The thing about Billy is that he's a true story-teller - in the old sense of the word; when a man could hold an audience just talking about life. The way he goes from one story to the next, seemingly unconnected and yet not - that is a rare skill....not to mention the fact that he's funny as buggery;)

[VoodooChileJ11]

I don't think people can quite get their heads around the fact that it really is improv. He just remembers something that happened, or something he said reminds him of something else and he just goes on about it. And the way he presents it, jesus christ, he is funny

Epic beard, epic hair. If Jesus were Scottish and in his 60's...

@VoodooChileJ11... never mind swivel... it feels much better if they undulate gently...

[arjoj10]

[TheLegendof2009]

By far the funniest thing I have heard of his in a long fucken time...I almost pissed myself during this vid it was absolutely fucken HILARIOUS!

Billy has an amazing natural gift. He is a true bard - a storyteller and a satirist.

Forgive the pretentiousness, but it's true. In the old Gaelic society, the poet/bard could depose kings simply by some deftly applied withering comments. This people held eloquence as more powerful than the sword. Billy, whether he knows it or not, is steeped in that ancient tradition. A great storyteller and a great natural.

@VoodooChileJ11 If that was your point, why the hell didn't you say THAT to begin with!? You are covering your ass, mr Swivelman..

[VoodooChileJ11]

@Zpik3 My point is he is naturally talented at improvising and hilariously at that, that is my point, I'm sticking by it, I am most certainly not wrong and you can sit on it and swivel :)

@VoodooChileJ11 I have more than enough of a life "outside" of the computer, thank you very much. If you didn't mean what you said, then why say it? Posting that kind of a comment on one of his shows rather than an interview you cannot blame people for misunderstanding you. Which I doubt I did. Personally I think you are just pissed because you made a dumb comment and I corrected you.
