Britain’s funniest pub landlord
Hey cool cats! Hot on the heels of a sell-out 138 date tour of these green and groovy isles, The Guv will be back, baby, with a brand-new stand-up show for 2026.
There’s no denying the world’s a mess daddio, but there is a glimmer of hope as the globe’s favourite Pub Landlord returns with his like-nobody-else Common Sense hot-takes for the masses, offering a much-needed truth tonic for these whacked out and troubled times.
With a barrel of laughs to pour from and a flower in his heart, Guv is all you need. And for the brave, bold, and plain straight crazy cats amongst you who want to be in on the action in the ‘Splash Zone’ book them quick and wear the damn ponchos!
★★★★★ "A supremely polished performer" – Mail on Sunday
★★★★ "Wickedly witty Stuff" – The Telegraph
"It remains one of the great joys in comedy to see the Pub Landlord befriend and belittle the front rows" – The Times
A great evening at a super venue. Would not hesitate to see Al or any other event at this venue.
Al Murray was his usual brilliant self. Using the audience was so good. Definitely worth going to see. Loved it. Venue of De Montford Hall was excellent - never been before and would certainly recommend it.
Enjoyed the entire evening being our first time at the Sheffield City Hall. The venue easily accessible for all and as easy to find. A shame about the Madri larger expensive and tasted awful. I was very surprised and happy to get the Splash Zone (added bonus). This occasion was booked for my husband 60th Birthday treat. Al Murray was hilarious from start to finish. I laughed that much my sides and face cheeks hurt by the end of the night. Thanks to all for a great evening.
Really enjoy Al Murray's humour and Guv Island is a really good show. The only problem was we found it difficult to hear everything he said. It's really frustrating to listen to a joke, then miss the punchline! I don't know why it happened; we've seen many comedians at this venue without any difficulty at all. One other issue is the bar was incredibly busy at the interval. OK, there were lots of people wanting a pint for the men and a white wine for the ladies, but we stood waiting and very few were coming away with anything. I can only conclude service was going at the speed of a glacier. Other bars looked even busier. We gave up as we ran out of time, since the interval wasn't 12 hours long. Maybe the selection of drinks on offer should be reduced to allow for a quicker service.
Went to see Al murray with "splash zone"tickets later realised he throws some beer about, picked on my son on the front row gave him a diet coke, lots of audience participation "family"and a few white wines for the ladies. Altogether a brilliant night everyone agreed in the car on the way home best night we have had
As ever another masterclass in comedy and history. A truly brilliant show, well put together and absolutely hillarious thought I might need oxygen at one point. Great show, great venue brilliant fun, just what is needed when the world is in a crazy place..
Ali Murray is so funny from start to finish, everyone appeared to enjoy the show even the people who he joked about no body took offence as it wasn't meant that way, Our tickets were reasonable price a good night was had by all I'm so happy as I have always wanted to go to one of his shows
1st half was ok but not great post interval performance was brilliant!
First time seeing this comedian some material old skool great audience interaction from him free crisps and beer and wine what more can I say 10/10
I enjoyed the first half, quite funny, but got bored with the same banter in the second half
