Al Murray returns to Bournemouth in 2026 with a brand-new stand-up show

Britain’s most outspoken publican, Al Murray, will return to the Bournemouth Pavilion stage in 2026 with an all-new stand-up show that promises to be one of the comedy highlights of the year.

This highly anticipated date follows two near sell-out performances back in 2024, where the Guvnor had audiences roaring with laughter and calling for more.

Now, fans across the South Coast will once again have the chance to raise a glass and enjoy an evening of unfiltered, full-bodied comedy from one of the UK’s best-loved live acts.

Following the incredible success of his recent 138-date sell-out tour, The Pub Landlord is back with his trademark blend of razor-sharp wit, bar-room philosophy, and good old-fashioned common sense. With the world feeling more chaotic than ever, who better to restore order and pour a few laughs along the way?

For more than 30 years, Al has filled arenas and the largest theatres around the world and won numerous awards and accolades, including the Edinburgh Comedy Award (formally Perrier Award, after a record four successive nominations) and secured Olivier Award nominations for both of his sell-out West End runs.

He has hosted countless TV series, including the acclaimed entertainment chat show Al Murray’s Happy Hour (ITV) and the ground-breaking sitcom Time Gentlemen Please (Sky). Al has made multiple appearances on The Royal Variety Performance (ITV) and hosted Live at the Apollo (BBC) and Live at the Palladium (ITV).

In All You Need is Guv, audiences can expect an evening packed with bold observations, hard truths, and generous helpings of satire – all served up in the inimitable style that has made Al Murray one of the biggest names in British comedy.

For those brave enough to get closer to the action, limited tickets will be available in the infamous ‘Splash Zone’ – a front-row experience for comedy thrill-seekers (ponchos recommended!).

Tickets go on sale Friday 27 June 2025 at 10am and are expected to sell fast. Don’t miss your chance to catch one of Britain’s funniest and most original voices – live at Bournemouth Pavilion.
