Al Murray: All You Need Is Guv

Al Murray is back at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Friday 26 February 2027, returning as the Guv with his new show, All You Need Is Guv. It's a solo stand-up set, so it's just him on stage for the whole thing — no support act to warm up the room, and the show starts promptly at 7.30pm.

If you've followed him for a while, you'll know the character: the globe's favourite Pub Landlord, pint in hand, holding court from behind the bar. This is the second leg of the tour, coming after a sold-out first run across 2026, and the material is new. He describes it as "fresh, frothing Common Sense hot-takes," delivered in that familiar, loud-and-proud persona. It's the same Guv you'll remember, just with a new set of targets to get stuck into.

There's also a bit of a twist if you're thinking of sitting right at the front. The front-row seats are billed as the 'Splash Zone', and they come with a few extras: a tour poncho, a souvenir lanyard, and exclusive digital content from the Guv himself. It's a nod to the character's pub-landlord persona — and a fair warning that you might end up in the line of fire if you're in the front row.

Tickets start from £35.50, and since there's no support act, the night is just Al Murray on stage. It kicks off at 7.30pm at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Westover Road, so you'll want to be in your seat before then.
