    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.

    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭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:

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,488 ✭✭✭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.

    And this is Patty trying to plug her leg razor into one of those ungodly Czechoslovakian outlets.

    As you can see, we never did get the hang of it.

    So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

    That guy looks like he has an important meeting to go to. No time for elephants.
