Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow returned for an hour long Christmas special on 25 December 2011 at 10.30pm.

The programme won the Entertainment Award, but Michael lost out as presenter to Ant and Dec. 'Michael Mcintyre's Comedy Roadshow' has not been commercially released onto DVD on its own, however both series have been available to watch on demand on services such as Lovefilm and Netflix.

Michael's Stand up Segments from Series 1 were collected into a compilation and were included on his 'Hello Wembley DVD' as a special feature.

Michael's segments from Series 2 were also placed into a compilation which was included on its own DVD as a content exclusive to the 'Michael Mcintyre Stand Up Collection Boxset' which was released in 2010.
