he's got me sitting here rolling in my seat with laughter. Funniest stand up comedian ever. I thought some of the new guys were funny, and they are, but you watch a bit of this and it's er, better.
I love Billy Connoly...not in a romantic way...I just love everything about his humour, his roots...I'm younger and a glaswiegian so that must be why...it is pure humour... thank you billy !!!
I grew up in a Glasgow tenement too, happy days, honestly!!!! Real characters lived in them until they were pulled down and people were rehoused in new flats. Community life died.
@DavidAKZ I was a kid when i lived in the Glasgow tenements but have to say that those of us lucky enough not to end up in a flat (like my family who moved to a new built town) were able to continue the community way of life and I now live in a fab village in Scotland alongside wonderful, real people :)
Very jealous. Here in Australia it's all big cars, sport and botox. Thinking about how much money I need to go back and live around the West End / Byres Rd area.
Guys a genious! no one else in the world makes u laugh at story telling like he does! he doesnt even tell jokes, thats whats sets him from the rest!, and hes made millions laught! the worlds a better place with billy in it! hes one in a trillion! and im honoured to be a scot like him! may he continue to make me piss myself over and over again!!!
To a celtic audience he sounds like your mate in the pub, he is so irreverent. But he really is like a bloke in a pub rather than the forced comedy we see on TV these days.
Stand-up comedians do that. I was in Manchester, at Bernard Manning's Club, in 1984. If you got up to go to the toilet, he'd start on you. And God help you if you were black.
some fucker has given me a thumbs down??!!? what do they want me to do? advise black people to pursue bernard manning gigs for a bit of race-hate fun? lol

Billy is a living monument to free-form stand-up comedy. He'd hate it to be called a monument though :P So, Billy is simply the best!
