Billy is a genius. I have loved him for many years. Saw him at Hammersmith Apollo nearly 20 years ago. I wish I hadn't bothered with mascara! I started crying with laughter 5 minutes in.

[@irbennett]

Not the waterproof mascara.

[@Phyllis1956]

Born and raised in Edinburgh and love the Festival…..best explanation of buffets I’ve heard. Hillarious 😂😂😂😂

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

I love that he brings back the Old black shirt . It's magical in the sense of bringing more of his youth into him . Like a old country song about your Wife said I thought I through that out. His favorite old Army shirt . Like a favorite shirt you only go fishing in. Because you caught a big one in it once. 😁

[@irbennett]

Jibber jabber.

[@newfmomx2]

How does he come up with this stuff??! The first time I saw him, I laughed till I cried. My late husband did too (and we never agreed on ANYthing) When I think of comedians Billy Connolly is at the top of the list, and has been since the early 80s

[@jumbo7165]

he doesnt come up with them, he just repeats the stories he has experienced through life... its why he's so great, just great at telling stories ..

[@irbennett]

@@jumbo7165 If you'd seen him more than once you'd realise he doesn't tell the same stories over and over again. When he starts telling a story he assumes he's told it before and so removes and add things to it when he's onstage.

[@irbennett]

When I think of comedians it's Spike Milligan, Rik Mayall, then Billy Connolly. The first two are dead, so Billy is my favourite living comedian.

[@stevenbell6510]

The Best Comedian that’s ever lived. Seen Billy when he came home on tour. I remember laughing the whole show with my Dad and after the show couldn’t remember some of the stories we where laughing at. Amazing

[@jimibhoy8935]

How lucky we are to have been around at the same time as Billy Connolly. Without doubt the Best of the Best. EVER!!! God bless him for making us all laugh until we cried, usually at ourselves. I can't really find the superlatives which would begin to do the man justice. The Last King of Scotland

Why do people feel the need to exaggerate.

[@gabiluch87]

He did this set on the Craig Ferguson show, like 15 years ago and I was in tears and pain from laughing so hard. The clip was around for a bit but eventually CBS decided to delete it 🙄 Craig was laughing his ass off, so proud of his idol, but he knew the network was gonna hate it and he seemed defeated that there was no way they'd get the joke. I've been looking for it for soooo long, thanks for uploading!

[@efnissien]

I knew someone who used to get naked if conversation flagged. But the gold medal goes to a friend of my sister. I was visiting her for the first time after she moved from the family home and she brought me to her local pub. She introduced me to her new friends "This is Michelle, she works behind the bar. Tony, he works at the post office.... "etc. I'm kinda like Prince Phillip at a tour of the fig rolls factory nodding and half heartedly saying pleasantries until she gets to one fella "... and this is Phil, he's got a cube shaped testicle..." I'm going through the motions when it dawns on me what my sister has just said and I stop dead and just ask "Whaaaaat?". At this point Phil whips out his ballbag. And despite my best efforts and my inner voice screaming 'Don't fucking look' I fucking glanced down... and there it was, the cuboid nut. Not slightly cuboid, it really was distinctly cuboid. So there I am, standing in a pub with a group of strangers, gazing in awe at this one guys who's proudly displaying his freakishly geometrically shaped bollock like a prizewinning vegetable in the village fete and all I could think of saying was 'Does that thing actually fucking work?' Apparently the answer is 'yes' as he has 6 kids.

[@jenniferevans2046]

He is pure natural gold! I think he has a rough idea how he will start the show, but then he wanders off as other memories come to him. He laughs hysterically at his own mishaps, and the mishaps of others, and although he describes in detail some of his experiences, for some reason he never comes across as being vulgar. Only he can get away with this! Two of my favourites are about the husband who buried his wife in the shed with her bottom sticking out. The explanation was, that the husband needed somewhere to park his bicycle. The other one was his account of the wildebeests being stalked by two lions. Hysterically funny! I wonder how he is doing now in 2024.

[@irbennett]

He has a pretty good idea how he will start the show, it's something he thinks about whilst he is in the dressing room waiting to go on.

[@irbennett]

Oh he quite often comes across as vulgar, but that doesn't bother him or me. If you REALLY want to know how he's doing this year, google it.

[@elmonte5lim]

[@grahamjones3259]

I just love the KZbin channel Billy has started, but my greatest wish is for the World Tours he did to come to digital format on iTunes. We simply need more of Billy everywhere.

[@irbennett]

The World Tours DVDs should be available on Amazon in the UK. When they appear on iTunes is another matter, if they appear at all. Oh and Billy didn't start the channel, I think it's a fan club that started it. He hates all social media.

[@kirnpu]

I don't know what I expected to hear about a salad bar but it certainly wasn't THAT! Absolutely hysterical. And it wouldn't surprise me at all if one of his pals doing that also was Steve Buscemi.😁

Jaymack I first saw Billy live in a Portmahomack saloon bar in the North East of Scotland, this was about 1972 before he was well known; he was about 3ft from our table and had made at least one LP record. I don't remember much about his act though. I often wonder if he remembers playing there; no booking needed. Now I think he relied too much on swearing as part of his act.

Billy if this might somehow get to you I hope your well and the family but I think its a belter. ( please forgive the long story but I'm not you and it's a bit long .). One day this poor women turned up to this priests house who has a water fall man made with a big cross of Jesus going across it . The reason I was told this priest was a good old boy know issues if you know what I mean . This place became famous around the hold count for people who said that they swear that issues that they had are now gone after going in to swim a little as its not a big area and pray under the cross . Billy this woman had a big problem she was in a very bad way she went everywhere to get help but nothing . She went after hearing this place was there that this place was there and it might help her. Ok now she had to meet the priest and tell him why she's hear and when she told him and showed him he nearly died there and then. This poor women had a smelly vangina it was rank nothing this woman did helped so he in a panic said go up take your clothes off and go in its quiet don't worry I will not let anyone up there go in swim a little and pray to the Jesus on the cross. The woman had know choice its last help or she's done very nervous she did it . Being in after 5 mins something popped into the water and she shouted who's there the priest said know one don't worry . Then 5 mins go by something dropped and she was real worried she shouted father something is not right here the water is bubbling and getting warmer. But he says listen it may be working keep going OK father I will she did . Now the third time this hit her on the head it was a nail and she jumped out and looked up at the cross . And there was Jesus on the cross telling to get the fuck out he can't breathe.
