TICKETS will be available on the door for Al Murray, The Pub Landlord’s Barrel Of Fun extra tour date at the Grand Opera House, York, tonight, at 7.30pm.

He played a sold-out date there earlier in the tour, in June, and now the Guv’nor returns with more of his fulminating philosophy.

Outwardly, Murray’s Pub Landlord is the little Englander with the big ideas and the even bigger mouth, but that is before you step back and smell the irony.

“I really like the confusion, but some people admonish me for it. I’ve no idea why. You get people saying, ‘You do realise half your audience doesn’t get that it’s irony’, and I say, ‘You do realise that makes it a glorious practical joke’,” says Al.

“A lot of things the Pub Landlord says, you can sort of agree with, but then you start thinking about them, and you think, ‘Actually, I don’t agree with that’, but that’s why it’s reactionary. You react to it!”
