I have never seen anyone work the audience like Al Murray. It can’t be rigged up; too complicated. His entire routine revolves around his interaction with the people who come to watch him. Unique. Genius. Absolute genius.
He said in an interview that he has set jokes based on common jobs that help him get into the show but he often has to make stuff up on the spot because he always ends up picking people with complicated jobs 😂
Remember when i moved to the UK, one of the first comedians i saw here... no clue what to make of him. 5 minutes later he was one of my favs of all time lol.
Thanks so much to you two for introducing me to Al Murray. Known of him for many years, but somehow didn't think that "The Pub Landlord" was something I'd find amusing. How wrong could I be, I just LOVE this guy. So much so that I've just bought a ticket to see his 2024 show "Guv Island" in Birmingham next April (at the back of the auditorium though!). "Guv Island" presumably inspired by the show "Love Island" which you may or may not have in Canada - if not, Google it! Hopefully Guv Island will make its way on to RU-vid one day, and you can react to it!
Scouser someone from Liverpool, Geordie someone from Newcastle. I saw Al's show back in 2002 and he ended the act with a quiz, called Fact Hunt. He had the whole audience shouting 'Fact Hunt' repeatedly, until it clearly sounded like we were saying something else. Al found it amusing, the fact hunt.
I've seen most of those sections in other reactions. But that is the first time I've seen the whole show. I thank you for that. The beautiful thing is, you understood the intelligence & humour through the whole thing. Love you both.
We saw him live at Margate last year and he was superb - we were also impressed at how he effortlessly incorporated so many audience members into his act and remembered all their details throughout. A very clever and funny man.
As for the insults against, and between each country in the UK, most of us love it. We might even despise each other if we couldn't take the piss. It's just banter. We know when and how something is nasty.
Go to a championship, league 1 or League 2 game, people. Coz if you get the chance to go to Premiership game.. Go to a poorer club.. I am working class man, on minimum wage and the sh*t end of the Street is getting expensive.. Was that Spanks Millignox you were both humming to at the end. You guys need to review all the Q series and look at Hitler.. My part in his downfall and Mousellini.. My part in his downfall.. Spike Milligan was a true, 24 carat comedy geniuz
I know you've seen parts of this before but watching it in full gives you the context of his crowd interaction and makes everything worth watching again.
Hey B&L! Please check out the Dutch policemen on Harry Enfield if you get a chance it’s just a couple of quick sketches xxxx love your channel , I thought you looked Welsh Brad , like my Dad. I’m going too see Al Murray in February live I hope he doesn’t pick on me I’m going incognito 😮😂😅
I actually saw Al (no lie) today, but it wasn't a good time to talk to him. The circumstances weren't right. I mean you can't tell a comedian you think he's great and really funny when your in a Holocaust exhibit at the Imperial War Museum London.
Paddington Bear: a key part of my childhood! When Al Murray gave this performance two decades ago, my generation were still pretty young. So the Paddington gag was really fresh. Why? Well, imagine you're a little British kid in the late 1970s captivated by Paddington Bear's adventures. It becomes a defining bit of your childhood landscape. Forever! Al Murray's a bit of a comedic - and cultural - genius for detecting that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-epOwMn04BAs.html
Al Murray is quite funny but misinformed about the North of Britain, people from Liverpool called Scousers will never say that we are British or English because we are NOT. People from Newcastle called Gordie's will never say that they are British or English because they are NOT. Equally people from Birmingham called Brummies will never say they are British or English because they are NOT. We view ourselves as Britain's Viking and Saxon and also Scousers being of Welsh and Irish decent thus resulting in our Accent be distinctive.🏴🏴🇮🇪
I'm a minute in and Lucy is giving me Katherine Hepburn vibes with her accent! Usually, I rely on Bette Davis. North/East atlantic seaboard but not Maine or the exceptional Canada!
I now realise that Lucy is in fact, under the influence of the planet Jupiter, after a conversation with a chartered accountant called Nigel outside Tesco's in Basingstoke ...WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT! WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT, WHAT DID HE MEAN BY, WHAT DID HE MEAN BY, WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT?!
If you have to explain a well, you're already lost. Out humour polks us as the target for our stupidly our our past, thinking that anyone who was a lord or had a degree from a university was also intelligent, yet all our industrial inventions were made by working class people who understood how mechanical things worked! ie television, combustion engine, jet engines.
