Al Murray: The Pub Landlord Live - My Gaff, My Rules

The 'Pub Landlord' is definitely one of Britain's funniest comic creations of recent times. I've seen all of the 1st series and some of the 2nd series of 'Time Gentlemen Please' so i'm used to the character, but this is definitely the best i've seen him, in front of a live audience. On first viewing, i wasn't sure whether all the people he 'picked' on were plants, but after listening to the commentary track, Murray himself assures us that they were not. I would even go to say that this show is as funny, in it's own way, as Peter Kay's 'Live at the Albert Hall', thats just my opinion. Al Murray must have to really think on his feet when doing this show, remembering the people's names, reacting to their reactions when he asks a question, staying in character and to be funny as well!

Useualy I write a really good in depth review, but not today BACK OFF BRUSSELS! Al is probably England's most underrated comic and like Peter Kay and Dave Spikey, shows that rude words are not the only way to be funny (although Chubbs is still funny anyway) and his often dumb interpretations of stuff (esp. Germans) caused Vodka to go out of my nose! OK, I'm a bloke and even though its a pint for the fella, glass of white wine or a fruit cocktail for the lady, if James Bond can get away with drinking Vodka, so can I!

Also, I write this a few days before I'm off to see his new stage show here in beautiful London, so it just goes to prove how much i love this guys work.

PS Bring Time Gentleman Please onto DVD!

Absolutely brilliant stand up! Bet he wouldn't be able to do some of these jokes now without people becoming totally offended (wankers). Loved every second of this! How he builds his routine just from asking people in the audience questions is amazing.
