Everything you need to know about Michael McIntyre’s MAGNIFICENT tour at AO Arena

Dads, we do hope you kept your tickets in the 'man drawer'.

Danny Jones

British comedy legend Michael McIntyre is rolling back into Manchester this weekend for a double bill of his brand-new tour, MAGNIFICENT at the AO Arena.

Still one of the biggest names in UK comedy and always delivering a reliable and largely family-friendly performance (this being a 14+ show), he’s set to pack out the legendary Manc entertainment venue this Friday and Saturday.

Despite being a household name for the best part of two decades now, this latest show is actually his first stand-up tour in five years and has already received pretty solid reviews from the likes of Chorlte , so it’s great to see him back out on the circuit.

With all that in mind, we thought we’d provide those going along to either of his two Manchester shows with all the info you need.

Are there tickets left?

michael mcintyre manchester gig tickets

First off, if you’re still looking to grab tickets to see Michael McIntyre at Manchester’s AO Arena , although the Sunday is sold out there are still a fair few tickets left for the Friday, 22 March show.

With the cheapest tickets starting from just £34.50 and the closest seats going all the way up to £147.06, you can pretty much have your pick of the bunch.

As always, if you’re feeling like being a bit posh and treating yourself (you always deserve it, as far as we’re concerned), you can of course spring for the more premium hospitality packages like the Electric Lounge’s Champagne Experience. You can find the full gamut of tickets HERE .

Warm-up act and stage times for Michael McIntyre’s Manchester show

As for stage times, comedy shows at the AO Arena skew slightly earlier than the likes of your live music in Manchester but we can still let you know how long you can expect to be there.

Doors are set to open from 6pm on both nights but the jokes won’t start flying until 8pm, so you’ll have plenty of time to grab a drink, something to eat, nip to the loo etc.

With opening support act Jake Lambert — who has also turned with the likes of industry heavyweights Romesh Ranganathan and Jack Dee — set to take the stage for a 20-minute warm-up set at 8pm, McIntyre isn’t due on until 8:20pm, and his roughly 75-minute set will take you up to 22:10pm, so you should be out well before the venue’s curfew at 11pm.

How to get to the AO Arena and other travel info

The AO Arena is right in the heart of the city centre, so it’s fairly easy to get to.

The AO Arena is located within the Manchester Victoria Station complex in the city centre, on the corner of Trinity Way, Hunts Bank and Great Ducie Street. You can enter through the station (up the stairs), through the Trinity Way Tunnel, or from Hunts Bank.

By tram:  Also super straight-forward – hop off the tram at Manchester Victoria and you’re right by the stairs to the venue. It’s also a short walk from Exchange Square and Shudehill. Trams run directly to Victoria Station from Rochdale, Bury, Altrincham, East Didsbury and the Airport.

By train:  While Piccadilly is the city’s largest train station, plenty of trains do pass through Manchester Victoria. You can plan your journey through the  National Rail website .

Parking:  The postcode if you’re driving to the AO Arena is M3 1AR. There’s an on-site CitiPark car park with 958 spaces, which can be pre-booked  here . Bear in mind that Trinity Way is closed after concerts to allow gig-goers to leave safely, though cars are allowed out of the car park with directions from staff.

About the AO Arena

The AO Arena has a few strict policies to keep gig-goers safe, so make sure to check entry requirements carefully before you travel.

For example, only one small bag per person is allowed, and bags like backpacks, travel cases and laptop bags are not permitted inside the arena.

All bags are scanned on entry to check for prohibited items like laser pens, flares, projectiles, weapons, drugs and alcohol, and even selfie sticks.

  • Meg Thee Stallion announces massive Manc gig on Hot Girl Summer Tour – how to get tickets

We hope that should be everything you need to know ahead of Michael McIntyre’s two Manchester shows this weekend.

The veteran comic also recently had to postpone a show in Southampton after undergoing surgery at the start of the month, so we’re glad to hear he’s back fit, fighting and funny.

Also, if you’re looking for somewhere for a classy drink and a nice bite to eat, then the brand-new Mezz restaurant is the perfect spot for some pre-gig fun.

It’s almost time for tens of thousands of people to flock to the fields of Heaton Park for this year’s Parklife festival, which is bigger than ever in 2024.

The huge festival brings together the biggest names in dance, house, hip hop, grime and electronic music for two days of partying.

This year’s line-up is arguably its biggest yet, featuring headline performances from Doja Cat, Disclosure, Becky Hill and loads more.

And even with the incredible European debut of Fisher and Chris Lake’s Under Construction now pulled from the line-up , it’s still set to be Manchester’s biggest party of the year.

If you can believe it, it’s been  14 years since the first-ever Parklife was held  and since then it’s gone on to be not only a Manc music institution and rite of passage, but one of the most famous festivals around the world – we’re just lucky it happens to be right on our doorstep.

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about Parklife 2023, from who’s playing and where to how you’ll be getting there and back.

Parklife 2024 line-up

The city’s biggest music event has lined up huge names like Doja Cat, Disclosure and J Hus to perform over the weekend of 8 and 9 June.

Returning Parklife favourites Peggy Gou, Becky Hill, and Four Tet are also heading up the huge 2024 Parklife line-up.

The pop and R&B side of the line-up will be taken care of by names like Sugababes, Anne-Marie and Mahalia.

Also on the bill will be Kaytranada, Camelphat, Rudim3ntal, Nia Archives, Hybrid Minds, Patrick Topping, Barry Can’t Swim, Folamour, Dom Dolla, Casisdead, Wilkinson, Shy FX: Specials, Interplanetary Criminal, Sammy Virji b2b Interplanetary Criminal, Kenya Grace, ANOTR, PAWSA, TSHA, Girls Don’t Sync, Max Dean, Hedex, Bou, Uncle Waffles, Skream, Jyoty, Loco Dice, Sub Focus and loads more.

You can see the full line-up here .

Tickets for Parklife 2024

The good news if you’ve not yet booked your Parklife tickets is that there are still some available, whether you’re picking a day to go or want to take on the whole weekend.

And this year,  Parklife has reduced the price of tickets – a first for the industry and part of its commitment to keep festivals financially accessible.

Day tickets for either Saturday or Sunday cost £79.50 (plus booking fees), while weekend tickets are £135 plus fees.

You can check the latest availability here .

How much is a VIP upgrade and what does it get you?

Having done a fair few Parklife festivals now, we can confirm that the VIP upgrade is well worth the money.

You’ll get fast-track entry to the festival (no queues for you!), and access to a whole separate area of the festival to relax in.

The VIP area at Parklife has exclusive DJs, a street food market, cocktail and spritz bars, lockers, fast-track loos, a make-up artist and glitter station, and even a streetwear stall by Suzy Loves Milo.

It’s £35.50 to upgrade a day ticket to VIP, or £34.50 for weekend ticket-holders – again, check here to book yours.

  • Saturday 8 June : 12pm – 11pm
  • Sunday 9 June : 1pm – 11pm
  • Last entry into the festival is 5pm

Stage splits for Parklife 2024 headliners

It’s always the eternal question for festival-goers – how am I actually going to see all this amazing music and one weekend, and who’s going to clash this year?

Parklife has already confirmed the stage splits for its 2024 instalment, so we know exactly who’s going to be playing which stage.

Stage times aren’t out yet but usually drop a good few days before the festival – you can download the Parklife app ( here for Apple, here for Android) for all you need to know.

How to get to and from Parklife festival 2024

As Parklife is a non-camping festival, getting home at the end of the night is always a question people ask.

Organisers make it as straight-forward as possible for people to get back home after the stages wrap up in Heaton Park.

The fastest and easiest way to travel to and from Parklife is with the official Parklife Travel Pass, a partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester (Bee Network), Manchester City Council and Parklife, which allows you to travel on the direct Parklife Shuttle Bus and Metrolink service from Manchester City Centre.

Buses will operate back into Manchester from the early evening, until the site is clear, and fans should use the NORTH EXIT of the site for the bus departure point.

Tickets are just £5.50 per day.

Sensory-friendly clubbing in Manchester

Are you someone caught in that annoying middle ground of loving a boogie to some tunes but not being the biggest fan of the traditional night out in the usual club setting?

If so, we’ve got some good news for you: a brand new way of clubbing is coming to Salford Quays that is prioritising neurodivergent live music lovers whilst hoping to create a safe and fundamentally sensory-friendly night out.

Cleverly named ‘ Disco Neurotico ‘, the new series of club nights is created by founder Byron Vincent as well as author and fellow DJ, Stefan Mohamed, who are ensuring people’s mental health comes first.

Receiving funding from Arts Council England for this first run of research and development events across the UK in 2024, the first show of 2024 arrives at The Lowry this August.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Disco Neurotico (@disconeurotico)

The tagline for the event is, “Reimagining raves for the nervous and neurospicy” – now that’s the kind of motto we can get behind.

But what exactly does that look like? Well, it starts with something as simple as wearing whatever you want (even if that means your PJs or cosplaying as Corrie character) and goes on to involve everything from board games and consoles, a silent disco, a UV doodle wall, a calming ‘breakout’ space and more.

You can even pick which music you want to funnel into your headphones – the cornerstone of this sensory-friendly club night and increasingly popular sight at gigs and festivals in general – so whether you want to fully rave in your own headspace, groove out or just enjoy soothing sounds, it’s up to you.

However, there are also plenty of snacks and drinks, calming recovery rooms for anyone feeling overwhelmed, and they actually already recommend guests come in and take a pre-event venue tour to familiarise themselves with the surroundings, be that in person or virtually.

  • You can ‘run and rave’ as part of this new charity-driven social in Manchester city centre

Snow Patrol announce massive Manchester gig at Co-op Live next year

  • WHP announces huge opening party with rooftop rave and Jungle and Bonobo as headliners

Speaking on the concept, Vincent said: “I love the idea of clubs and festivals but as an autistic person with complex PTSD, I often struggle with the reality.

“So with the help of a fantastic neurodivergent team of artists, I’ve designed a lovely night with gaming and multiple music genres that’s kinder to sensitive little squirrels like myself.”

We love the idea of a properly inclusive, sensory-friendly club night with full safeguarding measures in place and the neurodivergent community firmly in mind. We sincerely hope this takes off.

Taking place on 31 August at the iconic Salford venue and running from 8pm until midnight, affordable tickets are just a tenner and general admission is just £12. You can find out all the information you need to know about the event and grab your Disco Neurotico Manchester tickets HERE .

Michael McIntyre at London’s O2 Arena: timings and everything you need to know

The British comedy giant’s ‘MACNIFICENT’ tour will grace the O2 for five nights this month

Liv Kelly

Whether you find him side-splittingly funny or you think his jokes never land, you gotta give Michael McIntyre some kudos for his absolutely stellar comedy career. He first cropped up as a guest on shows like Mock the Week and Live At The Apollo (I mean, which notable British comic didn’t?) but skyrocketed to fame throughout the late ’00s and was the high-grossing stand-up comedian in the world in 2012. 

You’ve probably caught at least a glimpse of one of hMcIntyre’s shows on the telly – think Comedy Roadshow , Michael McIntyre’s Big Show , and his latest venture, The Wheel . By now, he’s pretty comfortable headlining London ’s O2 – after surpassing a record 28 shows at the arena back in 2018, he is now a holder of the keys to the venue alongside the likes of Prince, Take That and One Direction.

Michael McIntyre’s MACNIFICENT tour is in London for five shows over the next week or so. Here’s everything you need to know about the gigs.

These are the dates the comedian will be filling the arena:

  • Saturday April 6

  • Saturday April 13
  • Sunday April 14

He’s also got two performances on May 10 and 11 at London’s OVO Arena Wembley. 

What time will he come on stage? 

McIntyre’s show should kick off at around 8pm, but as with all live performances, timings can be subject to change. 

What time do doors open? 

Doors open at the O2 at 6.30pm. 

Are there any tickets left for Michael McIntyre MACNIFICENT tour at London’s O2?

Michael McIntyre: Macnificent | Review of the comic's first stand-up tour in five years

Michael McIntyre: Macnificent

Review of the comic's first stand-up tour in five years

It’s been a long time since Michael McIntyre perfected his lucrative brand of exaggerated observational comedy. A pre-show video highlights reel tells us it’s been 15 years since that defining ‘man drawer’ routine – as well as highlighting just how little his dependable mainstream shtick has changed over the years. Only a 1999 clip from the Comedy Store, showing him in jeans and T-shirt that really don’t suit him, deviate from the winning formula.

Given that his audience always knows exactly what they will get, Macnificent safely offers more of the same, sometimes to the point of seeming like a self-parody. ‘Eyebrows, what’s all that about then?’ starts one routine.

Meanwhile, the segment about watching his son’s football match draws from exactly the same speech impediment well as his marvellous routine about having an anaesthetised mouth, post-dentist, from 2012’s Showtime. But with added, unsubtle, innuendo.

Relatability is McIntyre’s watchword, of course, and he remains the middle-class Everyman – even with far-from universal experiences such as fretting about whether he might not sell out all the 10,000-seat arenas on this tour, breakfasting at the same LA hotel as supermodels, and employing a devious gardener. But the obvious trappings of his success are tempered by more understandable insecurities about maintaining his dignity when the world – and his own stupidity – conspires against that.

And those stories are outliers. Mostly, his material is built on common ground, from gurgling stomachs to the too-easy tendency to reach for a bottle of wine at home to how yawns are infectious. Although not in his show, as he injects energy into the most trite observation. 

All is sold with the big, expressive gestures and the trademark purposeful striding. While sometimes this feels too practised, his physical comedy prowess is proved in a routine in which he lies on the floor recreating his ill-fated amorous advances towards his wife on his expensive yet impractical mattress, half of which is is firm, and half of which is soft.

Act-outs elevate even more mundane routines such as talking ‘about the breads of the world’ – a trite and rather obviously engineered conceit to get him to mimic Mexicans with their tortillas, Frenchmen with their baguettes, and Indians with their naan. No prizes for guessing which accent he doesn’t do.

Also in his favour are the florid descriptions with which he elevates the everyday, for example the term ‘piss-pot’ as a charming variation on ‘pisshead’.

While not being too troubled by having any grand vision, McIntyre does have a couple of underlying themes. 

Technology is the less interesting one, as he talks about  TikTok algorithms serving up a surfeit of boobs, addictive phone use and step-counting apps. Though his urgent stage pacing surely helps him hit the target every day on tour, this segment ends in a nicely non-PC line about the wearable tech.

He’s also updated the old musical hall gag about a speak-your-weight machine telling an overweight customer ‘one at a time, please’ for 21st Century technology in a self-deprecating bridge to talking about him trying to lose weight.

The other recurring strand is about British reserve, our unadventurous streak – our bread is the boring loaf – and our dislike of confrontation. A cynic might suggest McIntryre is the sliced white Mother’s Pride of comedy, but that would be harsh: the craftsmanship that goes into his work at least elevates him to a supermarket sourdough.

While nothing here will redefine anyone’s worldview, the material is timeless – as indeed is he, looking at least a full decade younger than his 47 years.

One exception is the routine about Covid, something audiences might already be tired of. But as McIntyre points out, given his career is built on talking about shared experiences – and since lockdown happened in the five years since his last tour – it seems germane to speak of it.

Indeed, he does highlight the ridiculous rigamarole of trying to dine out in the earliest days of restrictions being eased in a way that is cliche-free, very funny and strangely nostalgic.

This segment – indeed the whole show – concludes in a delightfully farcical anecdote about the time he caught Covid on his wife’s birthday, culminating in a hilariously humiliating image, brilliantly deflating the smugness of his stage demeanour. 

It’s a routine that’s almost worth the ticket price alone, even as some of the other segments feel like going through the motions – albeit with skill and craftsmanship.

Review: Michael McIntyre at Manchester's AO Arena

"He's more like an over-enthusiastic schoolboy who doesn't really mean to let the four letter words slip out"

I am astounded that there is a person in Britain who doesn't know who Michael McIntyre is. But after telling people I was going to see his new 'Macnificent' show, his first stand-up tour since 2018, I can confirm his name is not instantly recognisable.

This is no doubt due to his lack of swagger, of larger-than life braggadocio. He's not your run-of-the-mill comedian at all.

He's like the very funny friend you love to go for a drink with, the one you know will send you into fits of giggles sending himself up and impersonating the people around him, but never with a trace of malice. He's funny enough not to have to resort to putting people down.

Review: Liam Gallagher and John Squire mesmerise at O2 Apollo Manchester

The Manchester crowd seem especially happy to see him tonight, given his recent hospitalisation with kidney stones forced him to cancel two shows. Now all he needs to do is make them cry laughing.

Joking that he's always wanted to announce he'd 'lost a stone' but not in quite that way, he launches into a detailed description of what happened in the doctor's office, and an imagined, and most amusing, sequel in the bedroom.

He then moves on to the pleasures of wine drinking, the snobbery associated with it, and the lies we tell ourselves about that 'little splash' we've just drunk.

A collection of skits about the most humdrum things in life you can imagine - yawning, sleeping, farting, follows, all delivered with an impressive array of facial expressions.

Food and football are on the menu too, with a cleverly observed piece about different types of teenage boys on the football field for the parents in the audience.

There's an imaginative bit about the pandemic, which at first you worry might feel dated, but this is Michael after all, and he offers his own unique story involving pink balloons and featuring an irresistible dance around an Amazon delivery man.

Despite his recent health issue, he is certainly on form, positively fizzing with energy in fact.

He's a little sweary, but not in that aggressive, drunken way that most comedians tend to favour. He's more like an over-enthusiastic schoolboy who doesn't really mean to let the four letter words slip out.

There is no obvious highlight to the show, no one bit that really shines, and there are more satisfied smiles than split sides. But his audience gets what they expect, and all delivered in that reassuringly self-deprecating and endearingly silly way.
