Michael McIntyre's Big Show (also known as Michael McIntyre's Big Christmas Show) is a British variety and stand- up comedy television series, presented by English comedian, presenter and former Britain's Got Talent judge Michael McIntyre. The show was originally a one-off Christmas special in 2015, before the BBC announced that they had ordered a full series in 2016, which starting airing on the 16 April of that year, and concluded on 28 May 2016. The show features celebrity guests, musical performances, comedy sketches from McIntyre and comrades from the comedy realm. The series was well received by the public and BBC One renewed the show for a second series which began airing November 2016, concluding in a Christmas special, which was broadcast on Christmas Eve 2016.
The show has been commissioned for a third series to air in 2017, which will run for 6 episodes.
Each episode of Michael McIntyre's Big Show includes a game segment or an item involving a celebrity or an unexpecting member of the public.
The celebrities to appear in this segment include comedian, host and singer Alexander Armstrong, pop star Olly Murs, Welsh former footballer Robbie Savage, Italian dancer and Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli and Welsh One Show presenter Alex Jones.
In the second episode of the second series, McIntyre got a member of the audience up on the stage to play a game titled "Soap or Nope", where an audience member is shown a conveyor belt with actors and lookalikes travelling along it, for the audience viewer to guess whether they were from a soap or not. At the end of the segment, McIntyre introduced the audience member with her long- term pen pal and best friend from Australia, who she had never seen before: hence the fact that the audience member thought that her pen pal was a soap star, stating that she was "definitely soap".
