Al Murray, comedian, writer and broadcaster, will join Headmistress Lindsey Hughes in conversation at Channing on the subject of “Why girls should be interested in the Second World War.”
Best known for his comedy creation The Pub Landlord, Al Murray has enjoyed a long career on stage and screen. Alongside his comedy, he has developed a strong reputation as a historian and commentator on the Second World War. He is the co-host of the hugely successful podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, which explores all aspects of the conflict and its legacy. He has also presented acclaimed history documentaries for television, including Why Does Everyone Hate the English? and Al Murray’s Great British War Movies.
In addition to his broadcasting career, Al Murray is the author of several books on military history. His most recent, Arnhem: Black Tuesday 1944, examines one of the pivotal battles of the war. Through his distinctive mix of humour, passion and scholarship, Al has made history engaging and accessible to a wide audience.
All proceeds from this talk go to Al's treasured charity Finley's Touch: www.finleystouch.org.uk
Al will be signing books in Founders Hall after the talk which should last one hour.
