The Big Interview: Al Murray

The Pub Landlord character started out as a caricature, but one that people might recognise. "The idea was that he's the kind of person you meet when you walk into a pub you've never been in before and he just starts on you verbally."

Chris Bond, The Yorkshire Post, 5th December 2011

Skilful subversion or laboured, one-note jingoism? Al Murray's pub landlord character is one of British comedy's more divisive figures, with suspicions that the sharp irony of the act's early days has given way to boorish, catchphrase-spouting inanity. Regardless, Murray remains massively popular. This live show, recorded at London's Hammersmith Apollo, is taken from his recent Barrel Of Fun tour, which attracted 200,000 punters across the UK. Here, Murray sticks to safe, crowd-pleasing fare, including skits on the pope, ginger folk and squirrels.
