ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL BRITISH TOUR AND DVD
Yes, after 15 years as the Little Englander loudmouth, Al Murray is still playing his part with as much aplomb as any
comedian currently working. And, for much of this enjoyably unacceptable two-hour set, he's beyond reproach. The way he
integrates the crowd into the show is awe-inspiring: “Where's the money?” he screams at a woman who works for RBS, weaving
her in and out of his tirade against “broken Britain”, a sad and sappy place with no sure sense of its own past or future.Dominic Maxwell,
The Times
After 15 years of refining his act, it's now in peak satirical condition. The Pub Landlord can pick out targets for his blinkered, chauvinist ire
with the finesse of a master marksman. A woman in the stalls who says she's an events co-ordinator? He shakes his head: "Secretary with a calendar." "Pottery?
That's for kids. Grow up!" he raves at another. He goes into an apoplexy at the mere mention of a "house-husband". "That's broken Britain right there. This country's ----ed!".....Few
other acts reach quite so comfortably inside the confused, wounded mindset of the modern Brit. As our economy founders, here's one national treasure to cherish. * * * * *
Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph
The hysterical little Englander is back spouting more faux xenophobic nonsense. He’s one of the few comedians who can actually pull it off in a venue of the size [O2].
Tim Arthur, Time Out
The Landlord, the bald, narrow-minded Little Englander who rails against all things that are ‘not normal’ (especially the French), is an electrifying live act. He captivates his audience with his peerless cocktail of chopped logic and
dazzling off-the-cuff improvisation. It is the best experience you may ever have in a pub.
