Michael Hazen James [=McIntyre=] (born 21 February 1976) is a hyperactive British standup comic focusing on observational humour. Also a frequent guest on {{Panel Game}}s and the host of his own GameShow, ''Series/TheWheel''. He is known for being subject to a dissonance between [[CriticalDissonance being popular in the general public but hated by many critics]] for being '[[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible too conventional]]' or 'too safe'. His best known routines are probably the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgUpDGAIdds Man Drawer]]", that time when [[https://youtu.be/o4_YL9QotBM the dentist couldn't get his tooth out]], his claim that [[https://youtu.be/YmwBw10RmLs skipping while swinging your arms]] gives you SuperSpeed at the expense of looking a bit stupid, and the revelation that [[https://youtu.be/F2hyB_Eg6q8 any word can be used by a posh person to mean drunk]]: "gazebo'd", "car parked".
