I saw Al Murray last night. See the photo!

Batsy

Last night me and my mate went to see comedian Al Murray, the Pub Landlord, at the Albert Halls in Bolton town centre.

I've seen his shows many times on TV and on DVD but last night I went to see him in person.

And he was absolutely hilarious. The whole audience was in tears of laughter.

At the end of the show Al Murray asked the guy controlling the lights to put the lights back on so that he could take a photo of the audience from the stage and then put it on his facebook page for us to see.

On the photo you can see, at the very back of the audience (top centre in the photo) the man who controls the lighting. He is standing up. Just in front of him (slightly below and to the right of him in the photo) you can see a guy in a light blue short-sleeved shirt. And that's me! Immediately to my left (to the right as you look at it) is my mate that I was with.

I hope everyone in the audience doesn't start a thread about seeing Al Murray.

I do think he is good.

MoodeRator

Not a lot happens in Bolton, does it!?

hooradiation

Well done on being an insignificant and unidentifiable smudge.

AnonoBoy

At the start he was taking the piss out of loutish English folk and then slowly he lost the satirical edge and became that which he did parody.

You've mixed up facebook and boards havent you.

You do know the racist bigot Pub Landlord is just a character, right?

Who's Al Murray?

Alastair James Hay "Al" Murray (born 10 May 1968), is a British comedian best known for his stand-up persona, The Pub Landlord, a stereotypical xenophobic public house licensee. In 2003, he was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy. In 2007 he was voted the 16th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups and again in the updated 2010 list as the 25th greatest stand-up comic.



Murray was born in Stewkley, Buckinghamshire, the son of Lieutenant Colonel Ingram Bernard Hay Murray and Juliet Anne Thackeray Ritchie, through whom he is a great-great-great-grandson of English novelist William Makepeace Thackeray.

The OP must have had something to hide by not sitting on the front row to have Al Murray take the piss out of him.

I wonder what he's hiding?

All this time you've been going on about how overcrowded Britain is and I though you were talking complete rubbish, but it does actually look quite crowded in that photo.

seamus

So.....you have a photo of you at an Al Murray Gig, but without Al Murray. How utterly pointless.

danniemcq

OP have you ever been at any other gig ever?

are there threads for them too?

O' JEASUS - don't suggest it to him.
We will get one now every time he goes to mass! :pac:

Yahew

The whole audience looks ashamed. Like they were **** before the lights came up and have quickly put their hands together or onto their knees, grinning inanely.

I am looking, in particular, at the entire front row. W8nkers the lot of em.

Yahew

To be fair, it was probably a crap show.

Bolton's so far north, that they could only find a few people who could understand his southern England accent.

Bless, I remember the days sitting on those steps just opposite the Woolworths there.
Having an afternoon off before wandering into work on Bradshawgate st.

Reminds me of this!

If you look at the back there is also a guy with a short sleeved blue shirt!
