I was lucky enough to be on the front row for one of his gigs, I'm also a soldier so I got the expected level of abuse at the start of the show. The best thing was, half way through the show, a good 30-40 minutes in, he spoke to a guy in the balcony who when asked what his job was, said he was a sniper. Al didn't miss a beat and told him a sniper wouldn't of given his position away then called on me by name to confirm he was talking shit. It isn't just how quick he is, its that he remembers every bit of information the crowd gives him and comes back to them at the perfect moment. 1 guy after the show actually asked me if I had been planted there by Al. Nope, mans just a legend.

[@papamurrth1]

He's a legit genius, his lectures are really good. Makes his character even better

[@adrianmcgachie]

Brilliant!

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

Great comment/story.

[@terrytt5067]

I'm Ex RAF and part of being in the Air force is being able to accept the piss being taken out of you from the Army & Navy personnel! Harmless banter, like what Al Murray dishes out! Absolutely love the man's S.O.H. And Bring Back National Service. It will sort out many problems in the U.K. and give A.M. some ammunition for future piss-taking.

[@jimherbert007]

100%. I saw him in Winchester in 2019 and he recognised a young lad from 2 years before and started riffing on the jokes he had told him then!

[@BenWKnowles]

Have been in the front row of his gigs a couple of times - no extra charge for it and it’s hilarious. The entire first half was just chatting to the audience like this, no pre-scripted material until the second half and even then he linked back to those of us he’d talked to! The man’s memory is immense

[@robertstrong6798]

As we all know he is a history teacher , he issued to remembering peoples names etc that’s part of why he is so good. Teacher and comedy 🎭 seems to mix well 😂

[@paulwalton1222]

[@williamwilkes9873]

You seem to suss UK humour pretty easily.........many don't!

[@davidwatts-hw2dh]

Al is an English/British gem. The thing is, you can watch the same show many times and just laugh and laugh. The Brits will and can and 'take the piss out of each other' all the time. It keeps our feet on the ground all the time.

[@tony1kenobi929]

Saw Al Murray live last year, front row tickets were extra expensive as the money for them was going to charity, don't know if that was a one off or the norm for his shows. I was amazed not only at how great his audience participation was but how he remembered everyone's names/jobs and kept coming back to them throughout the show. Best comedian I've seen live to date, in tears most of the show, absolute legend

[@ianplatt1375]

I had a personal front row seat with Al Murray he was in the back as a london cabbie I was driving him home from the london studios to west london he was very quiet until the last part of journey when we saw a cyclest with planks of wood on his bike what a personal laugh with a comedy legend

[@simontay4851]

Ive cycled with pieces of wood on my bike before. I zip tie them to the cross bar.

[@dogstaraycliffe]

I saw Al last October & spent large parts of the show hardly able to breathe properly because I was laughing so much, he really is superb at the audience interaction.

[@tonygriffin_]

The O2 Arena holds up to 20,000 but when I saw him live it was in a small club with about 500 people there. That was in 2002 and he's still touring, with shows on at the moment. He finished his set back in 2002 with a quiz game, called Fact Hunt...which sounds tame until Al asked us all to shout out 'Fact Hunt' repeatedly, until it sounded like we were all shouting...well, something else at him!

[@777petew]

Boomer, kudos to you for getting this humour. You're an honorary Brit.

[@garybolan9170]

Thank you so much buddy for appreciating the man, I am really impressed that you understand the Brit humour and i don’t mean any disrespect. I enjoyed watching you as much as Al, take care mate 👍

[@rogercrawford772]

I've seen him live, I left the theatre with stomach ache from laughing so much. Yes he is a very clever guy and very patriotic.

[@NorseOkies]

You seeing Al Murray live without the ability to pause the show would kill you.

[@sprinterofficial8457]

Well it’s a KZbin reaction so he has to pause it or it’s basically a reupload of someone else’s video

[@Turn1t0ff]

​@@sprinterofficial8457 that's not what he was saying at all. He meant that being in the audience at a live show, not being able to take a break from laughing (unlike when watching a video) would kill Boomer.

[@10thdoctor15]

"What do you do between meals... for a living?"

[@watchreadplayretro]

"Blue & Striped Shirt, it's like a barcode innit... like a barcode... Boop! - 'Twat!'" Pausing here to catch a breath from laughing!

[@bobanob1967]

His show reminds me when back in the 80's I saw Eric Sykes and Jimmy Edwards do a 2 mans show very similar to Al Murray. About 2 minutes into the show a couple arrived to take their seats. The pair noticed this,looked at each other then started the show again word for word. The audience laughed then settled again. Three minutes later another couple crept in to take their seats. Eric and Jimmy stop, look at each other, look at the audience, wait a beat then everyone bursts out laughing guessing what might happen. The hapless couple have no idea why they are the butt of so much laughter. Genius.

[@JamBar1873]

Saw Al in Glasgow in 2006. Some poor bloke in the front row was a male nurse. Al got all of us to stand up and point at him, while shouting ‘Shame on you’ at the guy. He was nearly in tears!!

[@SimonKennedy-ct7bo]

For a laugh hopefully I'm sure 😮

[@bobblehat6603]

Would they have shamed a doctor in a similar manner? A study, made in the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield and reported in the medical journal The Lancet, found nurses made fewer serious clinical errors than doctors, were better at recording medical histories, and patients treated by them were less likely to need follow-up advice.

[@robertswann1052]

​@@bobblehat6603I'm a Doctor of Respiratory Physiology. I wholly respect our nurses and the work they do. But it's us Doctors who make the big decisions.

[@shanefoy3720]

A male nurse in Glasgow sounds fishy to me 😂😂😂😂

[@samo5857]

Brilliant 😂😂😂

[@insidiousbeatz48]

Most of his shows begin like this mate. Unfortunately you've only experienced tiny snippets previously which didn't give you anywhere near his best. I've seen this whole set its amazing. You should try and get the other 2 parts. 👍❤️

[@juliandale50]

He has a fantastic knowledge of military history, did a great series about WW2 😊😊

[@krowbar2009]

When you watch comedians they sometimes can control a room Our man can hold crowds with skill. He has every single comeback in his back pocket and its as if its part of his show. His altar ego The barman is so good.

[@tom080955]

I love the bit of him vs the joy boys and him vs shrek n Fiona! Totally funny

[@davidriley1188]

My all-time favourite Al Murray routine is the "Secretary" sketch.....it's his trade-mark interaction with the front row....a "must see" for all lovers of the Pub Landlord....you will not be disappointed !

[@ManxAndy]

His memory for names of those on the front row that he roasts , is incredible, given that it’s different names every night…..he goes back to them sometimes 20 mins later and still remembers everyone……👍👌🇮🇲

[@stepney56]

His knowledge of Military History is amazing.Had many tv specials on WW2.

[@celticguy197531]

I seen him live in my town, phoning up China to ask for 3billion bullets and them asking why lol

[@peterbackhouse8650]

The tickets should come with a warning, "no one's safe" 😂

[@jondavis2727]

You are completely correct, Al Murray is a genius comedian.. I think the great British comedians you have reacted to should invite you over to publicly react to their shows !! You & the queen are by far the best reactors .. love wathing you both 😁😁👍👍👍

[@domgarwell5581]

He's doing a 2024 tour... If you're lucky enough to get seats near the front you'll be a sitting duck 😂 he'll rag on you as soon as you tell him you're American...

[@danieljameshustler]

Al Murray is the cream of the crop in the comedy scene! He’s top of my list! The blokes a genius and a genuine decent bloke outside of playing his pub landlord character. Genius of a man!

[@petermorgan4720]

Fantastic video. Very funny guy. ...#kingboomer For reference, 118'dia is reference to the old English 'Directory Enquiries' line (to get phone numbers) + the fact that such call centres are now based in India. And the Peru + bear reference relates to Paddington Bear coming from 'deepest, darkest Peru'. Keep making these great reaction videos!! Utterly enjoy them.

[@alan-]

Nice. Glad you're doing an Al Murray that includes the introduction. Usually you have to0 watch a full show (and there are many on youtube) to see the intros. The intros are often the best of his performance.

[@markdermody9698]

I loved Jim Davidson when I saw his live 'Pantomime Show' titled 'Sinderella' especially as there was a lot of emphasis on the 'Sin' part of the title. It was a truly spectacular show and absolutely hilarious with it. If you can manage to find a copy of the Live Show online, it is well worth watching as both myself and the female friend I went with loved every second of it, we were both in stitches throughout the show, so much so that I had jaw ache by the end of the show! The other Live Stand Up Show I have seen was 'Hale And Pace' with whom I had a reasonable amount of direct interaction back and forth! Norman Pace being a local as he came from Newark in Nottinghamshire and the show being held in Nottingham City Centre knew exactly how to get a reaction from the crowd, and seeing as I was very quick with a retort and despite only being in the 2nd row, I managed to have more interaction with them than anyone else that night. There is a very big rivalry between the people of Nottingham and Derby, in particular, their 2 major Football Teams as in Nottingham Forest (The Greatest) & Derby County (The Rams) or in Notts better known as the Sheep Shaggers! But this particular night, when they were portraying their characters called 'The Management' Norman Pace said about Nottingham Football Fans liking Sheep, to which I shouted out straight away, "No Mate, That the Derby County Fans, they are the Sheep Shaggers!" To which Norm Pace came over to me and asked what I said so I repeated myself and he said it out loud to which almost the whole of the audience erupted in cheering and baaing, just like sheep do! He then asked how I knew and I replied "Cos they wear woolly underwear!" To which everyone around me burst out into hysterics! That was a very funny night too, which we thoroughly enjoyed as it was particularly special seeing as I was about the only person to get any direct interaction with them, especially seeing as their characters are more aloof than Al Murray's Pub Landlord, as I said, they were 'De Management' so to manage to get a couple of spells of direct interaction, I was particularly fortunate! 😉😂🤣

[@stevelee4952]

I saw Al at the O2 but this is total genius, thanks for it.

[@joannedwyer4755]

That was brilliant, just love our stand up comedians, nothings off limit with em and that's what makes em the best also your reactions are great.

[@georgerv]

Was at one of the earlier stops on this tour, he was ripping into everyone. An old couple up on the balcony, people 10 rows back, there was no safe seat. Great night

[@chrishalsall188]

I love Al Murray. I’ve seen him live. What a lot of people don’t realise because he plays the character so well is how supremely posh he is. The past 3-4 generations of the men in his family including Al are all oxbridge and have senior army and clergy roles. He is from money. He hides it well. I once saw a documentary of him with hair talking about his favourite German composers.

[@nickg2117]

Went to see Al Murray in Bournemouth many years ago, was around 2009 (might have been this tour actually). His rant about the 2012 Olympics was fantastic 😂

[@tonycalvert3426]

I'm pleased you Americans enjoy British humour. We are lucky to have Al Murray that's for sure.

[@neil4767]

I saw him do the "Where's the fkin money!" live in the Brighton show around that time, he climbed across the top of about 10 rows of chairs right to the middle of the audience to take 20 quid from a bloke who said he was a banker and call him a wanker

[@jkpole]

[@adambattersby8934]

Me and my mate went to see Al Murray at the Albert Halls here in Bolton in 2011. Thankfully, we sat right at the back. He got a woman up on stage and got and got her to pretend he was a shark and she was his prey (or something along those lines). So he ended up chasing her around the audience and they ended up running right past me and my mate way on high at the back.

[@necessaryevil3428]

This is how he gets to know everyone in the audience..... legend 🇬🇧

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Britain bailed out the Bank of Ireland in 2009 (£4 Billion+) when the shit hit the subprime fan - mainly because most British banks (which were also bailed out in 2009 to the tune of £200 to £500 Billion (no one really knows to this day) had all invested in the Bank of Ireland's shitty subprime "investments" too, which actually turned out to be even more toxic than the subprime shit on their own books. The Pub Landlord knows everything, and we were all still very fucking angry about the whole stitch up at the time this was recorded. He knew his audience.

The O2 is what the Millennium dome was. The big giant dome like thing next to the river Thames in Greenwich, London.

[@raindancer6111]

I've seen Al at our local theatre and if you want front row tickets you just have to be first when they go on sale. Not priced any higher than for the rest of that seating section. He is always brilliant. 😀 Edit: At one performance he was running around the auditorium with a teenager in tow, this included through and over the rows of seats. I think it was something to do with swimming like a shark, but I may be wrong about that.

[@msboomerizzle303]

[@neilcrawford8303]

If you do come over to the UK consider visiting Southport in Merseyside. There is the Southport Comedy Festival here in October that lasts for two weeks. Last year Al Murray was one of the acts as part of his Gig for Victory tour. Incidentally it's also the birth town Lee Mack and also Miranda Richardson, Queenie in the second series of Blackadder . It's an ideal location for visiting Liverpool.

[@charliecoutts3003]

I used to go to live comedy alot during the 90's one club in particular, The Red Rose in North London. It was being refurbished once so the club moved to a pub. I went with my Missus one Saturday and before the show Al was serving behind the bar before he went on 😊. He was as funny then as he is now although he doesn't play live so much these days. I do hope you get to see him one day though mate and I loved your reaction to the video 👍😊.

[@MrSpock-ww3qt]

Fantastic clip, Love Al Murray, so unique. Please can you react to the UK show Facejacker, one of my favourite reality clip shows in recent years. A good one to start on would be "Dufrais At The Baseball Game | Facejacker " (the 8.47 minute clip) then maybe "Brian Badonde Takes A Painting Class | Facejacker ".

Right, so the theatre agreed that around 200 seats could go unsold? Ive seen Al 3 times, every show a sell out. People dont stop buying front row ticketsto see Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle etc and they are far worse than Al

[@thedukeofnuts]

Surely Al Murray would then pick on the people in the 6th row?

He did. There were no assigned seats at that gig so it filled up from the back. He did take on the 6th row. Nowhere is safe in his gigs.

There is no extra charge for the front row. I would usually avoid it myself. Although was tricked into centre front row with Jimmy Carr. Luckily, we came to an understanding. And had no contact. And it was funny!!
