  • I’m back with another reaction video, I’ve had so many great recommendations from you all. I’ve really enjoyed Peter kay and Micky Flannagan, they’re absolutely hilarious, so I’m really looking forward to watching Al Murray vs Americans.
    Before I get started, a lot of you mentioned that I need to react to Lee Evans.. are there any particular videos you guys recommend as I have no idea where to start… let me know in the comments

    Al Murray has a degree from Cambridge in History... his actual breadth of knowledge is staggering. The Pub Landlord character allowed him to make his knowledge and quick wit accessible to those that weren't as knowledgeable but we carried along.
    He is a comedy legend and was lucky to see him live in a small comedy club as a mystery performer as he tried out new material... my wife and I were in bits and for some reason she put her hand up for being from an EU country.
    After the show he came up to her and made sure he hadn't upset her too much... she is very proud of the selfie

      @@ketarwalker6141 Al became a comedian because he could..........he actually went to Oxford, btw. The Oxford Revue is a famous group of gifted students who develop talents in entertainment whilst studying. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle (all Monty Python), Olivia Colman (The Crown), David Frost, Germaine Greer, Stephen Fry, Graeme Garden, Hugh Lawrie (House), Daniel Massey, and these are only the ones I can remember. They all came from this group. Where Al is different, like Hugh Lawrie and Stephen Fry et al, he can do comedy and uses his classic history degree too. He makes serious history programmes, producing and writing. So he is teaching history and keeping our interest in the past alive. You’re obviously woke.......your comment is crass and unnecessary.

      Well, yeah. Consider that he asks the audience member where they've come from and then does a whole routine on that.
      Like, if they'd said "Australia" instead, then he's probably got a whole other routine doing the same for Australia. And another one for France. And another one for Germany. Et cetera.
      Now, that's very clever indeed. Not just to have a ton of different routines all ready to go, but to pull out whichever one fits the audience member, so that it all seems genuinely off-the-cuff and makes his "pub landlord" character seem more believable.
      And he's actually got a degree from Oxford, and is extremely knowledgeable about world history. He's just playing the slightly racist opinionated drunken oaf for the comedy.

      He is in character of a uk pub landlord, his character is reflective of the sorts of discussions that happen between regulars an landlords in uk pubs. E.g. you may hear lengthy and heated debates over who the best electricity and gas providers are. This normally depends on how much the alcohol has been consumed.

      Thing about Billy Connolly is that if you go to see him live you come out in pain from laughing so much. Then you go home and folks ask, "How was it?" and you go, "Great! Never laughed so much in my life". Then of course they ask, "What did he say?" and you go, "Er... dunno, cant remember, something about wanking, and maybe a dwarf". Happens every time.

    But also incredibly bright. I have seen him twice now and the banter with the audience includes incredible memory for details, names, jobs, foibles etc. and he has no advance warning or information about the crowd.
    He recalled the first four rows at one gig - every person except one (my son) who he failed to ‘pick on’ and even then at the after-show book signing, he remembered where we were sitting and that he had not ‘selected’ him.
    And being a ‘student’ would have got him both barrels😂

    If you haven't seen them yet, there's a couple of comedy series that defined a generation. I think they're all on RUclips now. The first is Spaced, which was the series that launched Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright into orbit. The second is Black Books, about an incredibly bad-tempered, drunken Irish bookseller called Bernard Black, starring Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig. They're both outstanding. Of an era, but weathered well.

He’s got a degree in History from Oxford (clever lad, then) and is involved in historical programmes on TV as well as his comic skills. He’s a gifted narrator.
