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