Alastair James Hay Murray is an English comedian, actor and writer. Murray's career began working with Harry Hill at BBC Radio 4. He received acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, before launching his "Pub Landlord" persona (which he describes as a "know-all know-nothing blowhard who knows the answer to every question even though he hasn't been asked any of them").This in turn led to the 2000 Sky One sitcom Time Gentlemen Please. Oxford-educated, Murray's comedy is often hard-edged social and political satire. He continues to perform as a stand-up, and is a regular on British TV and radio.
