Multi award-winning AL MURRAY, THE PUB LANDLORD is to embark on a spring 2009 tour which will take in Birmingham’s NIA Academy on Tuesday 14 April 2009. Following the critical success of hit primetime ITV1 shows Al Murray’s Happy Hour and a second Audience With, Al Murray – The Pub Landlord’s Beautiful British Tour sees the comic visit some of the nation’s best known venues.
This will be THE GUV’s fourth national outing, with all three previous sell-out tours extended due to demand.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of a critically acclaimed second series of THE PUB LANDLORD’S British Comedy Award-winning primetime ITV1 chat show Al Murray’s Happy Hour (originally a series of 10 shows, the run was extended midway through to 13 by ITV). A prolific year has also seen AL: record his fourth live DVD at the London Palladium, selling over 190,000 copies; host a second Audience With, joining an elite club as one of only four comedians to have done this in the format’s 27 year history; and publish the Richard & Judy Book Club Award-winning The Pub Landlord’s Book of British Common Sense, a Sunday Times bestseller and the highest selling humour book by any comedian during 2007.
What the press has said recently about Al Murray, The Pub Landlord:
“The most consistently exciting live comedian in the land for years.”
Dominic Maxwell, The Times
“Actually deserves the tag genius.”
Ally Ross, The Sun
“No other comedian working on the live circuit in Britain today offers such a cast-iron guarantee of start-to-finish mirth. Murray is as quick-witted as his character is small-minded.”
Dominic Cavendish, The Daily Telegraph
