Recently we have sold out tours for Russell Brand, Patrick Kielty, Paddy McGuinness, The Mighty Boosh and the enormously successful Little Britain written by and starring David Walliams and Matt Lucas.

The Fast Show, Shooting Stars and The League of Gentlemen transferred from television to become highly successful stage shows under our guidance and we promoted the Olympic medalist skaters Torvill & Dean on four world tours including the longest running show at the Wembley Arena.

PME also manages some of the foremost comedic writing and acting talent in the UK.

The company has had five West End hit plays: Gasping, Silly Cow, Slip of the Tongue (starring John Malkovich), Waiting for Godot, Smaller (Directed by Kathy Burke; Starring Dawn French and Alison Moyet) and the Laurence Olivier Award-winning Popcorn.

In May 2002, Phil Mcintyre Entertainment began to produce various hit musicals; ‘We Will Rock You’ opened in London’s West End; a musical collaboration, between Ben Elton, Robert De Niro, PME and the music group Queen. This was followed by a co-production of the Olivier winning show 'Our House'. In 2003 PME, in association with Arnold Stiefel, produced ‘Tonight’s The Night - the Rod Stewart Musical’. In 2005 PME produced ‘Acorn Antiques – The Musical!’ written by Victoria Wood and directed by Trevor Nunn.
