BBC funny man Michael McIntyre has admitted that his jokes are in no way unique.

McIntyre told thelondonpaper that after an audience member asked what his unique selling point was, he couldn’t come up with a thing.

McIntyre said: “Someone in Chiswick shouted out, ‘What’s your unique selling point?’ It really troubled me.

“I went home and made some notes, I couldn’t come up with anything. She was absolutely right. I’m a little bit like everyone.”

He added: “In the early days, I’d test [my jokes] out on my sister. I really liked Woody Allen, so all my jokes were Jewish-based one-liners.

“After a while I found myself and it turns out I’m not a small Jewish man.”
