Al Murray, born in the cellar behind the boxes of crisps, and swaddled in a damp promotional beer towel, The Guv’ was born into a noble line of publicans. At 5 years old he was collecting glasses at a professional level. At 10 he was competing against adults in the regional drip tray emptying championships. And after barring someone for wearing sunglasses inside aged just 13, it was clear that while not Australian, this was the job he was made for. He also looks a lot like this other guy, with the same name, who makes documentaries, presents shows and definitely can’t change a barrel. He appears at the Grand Opera House on Monday, November 18.
