I was [at] a dinner
3 years ago, where the after dinner speaker was Michael Mackintyre.

This was just before he got famous.

Seems he ad-libs these things, because he tried to talk about the business of the attendees (900 grain traders), and couldn't think of a single funny thing to say. He resorted to spending a rather excruciating 20 minutes hurling abuse at the guest of honour, Michael Hessletine.

I was rather surprised that he very soon after went on to the success he did, because he was an unfunny cunt.

Next year was that dead pan Canadian, Stewart Francis. He wasn't much better, as he decided to go filthy, and spent his twenty minutes rolling out crude one liners which got a few polite chuckles, and a lot of tutting.
