I saw Al Murray last night. See the photo!

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 · 25-11-2011 05:23PM

Not a lot happens in Bolton, does it!?

hooradiation · 25-11-2011 05:23PM

Well done on being an insignificant and unidentifiable smudge.

AnonoBoy · 25-11-2011 05:24PM

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.

sensibleken · 25-11-2011 05:24PM

You've mixed up facebook and boards havent you.

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

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.
