Publican. Politician. Other thing beginning with P. Philosopher, yeah, that. The nation's critically acclaimed bar-based Braveheart, Al Murray - The Pub Landlord embarks on a common sense campaign to re-Great Britain in his brand new show. We live in troubling times. Europe. The NHS. Whatever the hell is going on in the Middle East. Who knows where it will end? Watch the one man who will answer the call of destiny even though it's an unlisted number. 'A supremely polished performer' ***** (Mail on Sunday).

Hannah Ellis-Petersen, The Guardian, 4th August 2016Comedy is still king, but with less attendants
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is with us and this year, more than ever comedy is king. Yet, this year, more than ever, stand-up comedy rules supreme, and it's to be expected. Not only is the nation on the search for post-Brexit referendum, negative interest rates, pre-President Trump laughs, it's on the search for cheap laughs. That is, recession laughs, shows which are relatively cheap to stage.
