The big Yid is a one off and never fails to amuse me. He has a great way of looking at life.

IMO there are two Billy Connelly's. pre Pamela and Post Pamela.
In the very early days he was absolutely hilarious but you had to have a stomach for his crudeness and sometimes tipsy perfomances when he was doing the rounds of the pubs and clubs.
Pamela took him under her wing and tamed him some what, got him off the drink and cleaned up his act
HOWEVER did not stop him being just as hilarious as before..
Love Him

Surprisingly deep and meaningful lyrics behind such an unforgettable and tuneful melody. Wonderful!

 

[Spriddler]

I've never been able to appreciate his sense of humour and his style is too frantic for me.

50 years ago in Scotland someone put an LP on and I sat on the floor between two speakers, his accent was so strong I could only understand about 50% of what he was saying but I couldn’t stop laughing, as he became more known he definitely toned down his accent to be more understandable.

When you have had in one's life, Billy and Ken Dodd, who could ask for anything more?

 

[thegronows]

Just watched Tom Snyder and Billy joking about fart gags - culminating in the Queen Mother and King of Tonga joke - pmsl

 

[Bonsaiman]

Just watched the Funniest Moments program I’ve got a lot of his early stuff on vinyl - Words and Music, Billy Connelly Collection, Cop Yer Whack For This, Get Right Intae Him and others might have to dig them out for a listen…….. hilarious

Billy - nice guy too. Hasn't let celebrity nor money go to his head.

 

[TinaLes]

An Audience with Billy Connelly has to be the funniest of all his shows, as the audience is full of well know show biz people and comics inc Jimmy Tarbuck, and his biggest fan Michael Parkinson.
He has them wetting their pants, plus us of course, tears of non stop laughter, check it out below, best 50 mins of laughter ever.
Fact: regular viewings of Billy Connelly is being recommended for people suffering with depression by Psychiatrist's all over the world.

I saw a different side to him when he came to Dubai, twice to do shows. I did his stages for him. One of his shows he walked off because there were to many flying insects around. Dissapointed a lot of people especially as it was a charity event at The Dubai Country Club.
We will all have our opinions of given people.

Such a funny guy, loved his tv series on touring America on his trike and I read his biography which had some real sad parts in. He had a tough life.

 

[Silkcut1105]

one of the best natural story tellers of all time

if you came to our country to entertain us & left the stage due to our flying insects I wouldn’t bad mouth you , few people would get eaten alive even for charity, billy has always been generous with his time , if he walked off stage he had good reason , a more humble person you will not meet

Others that came didn't.
This was a very long time ago. Late 80s very early 90s.

I saw his show in Manchester 25 years ago, I honestly thought I was going to die, I was laughing that much I couldn't breathe

 

[CazPaul]

A very funny man best wishes to him with his health issues.

Perfectly said. Their stagecraft and timing to a live audience was impeccable.

 

[Gina M]

Please

Sorry yes on Channel 5 last night.

Years ago, he was a guest on a show paying tribute to Elton John, he said "Oh aye, me an' Elton go back a long way, I even remember when he used to be bald !"
