian citizen, due to the latter two countries granting automatic citizenship by descent, regardless of place of birth.
