I had a man in to sort out my central heating earlier this week and inevitably the subject turned to comedy. I asked him who his favourite was. “The little fella” he said. After a bit of guesswork it turned out the little fella was Michael McIntyre. As he tinkered with my boiler I told him that I couldn’t help noticing that he had an Irish accent. What about all those brilliant Irish comedians? He seemed to prefer McIntyre.
