Al Murray: All You Need Is Guv

Al Murray brings his latest show, All You Need Is Guv, to the Princess Theatre on Sunday 18 April 2027. Most of us know him as the Pub Landlord, the loud-mouthed, beer-slinging character he's been building since the 1994 Edinburgh Festival. It's a long-running alter-ego that's taken him through plenty of television and tour appearances, and four published books along the way.

He bills himself as the 'people's man of the people', and the act works from that: he trades in observations on the state of the country and a fair bit of ancient pub wisdom, all delivered in that unmistakable voice. The show follows a sell-out 138-date tour of the British Isles, so it's coming to Torquay after a long run of nights across the country.

He pitches the show as an 'HR-free zone', free of tedious show-offs, which gives you a good sense of the tone he's going for. It's the Pub Landlord in his element, holding court and talking his way around the room. One thing to keep in mind: the audience is 16+, so it's not one for the younger ones. The date is Sunday 18 April 2027 at the Princess Theatre in Torquay.
