When I went to one of his shows, he spent most of the first half of the show doing this, but his real genius is he still brings the audience members he has spoken too into jokes later in the show, he has an great recall, honed over many years.
I had the privilege of being targeted by Al at one of his shows 5 rows back! I thought I’d be safe there but man, I clearly underestimated his firing range. He got the whole audience to boo me twice because I worked in oil and gas. 😂
I got targeted by him on his tour last year too, albeit i was front row... and i tweeted him before hand asking him to annihilate my friend and I. He left it right to the end of the show, i was kinda gutted that he didn't pick on us. Then as requested, he made out my friend and I were in a gay relationship and took the piss out of my job (i own a web design company). He made out that all i made were gay websites for my "partner". A truly awesome night out. Probably the sixth time i've seen him live now, he never disappoints.
In the mid nineties I had long hair and was typically grungey (think nirvana Grohl) and the pub landlord more or less scrapped his planned set and spent 20 minutes tearing into me. He was calling me Pocahontas and was threatening to have a collection from the audience to pay for a needle and thread to sew up the rips in my jeans… it was both horrifying and brilliant.
Would love to see that if you have a link to a UA-cam clip. I watched the show he did in a small venue in Paris, and he was brilliant. Most of the smallish audience were ex-pats but there were some French there too.
The pub landlord is just a character. Al Murray is a very intelligent bloke that went to Oxford University. How fast he is with the audience interactions shows how clever he really is.
He has a fantastic memory and a razor sharp wit! A P.A. here is a Personal Assistant it encompases secretarial duties but might also include other duties. There's a trend these days to give impressive job titles usually the impressive title foesn't come with a matching psygrade. Team Member/Burger Flipper. It's like the roles of the hen and the pig on providing breakfast. The hen is "involved" laying the eggs. The pig is "dedicated" supplying the bacon and sausages.
There is a full show you can get on UA-cam. This’ll confirm his references back to the audience. Saw him live. I was next to be picked on when he stopped. Phew!
A PA is a Personal Assistant, normally to a CEO or very senior manager , Murray is fantastic live and he is a very sharp wit with great name retention. His show character The Pub Landlord, is the typical male chauvinist where in his mind, only men do important jobs. If you are coming to the UK in the summer , you’ll probably catch him live if you want. Just found you guys and enjoy your style. Subscribed now with “jangly” bell.
Equality for female brick-layers...there are less than 0.001% of the brick-layers in the world who are women. No wonder men are wearing frocks and calling themselves Daisy....women, get to work.
My wife was a P.A. (Personal Assistant) to Ron Kass at W.B. Records, Greek Street, west end of London. He was a nice enough bloke, his wife was Joan Collins. I worked for WEA Records and, believe this or not, I received a drink allowance every week! If memory serves me correct, it was one bottle of alcohol (Southern Comfort) and 12 (pints) bottles of beer (Newcastle Brown). Different times people, different times...
Hi I've been lucky enough to see him 5 time's and yes he always starts the show getting to know people and just being funny with them and he go on until his ready to move on, as you said he is such an intelligent man with a ridiculous memory and throughout an Evening with him he will constantly go back and forth to people's names in-between jokes that might be relevant to some of those people but he truly is a master at what he does and a really nice guy in true life.
Likewise 5 times. The most recent time I was near the front and he picked me out as the token old person by referring to me as "Pops" while he castigated some youngsters at the other end of the front row. Fortunately I got off lightly!
@@charlesward4314 lol I've always booked to be in the middle as you'll know that he doesn't go much further away from the crowd and I've been lucky, your a brave man sitting at the front 😊
@@22seanmurphy I think I was 3 or 4 rows back but the seats in front were unused so it seemed as though he had full line of sight to me. For some of his rants against "youth" he needs an older person as a reference point. I did not mind at all. My wide panicked as she though he would target her as well. We are going to Edinburgh in August so may catch him there for number 6.
Amy from French actually means "beloved" but it originates from Latin. Louise is actually the female/feminine Louis which means "famous warrior". Jen or Jennifer is the Celtic form of Guinevere of Welsh origin as "Gwenhwyer" meaning "white phantom". Jane is the French version of the old English "Jehanne" from the old French "Iohannes" from the Greek "Ἰωάννης" which in turn cones from Hebrew"יְהוֹחָנָן" meaning "Yahweh is merciful". Elizabeth from the Hebrew name Elisheva (aka the mother of John the Baptist). Interesting things names...
@@hyramhackenbacker3953 comedy or not sharing information is not wrong, so perhaps YOU ought to chill, why assume interesting posts are pointless? There was no reason for you to post this unless your trying to insult me, making out I don't have a sense of humour... So maybe you should consider why you did it? No-one else took issue with it.
The best example of this is his show at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London with a huge audience. Which he manipulates the entire audience into cooperation, picks out a large number of people sitting in the first four rows and gives them the treatment and keeps coming back to various ones throughout the show. Peter Kay has also had a show here when he replaced Michael Jackson who couldn't turn up due to dropping dead. You've seen clips from it "Misheard lyrics" when he pauses to sit down due to mock grief "he should have been on here". Also "Dealing with hecklers" amongst others.
❤Luv it…Important for Americans to understand that the British audience recognise that Al’s inhabiting the character based on the stereotype of a working class pub landlord, & the jokes are generally based on him expressing world views from a previous era e.g. women are secretaries or nurses…
By talking to the audience Al makes every show unique, Dara O'Brien does the same thing and Billy Connolly, even though he doesn't talk to individual audience members, goes on stage with six or seven subjects that he plans to talk about but no actual material so each of his shows are also unique.
Theres another episode somewhere where a group of guys in the audience were ready with increasingly ridiculous job titles, it was hilarious. By the way a PA is Personal Assistant, which is basically a personal secretary to someone of very senior level such as a CEO
The opening at the O2, Al Murray, awesome interaction with the audience, please react to that, maybe do the whole show and split it into 3 or 4 segments.
No shame in being a secretary. Al is pointing out how many women like to make a normal job seem important. (or like its hard work). Love it. (I am a secretary tbh...)
You have to remember that Al Murray's degree is in history and in history you have to remember names and dates etc. He will have learnt techniques to help him with this and he is only extending this into his work. I used to have a manager who also had a degree in history from Oxford and he would regularly quote dates and names in general conversation when a subject or date was brought up.
The show is to promote comedians and is shown on BBC 2. He would only have around a few moments to get this all in. They have a senior act like Al and then a couple of up and coming comedians. The show is called Live at the Apollo, which is filmed at the Apollo theatre in west London.
Al Murray “Pub Landlord “ is a alter ego , supposedly stereotyping middle aged men in the uk , he is the best History Teacher , but just bringing people down to earth and gentle Humour to embarrass the Audience, but what he’s doing is making you engage and basically give you a history lesson that’s it ! Class comedy and subject, got to watch his other shows “Why does everyone hate the English “ teams up with fellow comedians from around Europe, it is humorous but also makes some great points , basically a history lesson! Love this show , hope you guys enjoy your stay over in the UK , it’s a bit out of shape at the moment but , just Look through that , if you get time go the the City of Chester , steeped in history has a Roman wall which encircles it and you can walk on it , touch buildings up to si hundred years old , and obviously walk on the wall where people stood nearly 2000 years ago!! , keep this show rocking ❤️☝️☝️
Very enjoyable guys. You got it in a nutshell, with a certain aspect of Al repeating (slightly) his skits. I’m sure this is to get into an extension on his original material, & of course, he is reacting to his audience as we react to him, so in turn, Al has a memory of his skits & pulls them out when & where needed. I saw him last year, & he was fantastic. If you get to come over (UK), check out if Al is touring & try to see the show. All the very best guys.
A Document Controller is a professional who maintains organized and updated documents for a business using document management software, uploading or scanning paper documents, obtaining documents, and ensuring proper and secure storage.
Found your reviews first time today almost cried laughing at Al Murray and Peter Kay 2 of my favourites. I'm house bound and just wanted to say you both really brightened up my day. Keep going im sure you will lots of subscribers you seem a lovely couple God bless you both.
A document controller will look after version control of documents, managing updates to documents are on the correct version, and ensuring a version goes live on the agreed publication date.
He is highly qualified, oxbridge......cannot think which,.......tutor.........the landlord stuff is fictional.........it is a legit', comedy act.........
“Document Controller” is a very specific role in construction. You keep track of all drawings, specifications, technical documents, Requests For Information etc. to ensure that the the entire project team is working to the latest information. In essence, a glorified secretary.
Document Controller is a real job title. I dont know if other professions use them, but i know that law firms definitely use them. In those firms, they basically oversee the incoming and outgoing forms solicitors have requested for their clients, update templates, and manage the incoming and outgoing flow of documents between the firm and its clients 😊
No, it’s more schooling than a nurse. A physician’s assistant can prescribe medicine and see patients on their own like a doctor, but they must work in the same office as a doctor and they can’t do any surgeries. Someone commented earlier it’s like your nurse practitioner. It might be like that?
He does feed off his audience, especially the front row. No one sits in the front row for The Pub Landlord not knowing what to expect, including the beer shower.
Off to see Al in April 2024, can’t wait. I’m disabled & walk using a stick, but I’m not that old, so I’m hoping he’ll have some fun taking the piss out of me ❤😂
If you want to see this type of audience interaction perfected watch a Dara'o Briain concert.He does the same thing but at the end makes a whole story up using all the people he talked to. Brilliant
You do get some very high minded titles for jobs over here 😂: Sanitation inspection consultant, you empty the bins or do the washing-up. Document controller, you file paperwork. Rest and recuperation assistant, you make the tea. Senior office manager, you've been there a long time but your still a secretary. Duplication officer, you run the photocopier. Communications officer/supervisor/manager, you answer the phones and eMail... This is how shallow people are, and they get very defensive of their title in other situations.
Al is an Oxford University graduate in history and speaks German, French and some Italian. I understand one if his grandparents was Austrian. He apparently did a stand up show in France in French. You have to remember he is playing a role as a bigoted pub landlord. The stage name for this type of performance is schticke (a yiddish word - I hope spelt correctly) the word is same as stick in English but identifies the type of person he plays. Imagine Charlie Chaplin, an intelligent man who plays a part if a tramp.
PA in the UK is not Physicians Assistant but Personal Assistant. a Physicians Assistant here would be classed as a Nurse Practitioner. You got to admit though, he does get his point across!
What most comedians do this , they have spotters who ask the audience in the lobby with questions about themselves. What they say and do or have funny stories or job's these people are there to help various comedians out, with their routines. The first two row's of a theatre audience and the wing seat's boxes . And then hurd them, into the comedy routine, via the pre-talk spotters ask them questions, unknowingly giving these people, who then tell Al and they will be targeted by Al Murray and others with stuff and stories, to act upon . That Al has in his comedy routines before.. And by other comedians who do the same, called back-ups they will have to remember thirty or forty story with punchlines to add in on them audience members on that night Love mum
Awe I need that Chewbacca top! 😻 …..if you are coming to England this summer you could get me a small one and I could pay you in cash with the Queen’s head still on the notes and coins before King Charles replaces everything. So get yourselves to Manchester and I would be delighted to stay in my Apartment overlooking Bramhall Park. Just Google it and you’ll the stunning Tudor mansion around 500 years old. It’s got a really special feel when you walk around. So the offers there for you 😊Really enjoy your reactions in particular Peter Kay and Karl Pilkington who are both from this neck of the woods! Down to earth and friendly. Oh you gathered too I love anything Star Wars! It was the first film I saw as a little girl at the pictures! Julie x
Al Murray is a F**king G E N I U S! If I were in the front row and said my Real Job in the medical field, he'd have a field day with me, cos I'm a Bloke! I'm a Retired Medic, but now a "Professional Couch Potatoe", or as Al Murray would say .... A Secretary!
document controllers are real. On large engineering projects there will be thousands of documents and they need to be managed through a whole series of revisions.
Louise the name meaning you were born on a council estate.......is this true? 😂😂😂😂😂 oh boy thats so funny. Im going to see Al on Friday at the royal albert hall.
PA Over in uk is Personal Assistant. (Glorified Secretary)
Thank you!!
And in the US no idea why they don't get that.
@@123bwlch in the US, PA is a physician’s assistant. It’s higher than a nurse and slightly less education than a doctor. Nothing close to a secretary.
@@Jodi_BoringReviews Lived in the US for 15 years PA personal assistant didn''t notice your version before is that East coast/West coast thing ?
More than a glorified secretary. Usually have a secretary under them depending who the work for.

@@metal-potato you are daring asking him to call you out!! If we ever go to a show of his, I’ll be in the far back 😂.
Booo, work faster make it cheaper again 😇
I saw Al live last year and he spent the first 50 minutes doing this and just interacting with the audience. It’s was hilarious.
In the mid nineties I had long hair and was typically grungey (think nirvana Grohl) and the pub landlord more or less scrapped his planned set and spent 20 minutes tearing into me. He was calling me Pocahontas and was threatening to have a collection from the audience to pay for a needle and thread to sew up the rips in my jeans… it was both horrifying and brilliant.
Oh man!! I can only imagine.
One of the best audience interactions is with a French guy who argued with him and he had a complete conversation in French till the guy walked out

Forgetting about Seabiscuit is unforgivable 😉
Al Murray has a sitcom from the 2000’s “Time Gentlemen Please” it’s a bit loaded thou
If there’s one thing you’ll never witness… it will be Al Murray “coming out!”
' Post Offices ' went over your heads. He meant did he Rob them/ He looked the type. British Humour.

What most comedians do this , they have spotters who ask the audience in the lobby with questions about themselves. What they say and do or have funny stories or job's these people are there to help various comedians out, with their routines. The first two row's of a theatre audience and the wing seat's boxes . And then hurd them, into the comedy routine, via the pre-talk spotters ask them questions, unknowingly giving these people, who then tell Al and they will be targeted by Al Murray and others with stuff and stories, to act upon . That Al has in his comedy routines before.. And by other comedians who do the same, called back-ups they will have to remember thirty or forty story with punchlines to add in on them audience members on that night
Love mum
