All hail to the ale!
It’s the ‘Best of British’ Cur­tain-rais­er of Com­e­dy
AL MURRAY — THE PUB LANDLORD
Dow­nun­der

Is there any­one bet­ter qual­i­fied to keep the Lions ‘Barmy Army’ in line than award win­ning British come­di­an, AL MURRAY — THE PUB LANDLORD?

Described by the ‘Mail on Sun­day’ in the UK as “the very apex of LIVE British com­e­dy” — AL MURRAY arrives on June 22 to light­en the mood dur­ing the last 2 weeks of the Lions Tour includ­ing live shows in Christchurch, Welling­ton and Auck­land pri­or to the tests.

MUR­RAY’s ‘PUB LANDLORD’ is hailed as one of the most suc­cess­ful com­e­dy char­ac­ters to grace the stages of Britain win­ning the Per­ri­er Award at the Edin­burgh Fringe in 1999 and nom­i­na­tions for the OLIVIER AWARD for BEST LIVE ENTERTAINER in the Wes­t­end in 2000 and 2002.

THE PUB LANDORD has per­formed for the Queen, has his own TV series, and has com­plet­ed a num­ber of sell-out tours of the UK and sea­sons in the Wes­t­end of Lon­don.

Now he is head­ing dow­nun­der to pour a few pints for the lads and enter­tain audi­ences in New Zealand with his award win­ning brand of humour.

“The Land­lord in full flow is the apex of live British com­e­dy.” Mark Ware­ham, the mail on sun­day

“I laughed so much, lager came out of my nose.” Stephen Arm­strong, the sun­day times
