LANDLORD of Hope and Glory is the title of the next stand-up comedy show to be performed by Al Murray in his guise as the Pub Landlord.

The coronavirus pandemic called time on the original tour early this year, so Al has rescheduled it, planning to appear at St George’’s Hall in Bradford on October 11.

A spokesman said: “The year is 2020. The world stands on the brink. Turmoil is the norm. Questions have been asked and none answered.

“What we need is one man, to step forward, one man with all the answers. Well you’re in luck, ladies and gentlemen - he’s here and touring the nation.”

How much Al’s original set has had to be changed – as the world teetered over the brink with Covid-19 – can be discovered as the wickedly witty landlord holds fourth in a show boasting strong language and adult themes.

Born in the cellar behind the boxes of crisps, and swaddled in a damp promotional beer towel, the landlord –was born into a noble line of publicans.

A spokesman said: “He gives common sense solutions to common sense problems, all served with a pint for the fella and glass of white wine/fruit-based drink for the lady.

“As the years went by his audience outgrew the number of bar stalls in the gaff. The Guv started touring the country on his mission to re-Great Britain. Over the next 20 years he played to over a online million regulars, pulling perfectly poured pints on stages around the world.

“He also looks a lot like this other guy, with the same name, who makes documentaries, presents shows and definitely can’t change a barrel.”
