Al Murray is taking some time off to work on his next tour.
The 47-year-old comedian - who is also known as the Pub Landlord - is set to embark on another tour of the UK next year but has admitted he's been struggling to come up with new material on the road.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I have one idea for next year's show and that's it.
"I'll have some time off, that's the thing to do because to be honest, I spend so much time on the road that the last thing I want to be thinking about is the next tour and I need to forget the old stuff and get the old stuff out my system and then start again."
Al also addressed the issue of the lack of female comedians in the industry and claimed he thinks times are changing.
He said: "I think there are plenty of un-funny men who earn a decent crust as a comic and no one goes on about them. If you're funny, you're funny. It doesn't matter what gender or sex you are.
"The truth is there were less opportunities for women to start with, so there are going to be less women, but it's nonsense."

'Strictly Come Dancing' bosses are reportedly keen to sign Daniel Craig to next year's celebrity line-up.
The producers are desperate to secure the 'James Bond' hunk for the next series of the BBC One ballroom and latin programme, which will hit screens next September, as they believe his fancy footwork will heat up the competition.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "What a coup to get 007 on the dance floor. The professional girl dancers would all be fighting to be partnered with him."
And the 47-year-old actor will no doubt be one of the front runners as he previously learnt to jive in 2003 when he played Ted Hughes opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in 'Sylvia.'
Celebrity choreographer Jack Murphy, who taught him how to dance for the film, told the Radio Times magazine at the time: "I was nervous because he's an actor I hold in high esteem, but he was a fine dancer!"
Meanwhile, Jack believes 'Strictly Come Dancing' has encouraged people to fall in love with the sport again and given them the boost they need to climb off their sofas.
He said: "Dance halls have disappeared - for one reason because space became too expensive. But I think we're ready to bring them back. The brilliance of 'Strictly' means that the British public have fallen in love with ballroom dancing again. Now all we have to do is get them off the sofa and into the arms of each other. In order to do that they need the space in which to dance."

Danny-Boy Hatchard hasn't had a good Christmas present since he was 21.
The 'EastEnders' star has confessed his favourite thing about the festive season these days is the food because now he's in his twenties the gifts have gone downhill.
He told BANG Showbiz: "As long as the food's good I don't mind. Once you pass 20, 21 the Christmas presents start getting a bit crap don't they? That's when they start turning into toiletries and perfumes from the Sunday market."
The 24-year-old actor is weighing up where he should spend Christmas Day based on who he thinks will cook him the best meal.
He explained: "I have to pick and choose exactly where to go, who does a nice bit of grub. My auntie Natalie, she does a nice gravy, a really nice gravy, it transforms the meat. So I might go there or I might go to Auntie Julie's, I don't know."
And while Danny isn't excited about his own presents, he can't wait to treat his adorable French Bulldog Django.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I'm one of those weird pet people, I love getting them clothes and everything. You just get obsessed. He's already got a little Adidas jumper."

Bruno Tonioli has landed a role in a Hollywood movie.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge, who has appeared on the panel for 10 years, may have put his future on the BBC One dancing show in jeopardy after securing a starring part in a forthcoming "top secret" blockbuster in America.
He explained: "Next year I have a part in a film. It's my first one. It's very exciting, I've already filmed it but I can't say anymore about it. It's top secret. I was an actor before I was a TV presenter and I really loved doing it. But because of my accent, my options were restricted when I got to the UK."
And if the part goes well, Bruno is hoping his success will lead to him getting a role in the next 'Star Wars' movie.
He said: "My dream role is to be in 'Star Wars', I don't care what I'd be, I'd be Chewbacca's­ handbag, darling. If the right offer comes I will pursue it."
But the cheeky Italian has admitted one thing will have to give in the future because he can't manage everything.
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I get very tired, I'm very busy. You have to say this is my job. The jet lag between America and England is intense.
"So when I'm not working I don't do anything else. I just focus on the shows. It is really tough, but I make sure I have my ginger, turmeric and beetroot­ smoothie every day. It keeps me going. I go to the gym as much as I can."

'Celebrity Big Brother' bosses were left stunned after they were dished out "diva demands" by the new contestants.
Channel 5 executives were left open-mouthed after one star, who was asked to do 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' earlier this month, allegedly asked if they could be put up in a hotel at nighttime rather than spend 24 hours a day in the infamous house when the show hits screens next month.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "One celeb thought the show is only filmed in the daytime and so they could pop off to a hotel at night. The same celebrity was asked to do the jungle this year and wanted the same thing!"
But that wasn't the only obscure request bosses received as another celebrity asked to have a hearty meal in secret.
The insider added: "He told producers he couldn't survive on sludge and beans and wanted to come to the Diary Room in secret and have burger and chips without anyone knowing."
Other bizarre requests included a daily call home to speak to her pets, "private time'' in the Diary Room to pen a blog, and two other stars asked for their phones to go on Twitter.
Meanwhile, although Channel 5 have claimed any stars tipped for the show are "pure speculation", several names have been dropped including 'Strictly Come Dancing' beauty Kristina Rihanoff, former 'The Only Way Is Essex' loudmouth Gemma Collins and Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend Koo Stark.
It's also believed axed 'Hollyoaks' actress Stephanie Davis has been offered £200,000 to enter the reality show house, as well as 'Made in Chelsea' hunk Spencer Matthews.
'Celebrity Big Brother' is set to return to television screens across the nation on January 5, 2016.

Bill Bailey would like a Mexican-themed Christmas.
The 51-year-old comedian has admitted he would like to mark the special day by doing something out of the ordinary, like wearing a sombrero and eating burritos.
Asked if he'd like to have a themed Christmas, he said: "Yeah, Mexican. I think Mexican would be fun. You know, the whole sombreros, margaritas, tamales, burritos - just go the full works."
Bill also recalled the strangest gift he's ever received on December 25.
He said: "One of the strangest was a knitted praying mantis, which is a beautiful thing. It was a big praying mantis, but knitted. It was beautifully made but really quite disturbing.
"When I got it, I was in a hotel and I just sort of got into the room and put it down by the bed and went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, this thing was there and I jumped out of my skin. I'd completely forgotten it was there."
And Bill explained that the unusual gift can still be found in his home.
He said: "It's in the house somewhere. I bring it out now and again to scare people."

Gemma Atkinson says one of her favourite things about Christmas is eating Quality Street.
The 'Emmerdale' actress has confessed that despite being very passionate about health and fitness, one of her favourite things about the festive season is being able to tuck into calorific treats without any guilt.
She said: "I love Christmas dinner and Quality Street.
"I'm always saying to my fella, 'When's it too early to put the Quality Street out?' You know, around the house."
The 31-year-old star also revealed that even though he's a personal trainer, her boyfriend Olly Foster can't resist indulging in treats at Christmas time too.
Asked if he helps her to follow a healthy diet, she added: "Oh gosh, no. He's worse than me!"
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty recently confessed she wants to have a baby before she turns 32.
Speaking about how her seeing her co-star's baby has made her a "bit broody", she said: "I always said I'd have a baby at 32 - my mum had me at 32 - so hopefully we'll do that in a few years if God allows it."

Ferne McCann and George Shelley are planning to make and release music together next year.
The 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' finalists, who struck up a romantic bond during the three-week stint on the show earlier this month, are heading for the studio in 2016.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the Union J singer, 22, said: "Ferne has such a good voice, I want her to write a song with me. She's really got something, and it's going to be really cool to pull it out of her."
The hunk was blown away by the 'Only Way is Essex' star's vocals when she serenaded him in the Australian jungle.
He added: "She [Ferne] reminds me of Amy Winehouse - she has a similar voice, and she has similar characteristics."
And George isn't the only one who has compared Ferne to the 'Rehab' hitmaker - who passed away in 2011 from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 - as her former co-star Gemma Collins can also see the resemblance.
Ferne, 25, explained: "Gemma Collins says I'm like Amy Winehouse, too. Maybe it's the nose."
Meanwhile, despite having plans to launch a music career together, George and Ferne - who came second and third respectively on the ITV programme - are adamant their relationship is purely platonic after their flirty antics in the jungle and "cheeky snog" afterwards set tongues wagging.
Ferne said recently: "We get on amazingly, there is chemistry there. When I'm with him I want to cuddle him and be close to him. But when I'm away from him, I can easily switch off from that. We're lifelong friends."

Keeley Hawes is worried depression will "bite" her again.
The 'Doctor Who' actress, 39, first battled with the mental health illness when she was just 17 years old and, although she feels content with her life, she fears it'll come back.
She said: "I don't think it ever goes away. The fear is that it's always just behind you. If you just let your guard down for a minute, that's when it'll come and bite you on the a**e."
The brunette beauty - who is married to her former 'Spooks' co-star Matthew Macfayden - doesn't think her symptoms have completely disappeared but she's determined never to let herself sink into the dreaded dark place ever again.
She explained: "You are always aware, because it's so horrendous, you never want to go back to that place if there's anything you can do about it."
But, despite the highs and lows of her life, Keeley doesn't regret a single thing she's done because it's helped her to grow and learn and, ultimately, got her to where she is now.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "There's not a single day of anything I've done that I regret because everything has ultimately led me to where I am now.
"And I'm incredibly happy. I've learned along the way from people good and bad."
