Comedian Michael McIntyre has been making waves on Netflix lately with his side-splitting stand-up specials. With the new year just beginning, viewers are flocking to his latest special to kick off 2023 with a good laugh. McIntyre, who is 48 years old and also hosts shows like the Big Show and The Wheel, has been in the comedy game since 1999. In that time, he has achieved great success, including performing at the Royal Variety Performance three times and being named the highest-grossing stand-up comedian in the world in 2012.
His record-breaking tour of 71 UK dates, which drew in over 700,000 people, helped secure that title. Three years later, he toured with his Happy and Glorious show, which featured hilarious anecdotes about his sleeping wife, service station toilet trips, and waiters who don't carry pen and paper. Now, that show has been uploaded to Netflix, and fans have been quick to watch it, propelling it into the Top 10 charts on New Year's Day.
But while many may know McIntyre for his comedic talents, there is more to him than just his on-stage persona. For those curious about his personal life, we've gathered some details about his private life, including his famous in-laws.
McIntyre has been happily married to his wife, Kitty, for over 20 years. She is often the subject of his jokes and stories in his performances, and the two seem to have a strong and loving relationship. Kitty comes from a family with a bit of fame, as her father is actor Simon Ward and her sister is actress Sophie Ward. Sadly, Simon passed away in 2012, and McIntyre considers him to have been one of his closest friends.
Kitty, on the other hand, leads a more private life and works as an aromatherapist in London. She may not be in the spotlight like her famous relatives, but she certainly provides McIntyre with plenty of material for his jokes.
The couple has two sons, Lucas and Oscar, who are also frequently mentioned in McIntyre's routines. In one of his most famous gags, he talks about the struggles of putting his young sons to bed, saying that parents never love their children more than when they are unconscious but still breathing. He also jokes about his son's limited vocabulary, saying that if his next word is "passport," they are in serious trouble.
In terms of where they live, the McIntyre family resides in Hampstead, London, and also has a house in Wiltshire. In 2020, the comedian purchased a second home in London for a whopping £10 million, thanks to his soaring net worth. The eight-bedroom property boasts a swimming pool, a modern cinema, and even a spa to help him unwind after a workout in his gym.
With his Happy and Glorious special now streaming on Netflix, there is no doubt that McIntyre's popularity and success will continue to grow.
