Michael Mcintyre to serve up festive treat on BBC One this Christmas

Michael McIntyre is to return to BBC One over the festive season with a one-hour Christmas special of his Comedy Roadshow.

Michael says: "Having visited 12 of my favourite cities, I'm thrilled that my Comedy Roadshow is coming home for Christmas. It's such an honour for the show to be on Christmas Day and to be introducing some of the biggest names in comedy to entertain a turkey-filled nation slumped on their sofas!" 

Mark Linsey, Controller, Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC, says: "Who better to bring some Christmas cheer to BBC One viewers than Michael. He is such a favourite with our audiences and this show is bound to be a real festive treat." 

Michael McIntyre's Christmas Comedy Roadshow is an Open Mike Production, produced by Anthony Caveney and executive produced by Andrew Beint and Addison Cresswell. Karl Warner is the BBC's executive producer.
