Growing up in Scotland in the 80's I remember my dad letting me watch Billy Connolly for the first time. I must've been about 10. I've never laughed so hard in my life. Proud to come from the same part of the world as him, and being able to relate to so many of his stories and observations of the world truly is something

I love how Billy arrives and just literally takes over the whole show. He is comedy genuis. I doubt we will ever have someone of his calibre again. Ive laughed till my sides hurt at all his stand up shows. My only regret is that I never got to see Billy live.

I saw him live in Manchester in the mid-80s, Apollo theatre, and I actually thought I might die because I couldn't breathe properly from laughing so much!

I saw Billy at the Apollo many moons ago, my guts were hurting through laughing after a few minutes and continued hurting throughout the show. After it ended it felt like I'd done 5000 sit ups.

Had the privilege of seeing Billy live and had to pick myself off the floor I laughed so hard. I also remember watching one of his shows and a joke triggered me - I literally couldn't sleep that night and was still laughing a day or so later. Truly a comic genius.

I'd say he was the best comedian of all time - not just the best Scottish comedian. I am old enough to remember funny men like Morecambe & Wise, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore and Dave Allen. I loved them all but none could make me laugh until my sides hurt. Love you Billy.

I met Billy in Sydney when I was working in a clothing store. Two women had been following him through the arcade and sheepishly walked up behind him as he was looking at the tie rack and said meekly ‘Mr Connolly could we have an autograph’ and he spun around on his heels and comically yelled ‘NOOOOOOOO’ at the top of his voice and they jumped about 4ft in the air then he said ‘of course you can’ and gave them his autograph. He was a very warm and funny man.

True legend! That gets spouted about a lot but he truly is! I’ve seen all his videos from over the years and you can’t compare him to anyone, because you just can’t! Watched him in his only performance after he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson, and although it was different. It was still Billy! Love this man!

I saw Billy in Bristol probably 30 years ago, he was on stage for about 3 hours, never laughed so much in my life, he kept going back and forwards through different stories, to this day I have no idea which were true, false or a hybrid of both but I have always hoped that they were all true
