Billy Connolly - Dwarf on a bus - Live in London 2010

[@StevePorter_au]

I had a dwarf on my bus a few years ago. When we got to his stop, I pulled up, lowered the bus and opened the door. He walked up to the edge of the bus and jumped. I swear he did it for comedy effect. I hope so, because I nearly wet myself.

[@irbennett]

@@francesbaldwin2526 This puzzles me. I've seen Billy live several times, and not once have i ended up in pain, not once did I wet my pants, not once have I had difficulty breathing. Speaking to other people who accompanied me or have seen him on other occasions, none of them have experienced anything like that. So why is it only on the message boards that people say such things. Are they exaggerating, competing with each other, trying to impress, or just lying. Are they just barking mad.

@@irbennett perhaps we all have a different dence of humour. Still today he makes me laugh at the same old jokes. Simpler times. His ability to take a walk along the street and make observations and talk nonsense about things that just don't occur to us that is brilliant.

@@francesbaldwin2526 What I mentioned has nothing to do with sense of humour. It's the physical effects of seeing Billy that only people on the message boards seem to have. Because I and people I've spoken to have not had them. Normal people. So why do people do it. You think he talks nonsense?

We had a dwarf near us . Not the nicest person I've ever met. One day in the supermarket car park, a woman bumped his car with hers. He got out and came around to see the damage . The woman apologised profusely but he said "I'm not happy " she said " well which one are you then"

[@thomashogg2341]

My favourite story about being on a Glesga bus. I was up the toon just before Christmas, must have been around 2005 or 2006. I was on the 34 heading for Govan Cross and the bus was on Renfield St. we stop at a bus stop and a young mum, about 30ish gets on with her daughter who would be about 4 or 5. The daughter is wearing a pale blue coat with white fur trim, looking very smart and like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. In her arms she's clutching this HUGE giraffe stuffed toy. So mum gets the tickets sorted and they sit down, mum takes the window seat, little Miss takes the aisle seat, there's no room for the stuffed toy so it's now on it's side in the aisle. The driver checks his mirrors before setting off, sees the giraffe blocking the passage and shouts down the bus " Here hen, ye cannae leave that lyin there", to which Miss Innocence shouts back " Ye f*ckin stupid? It's a f*ckin giraffe, no a f*ckin lion". Took 10 minutes before the driver could stop laughing enough to continue down Renfield Street.

I'm from Glasgow and those bus stories are hysterical. When I was getting married, my fiancee and I were taking gifts to our flat. We got on the bus and sat on the side seats, bus is basically empty, past peak hour. I'm sitting next to the pole at the side and I am holding a brass pole off a floor lamp. There is a young policeman sitting opposite me and he is going to the sub station round from our flat. This lady sitting farther up the bus gets up to get off the bus. Evidently bus driver is new, grinding the gears, bus jerking like crazy just as the lady passes me. She grabs hold of the pole from my floor lamp, I was not expecting that, and I let it go. She ends up flat on her back legs up in the air, and she is wondering what the hell happened. I'm hysterical laughing, my husband to be, helps the woman up. She tells him they need to repair the buses, I can't stop laughing. My fiancee drags me off the bus, pole lamp and all and the young policeman gets off as well, 4 bus stops before he should have. Policeman and I end up leaning against the railings of Queens Park laughing hysterically. My fiancee, madder than hell has walked off carrying the shade to the floor lamp. I often wonder how Billy would have told this story. I still laugh when I think about it and that was decades ago.

Highly recommend the "Billy Connolly Does..." series (three seasons) filmed at his Florida home with loads of historical clips. Despite his Parkinsons he still has an amazing memory and is also a talented artist as well as a musician. His autobiography is also a great read although it reveals quite a disturbing childhood.

[@irbennett]

The only problem is that Billy Connelly Does is on Sky, which I don't have and couldn't afford anyway. There was a documentary on BBC on Monday about him, it showed he was in reasonable health. But his memory was suffering. He thought the Audience with Billy Connolly programme that made his name was filmed a couple of years ago rather than 1985. But he's still in reasonable health.

I hope no one will be offended but, I believe Glasgow is a lot like Liverpool. They both have their very own special brand of humour that was nurtured in their respective towns.

The journey was better than the final stop. Great stuff.

I have only just realised how fascinating this man really is. Listened to his autobiography whilst working and was totally enthralled with his stories humour life experience and wisdom. He is a real inspiration for anyone who needs inspiration!

[@j0hnn13K]

If this happened anywhere else but in Glasgow, i'd say "i hope its true", but because it in fact did happen in Glasgow, i'm pretty sure it's a true story lol

[@OffGridInvestor]

Could happen in Yorkshire too.

Nope.

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Went to his show here in Vancouver some years back. Had a prime seat and laughed til my face hurt. Observant and screamingly funny. Best money I've ever spent

[@irbennett]

Note to self. Laugh till face hurt.

[@davyP12]

I grew up in Glasgow and remember fondly his earlier observational comedy, about Glesga life. A lifetime of re-telling his extraordinary observations on life. Seen him live 3 times. Never fails to get me in bits. All the best Big Yin.😅

[@gallifrey1985]

Currently reading his autobiography. It reads as if he's actually talking. This man is a legend. He's a genius and definitely windswept and interesting

[@scarecrowestetson]

I am reading that book now. And it does read as if he is actually talking. I don't know how many times I have laughed out loud whilst reading. One time I had to put the book down as I was worried I was going to drop it and lose my place from laughing so hard.

[@gallifrey1985]

@@scarecrowestetson I know exactly what you mean. It's a cracking read. I believe he actually dictated it and his daughter had to translate because the machine couldn't understand his accent

I just love when Billy starts laughing at what he's hearing himself saying. :D

[@normansmith8184]

As he said, please be true. He still has (in my opinion) the funniest ever stand up routine with "An Audience With Billy Connolly" from about 1983/4. The one with The Archers as a new National Anthem for the Olympic team. Pure genius, I have the dvd and cry with laughter every time I watch it.

I just watched this video and I couldn't stop laughing! You're a fantastic comedian Billy! My granddad was Scottish, and we plan on visiting Scotland next year. Will be landing in Glasgow and spending 3 days. One of the places where definitely going for a pint is the Scotia Bar. My wife wants to visit the Purple Cat Cafe as well. Bless you Mate!

[@alanlucas501]

The most funniest and most recognizable comedian. An adsolute legend. It was a tradition in our house back in the day of VHS at Christmas we'd all gather around and watch and cry with laughter the latest offering from Billy. The memories.🤣👍🏻😂👍🏻😁👍🏻

The big slipper

[@Richard-wf9of]

We were the same, always watched it at Christmas, can still remember my gran being upset at the swearing 😅

[@Hiznogood]

This reminds me of a story my Mum told me. She and my older sister was taking the bus. My sister who where about 4 or 5 years then, had the habit of pointing at things she found fascinating or peculiar and then asking mum about it. Now, my mother had told her before the ride that if she found something they could talk about it later at home and not on the bus. My sis agreed and Mum thought she was safe until a dwarf woman went on the bus and my sister pointed at her and with a clear voice said aloud: “We can talk about her later when we get home!” The sh*t kids say!😂 Poor Mum!

[@georgel3657]

[@user-lz2bn6eo1j]

One of my ex girlfriends told me she saw a midget driving through town. I started to laugh and told her it was a friend of mines uncle. I met him a few times he was pretty cool. I found out he was a tunnel rat in Vietnam.

His insight into how we all lived in glasgow makes mr howl with laughter. Yes-when it was cold-before central heating was there- and extra coat on the bed kept us warm. And when he mimics his Mum saying to the visiting priest-“have another custard cream father. That’s what they’re there for…..”- It was hilarious- because that really happened!😂😂😂
