Al takes a break from the Pub

Al Murray’s Multiple Personality Disorder is a brand new comedy sketch show written by and starring the multi-award winning creator of The Pub Landlord.  The seven-part peak-time ITV1 series will introduce Al as a whole host of new comic characters (for the very first time since he created The Pub Landlord in 1994), while some very well-known TV faces drop in for the odd sketch.

Larger than life characters include: Prurient Dad, Peter Taylor, an embarrassing West Country father, who “luuuuuuurrrves seeeeex!” and doesn’t mind who knows it; Barrington Blowtorch, the silver-tongued Victorian gentleman-thief who can always talk his way out of a sticky situation; Horst Schwull, Hitler’s most trusted aide, who is, just a little, on the kamp side; and Gary Parsley, an outrageous, over-demanding, piano-playing 70′s rock star who has let fame go right to his head.  Countless other characters pop up along the way like: Simon, the Intolerant Vicar, who likes to keep everything traditional – well, apart from his temper; Gaz, the less than typical Gay Best Friend, who enjoys beer, heavy metal, and er, women; and Kev and Jaz, the mobile phone shop employees who are shining examples of the best customer service the UK has to offer.

As his alter-ego, The Pub Landlord, Al Murrary is set to embark on a 53-date 170,000-ticket national tour “Al Murray The Pub Landlord’s Beautiful British Tour” this February – which includes two O2 Arena gigs and 12 new arena dates.  In the last couple of years The Guv has recorded three series of the British Comedy Award-winning Al Murray’s Happy Hour (ITV1); headlined Live at the Apollo (BBC ONE); hosted a second “Audience With …” for ITV1; brought his unique Common-Sense-Reasoning to the literary world with the Richard and Judy Book Club-winning and The Sunday Times bestseller, The Pub Landlord’s Book of British Common Sense; and record his British Comedy Award nominated live show …And Another Thing at the London Palladium for DVD (which sold over 200,000 copies).  Series two of Al Murray’s Happy Hour and the entire first series of Time Gentlemen Please will be released this March (ITV DVD).

“Al Murray’s Multiple Personality Disorder” will transmit on ITV1 for seven weeks from Friday 27th February.
