Al Murray has beer taps on stage. That bar behind him actually has a working beer tap< he drinks on stage and when the glass is empty, he pulls himself another pint. That is his comedy persona, Al Murray the Pub Landlord.

[@cueballrobbie2237]

They call him the Landlord.

[@Camberwell86]

I was a pub chef for years and had a landlord like that with the "never ending pint". When the evening rush started to die about 8pm he would pull himself a real ale. And just repeatedly top it up whenever he got down to about a quarter. So he only dirtied one glass but by 11pm the geezer was always about 15 pints deep. And we'd walk out after a 12 hour shift doing nearly 500 covers and he'd make us pay full whack for our beers lmao. What a cunt 😂

The person you see on stage is a character called the Pub landlord. That's why he has a bar on the stage, he serves himself during the show. He playes on being a little drunk as it goes on behaves a little dirty when he see's an attractive woman, but always in courage joining in but he controls the crowd well. X great comedian 👌

[@paula200]

The drink is part of the act - thats why his alter ego is 'the pub landlord'. He is insanely quick witted and intelligent, but I have seen him a little drunk in his local in chiswick 🤣

[@wolfme4030]

Yep. He's a professional who only drinks non-alcoholic drinks on stage.

[@cyberash3000]

not exactly true he started off actualy drinking alcoholic beer but found he kept needing the loo, so he swapped it to non alcoholic, but he has his own beer made

Al Murray, a HIGHLY intelligent comic, hilarious Guy!

[@garryleerob]

Excellent, YOU GOT IT!!!!! It was really lovely to hear you both laugh at Al's take on the 'war with the USA'... ''A lucky f++king escape!'' So many other 'React' vids presenters get upset and start to complain about his 'jokes'... several think this to be a real person... And no he's not a drunk. It may even be no-alcohol beer... do you think anyone would take the chance of ruining a show because he'd have 'one too many'? It could be a shandy (half beer, half lemonade) anyway as he always does(on purpose) he spills quite a lot. He's being what is thought to be a typical old-fashioned know it all pub Landlord... they always stood around with a drink whilst chatting with customers... not like the corporate-run 'pubs' now, with managers who are ambassadors for the company. They did have a charm and were characters in their own right. Not so now, very few and far between. In reality he isn't a loud-mouthed know it all. He is an extremely intelligent, well educated (Oxford University graduate) well versed in British culture, politics, World history and current events... oh, and a know-it-all ha ha ha. He ( as part joke and to prove a point) ran for Gov't/ to be an MP. as his character The Pub Landlord... The Guvnor as he's known too. He got 318 votes.

just in case you don't know - Al Murray is a comedic character played by Alisatir James Hay Murray- The character of Al is a right wing, xenophobic,mysoginistic, homophobic pub landlord who belives Britain is still "the best" in everything - there are some complaints about him from people who don't realise that Alistair Murray is using the character of Al to satarise this type of "Little Englander" - he's gloriously funny in the way he mocks this type of person - worth checking out his other videos - there hilarious!
