They were mesmerising for the mere fact they didn't laugh, didn't move, didn't do anything for the entirety of the show. Not sure who they thought they'd booked to see but it appeared they hated every minute of it!

    I did not know until last night that Billy was sexually abused by his father! That sort of knocked me for six! I spent endless nights in an army barrack room listening to Monty Python, Jasper Carrot and this special gentleman from Glasgee! When many young men have committed suicide over issues like this, he imploded into comedy, he is the very finest person you could find and he was born in a slum! We all need to learn from this great human being!

      Yes ; very true , thank you for your kind words , he is an honest person and his comedy genuinely comes from his own experiences of his life, and he finds the humour in all of it, where most people would have meltdowns, Billy is a legend a comic genius and my hero..

    A few years ago he did a show "an audience with Billy Connolly". We recorded it on our Dvd player at the time. My husband and I watched it so many times we joined in with all of the jokes. The audience was all tv personalities, pop stars and news announcers etc. They were all completely in stitches. He spotted a face and reacted to that person. The tape finally gave up as it was worn out. My husband died almost twenty years ago but I can still hear him laughing when Billy told the story of the visiting priest and his mother trying to impress by responding to their shouts about pinching the overcoat on the bed, and she says its not an overcoat its a duvet. I can still hear my husband in fits, as we both were born in the 50s when it was pretty usual to have coats over the bed in winter as bedrooms were not heated, and only coal fires downstairs in the main room.
