Michael McIntyre asks BBC to stop showing Comedy Roadshow reruns

Michael McIntyre has asked the BBC to stop showing his old clips in case the public begin to think that he has run out of jokes. 

The comedian, who has achieved a meteoric rise to fame in the past two years, has asked the corporation to stop reruns of his Comedy Roadshow – which has been shown three times already.

Talking to The Sun McIntyre said: "The re-running is unbelievable. The BBC repeat shows so much that people think I'm actually doing the show again.

"People come up to me saying 'When are you going to get some new material?'

"I say 'It was a repeat - it wasn't me doing it all again'."

McIntyre recently returned to the live stage in preparation for the forthcoming series of Comedy Roadshow at The Comedy Store.

The new Monday night shows will until 24th May and feature a number of guest comics including Pete Johansson, Mike Wilmot, Seann Walsh, John Gordillo, Ian Stone, Imran Yusuf and Doc Brown.
