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, ... ...funny.
Extras : Al Murray voices a commentary over two particular portions of his routine. Mildy interesting.
Final Verdict : For stand-up, 7/10. He knows how to hold an audience, is genuinely witty (as his ad-libs attest), and isn't a flash in the pan. ... more

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 among the new-age comedians of today. Yes, there's jokes. Yes, there's the odd Anti-PC comment. But hey, it's funny.

AlMurray is here in his first live stand-up DVD. For anyone who has not seen the landlordlive I will fill you in on his main philosophies in life.
Men drink beer
Women drink wine (or a fruit based beverage)
The French are all scum
That's pretty much it! It's a simple life made all the more understandable once you've been drinking! This DVD shows Murray at the Playhouse theatre in London. Though you may be worried that it will all be scripted comedy (following the likes of The Office's Ricky Gervais) this comedian has a very different style.
For the first half of the act he talks to people in the audience "Hello guv what's your name?" No matter what they say the trademark response of "Beautiful British name" follows. This is funny but can become a bit repetitive at points. My personal favorite was when he asked one ...
Filmed during his sell out run at the Playhouse Theatre, the Pub Landlord philosophises on a wide range of topics.
