Michael McIntyre for BBC stand-up show

WENN

Michael McIntyre will appear on BBC One this summer in a new Saturday night entertainment show.

Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow will travel around Britain and feature the best in stand-up.

The host will aim to unearth new comedy talent as he visits prestigious and iconic venues in the UK.

In each episode, McIntyre will introduce a special guest headline act, plus three of the best stand-ups from the UK comedy circuit.

Last year, McIntyre's stand-up series Live At The Apollo replaced Friday Night With Jonathan Ross in the BBC One schedules.
