Al Murray - A Glass Of White Wine For The Lady (DVD)

Advantages: Hillarious, side splittingly funny at times
Disadvantages: Very similar to his previous shows

...Those familiar with Al Murray's pub landlord character will most likely have been won over by him already, and this DVD will surely reaffirm your love for the character and want very much to get in the next round from the landlords pub. This show is a cool refreshing pint of comedy fun. The show starts with Murray's routine of picking on the audience (in jest of course) about their profession, appearance, name and just about any comedy gold he can scrape from them and it is (without using the acronym "Lol") laugh out loud funny. Murray's quick wit and ability to think on his feet is astounding, he obviously must have some pre prepared jokes for this purpose but nevertheless he delivers them with snappy comic timing and confidence (gained through the shield of a comic character) with clever callbacks and memory that are also...

Advantages: Tastes amazing, not too expensive and it's alcohol!
Disadvantages: Drinking too much results in silly behaviour and possibly hangover next day!

...With Friday approaching I am looking forward to a glass of white wine. However, it won't be just any old wine?..oh no?.. it has to be a bottle of Nobilo White Cloud for me. The product ************* The brand I'm reviewing is Nobilo White Cloud white wine. I came across this purely by accident when it was on offer in my local off licence and for the last 4 years it's been my white wine of choice.

This is a medium-dry wine and is made from predominately well-ripened Gisborne Muller Thurgau and Muscat varieties. The wine is made in medium style allowing... Read review

Advantages: Traditional Comedy
Disadvantages: Traditional Comedy

...Al Murray is a love/hate kind of stand-up - his archetypal pub humour seems to appeal more to what the media would consider a generation that's past. I'm not so sure this is the case. This stand-up routine holds up with "comedy genii" of today, the Peter Kay's and Ricky Gervais' of the world, but is just more old-fashioned. To those who saw Time Gentleman Please, the underrated sitcom in which Murray played his Landlord character, his stand-up is a natural extension of this. The bigoted, patriotic and traditional pub landlord, standing up for all that is British. One of the strengths of the characters is that there is something ridiculously gay about Murray anyway. The fact we know this humour is tongue-in-cheek almost makes it acceptable to laugh at. As an old traditionalist (says a boy of 17), there's certainly room for this... Read review
