So is Billy Connolly to the UK what George Carlin is to us? (i.e. a comedy legend that might be considered a philosopher and changed what was thought possible in stand up comedy.) The more I look him up the more impressed I am. I don't know why he's not more popular in the states.
@Craxblorg As Shannonlovesbuble stated, yes Billy is a legend in the UK. As to your question why he is not more popular herein the States, well considering that our most popular comedians are a fake Redneck with a lame catchphrase and no sleeves, and a guy who puts his hand up puppet asses, it may be a commentary on we Americans and our "popular" tastes.
@DelaneyRoberts *sigh* you may be right. I have no idea why those people became successful. Who was the idiot who thought "Racist ventriloquism?? Showbusiness has never seen THIS before!"
"she vomited on my head!!!" lmao!!! and yes people he's scottish my girlfriend has the same scottish accent. the further in scotland you go and wherever you go in scotland they have different accents
@ch3rubrock are we not the same kin friend? BIlly's ancestry is Irish - Connolly - the Scotti (Roman name for the Irish) settled Alba in Iron Age and married into the Cruthin - Picts - note no invasion - we got on for years - so we are all the same stock - cousins - I see no difference - I LOVE Scotland - only other place I felt like hime when I was abroad. Alba agus Eireann go braigh a charda.
@lisduggan64 I might be wrong (so don't quote me on this) but I think you don't have to go back so long, I think one of his parents (or maybe grandparents) are Irish.
@greghell I think you're right. I was just making a general point that Irish and Sots and are closer in every way than they might even think themselves - culturally, musically, humour, dialects and so on - one people divided by a tiny strip of water and religion
@lisduggan64 and a few back over here - we brought in Robert The Bruce's bro Edward as a potential High King but he f'd up & paid for it with his life and the Gallowglas helped us on many a occasion - the sadder plantations linked to Tudor Empire building that led to the Troubles is the one offending thing that drove a stake in the heart of Celtic brotherhood. Now we have a new awakening of our shared past heritage and along with VIking, Norman and other blood we should enjoy a united culture!

I am Irish and would love for Billy to be known as Irish, but the fact of the matter is he is Scotish. But he does have an Irish Heritage.

@lisduggan64 yup! - It's a known fact that through out time there have been more than a few mass-migrations from Ireland to Scotland.
