This is a comedy show by Hungry Bear Media starring comedian Michael McIntyre where he entertains a crowd of people with his brand of comedy. It was originally a one-off (much like with Take Off with Bradley and Holly which I reviewed prior) before getting a full series commission by the BBC.
The show seems like a great idea on paper - family fun with a stand-up comedian, but the main problem is that it features the exact same problems comedians like McIntyre have with their programmes - too many pop-culture references, "hip with the modern age" humour involving phones, social media and anything trendy, and so fourth.
There are also many ridiculous skits. One of them involves McIntyre coming into a random audience member's house while they sleep and forces them to play a game show. Another involves McIntyre sending a text message on a celebrity's phone that he stole for the sake of the joke, and there's also the generic "Music performance" and "other comedian you've seen on every other show already" segments as well.
The only segment I would say is decent is... the soap one? Yeah, it exists.
Overall, this is just the typical rubbish you see from Hungry Bear Media, and I'm not done with them, yet. It did have a recent hiatus due to the pandemic which led to Michael McIntyre to create The Wheel (which Warner Bros. Has now localised), which is fine, I guess. Could the reboot be as worse as the original Big Show? Who knows, but maybe.
