Interview: Al Murray
It's time to raise your glasses in celebration - The Pub Landlord is back at the Edinburgh Playhouse tomorrow, in all his maroon-blazered, tongue-in-cheek glory. The Barrel Of Fun Tour is the latest offering from comedian Al Murray and focuses, fittingly given publicans' traditional part-time role of agony aunt to their customers, on all the things we worry about.
"The Landlord tackles global warming, debt, the financial crisis. It's a bottomless pit," admits Murray, who has also included "bonkers mental" religion in the act.

Although the Guv initially struggles to find fault with the Taliban "they don't like Americans, they believe women should do what they're told", he eventually declares them the enemy as they "don't like beer and they don't like pork scratchings".
The Pope also gets a mention, perhaps unsurprisingly given Murray's public opposition to his state-funded visit earlier this year.
While it may seem that the show's material is rather heavy for a comedy gig, Murray has included plenty of other content to keep it light-hearted. As well as a nagging concern about erectile dysfunction, the Guv is also proposing to give ginger-haired people back their rights in his oft-utilised sense of reasoning that they were here first.

Al Murray: Through the looking glass
With the Christmas market in mind, Al Murray has released a DVD that features the Pub Landlord's take on the Holy Father himself. "In Nomine Patris et Filii," says the Guv, theatrically making the sign of the cross. "Patris-Filii-Fidlee-Paedo-Fidlee ..." he continues, standing in front of a giant screen image of Pope Benedict XVI with reddened demon eyes and a black toothbrush moustache in recognition of the Bishop of Rome's German ancestry.
The DVD was shot in Hammersmith, west London, last month but days earlier Murray performed the same routine in Ireland. "You should have been in Dublin when I did that material," he says with a smirk. "You had people on their feet cheering and clapping, and others with their arms folded, shaking their heads. Whether that's because you don't diss the Pope because it's too terrible, I don't know. But that was very, very exciting – the mischief and the energy of it. Mischief is what I'm interested in."

Pub landlord reveals his literary side
William Makepeace Thackeray is a "beautiful British name", as Al Murray's comic character the Pub Landlord would say. But few would associate the comedian and his shaven-headed Little Englander alter ego with one of the greatest writers in the 19th-century literary canon.Yet the two are in fact related, with the comedian being the great-great-great grandson of the Vanity Fair author. And Murray has revealed that next year he will make a landmark BBC documentary to mark the bicentenary of the birth of his famous relative.
In an interview with The Independent, Murray described Thackeray as "a fascinating character" but said that he had only in recent years taken an interest in the work of his forebear. "We are trying to get something off the ground for next year because it's the bicentennial of his birth in 1811. His life was amazing. He was a journalist really, a Grub Street hack in the finest sense," he said.
