Guv Island Tour



Outspoken, deeply conservative, and obsessed with Queen, the Pub Landlord has let Murray take swipes at everything little Britain stands for. Describing the character as “a know-all know-nothing blowhard who knows the answer to every question even though he hasn't been asked any of them”, Murray’s on-stage persona even ran for parliament in 2015 as the founding member of “FUKP”, a party set up almost entirely to annoy Nigel Farage. His stand-up career with The Pub Landlord has seen him selling out shows across the UK since the early 00s, as well as producing eight best-selling DVDs to date.


Offstage, Murray has appeared on countless panel shows and TV comedies including Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo and The Harry Hill Show, and his love of history has seen him present numerous documentaries and podcasts. In 2019, Murray also played his own ancestor, William Makepeace Thackeray, in a BBC Radio 4 adaption of Vanity Fair.


In October 2021 Murray announced a massive new stand-up tour, with dates throughout 2022 seeing him visit every corner of the UK and Ireland. Murray followed this with his Guv Island tour, slated for 2024, promising a "HR-free zone" and warning that "No timewasters, tedious show-offs or offend-o-trons need apply."
