Michael Macintyre is an English comedian. He is well famous around the U.K. He performs live shows such as "Live at the Apollo" which is an incredible show that I recommend, particularly for those Brit humour lovers. He also appeared in many BBC broadcasts such as "Does the Team Think? (BBC Radio 2), The Jon Richardson Show (BBC 6 Music) and The Chris Moyles Show (BBC Radio 1)."
Personally, I couldn't understand most of his jokes at first, but then, surprisingly, I started getting all that he was saying. It is a good way to practise your listening skills and also to learn new words (I've learnt LOADS of English expressions and ways of saying things!)
The comedy roadshow consists in many British comedians (sometimes with some Irish or American comedians too) led by Michael Mcintyre in a performance of around 45 minutes to an hour. The event is generally performed in the most famous theatres of the cities they go. Next year, he will perform shows at the M.E.N Arena in Manchester, the O2 Arena in London, the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham and many many others.
The reason why I've post this is because they speak incredibly fast and because they're not only from England. Unlike in the BBC, where you find the best British English in my opinion, the comedy roadshow includes people from all over Britain and Ireland. Not only are you going to see somebody from Manchester or Newcastle but also you're going to see many Irish or Scottish comedians, with a completely and unintelligible different accent from the one you are used to. Everybody in the same performance, changing accents, playing with words and cultural meanings, this is just AWESOME.
Here is one of the best shows in my opinion. Pay particular attention to a guy called Jason Manford, a Mancunian stand-up comedian. You'll definitely R.O.F.L ((roll on floor laughing))
