His first fully-fledged comedy routine started as some banter between folk songs but span out into a full 20-minute routine, based around the idea that Jesus hadn’t really been born in Galilee but in Gallowgate in Glasgow, and that the Last Supper had been a drunken night out in Connolly’s local, the Saracen’s Head. In his most recent book, Made In...
The appearance that propelled Connolly into the national consciousness. In 1975, Michael Parkinson was visiting Glasgow and the taxi driver started waxing lyrical about the local comedian, even stopping at a record shop to buy one of his albums to present to the chat show host. When he played it, he liked it so much he invited Connolly on to his sh...
His pronunciation of the shampoo ingredient – ‘in Glasgow that was the month before November’ – as well as his incredulity at the complexity of hair care products makes this a a quintessential Connolly routine. He’s performed it on TV a few times, but it got its first outing in his Wreck On Tour show, released as an LP in 1985.
From the same era, Connolly’s Audience With… collected some of his greatest hits, performed in front of a star-studded audience for ITV. It’s Connolly at his prime.
The Big Yin performed stand-up on the very first Comic Relief, at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre. He delivered a routine about his travels to Australia and Barbados – and the dangerous animals he encountered – as well as the ‘jojoba’ routine. Connolly maintained a long association with the charity – including streaking around London's Piccadilly Circ...
Connolly completed his first world tour in 1987, including six nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which was recorded and released as the bestselling video Billy and Albert.
The 1994 recording Billy ConnollyLive – recorded during his 20 nights at the Hammersmith Apollo – was the best-selling comedy VHS tape of that year. Here he talks about the difference between men and women, showing that there may be hack subjects, but it’s what you do with them that counts:
As Michael Parkinson was quick to realise, Billy Connollymade the perfect chat show guest. In this episode of the Late Late Show with Tom Snyder from 1998, he speaks about the delights of breaking wind, starting with stories from the set of The Impostors, which was released that year:
The terror attack on Glasgow airport – and the baggage handler who took matters into his own hands to try to thwart it – was the perfect grist for Connolly’s comic mill. A couple of years earlier, Connolly had been booed over an ill-judged sick joke he made over hostage Ken Bigley, soon before he was killed in Iraq, for which he was roasted in the ...
Appearing on Graham Norton’s show, the Big Yin shares one of his favourite stories. Published: 3 Dec 2018
Recorded in 1987, Billy & Albert is undoubtedly one of the classics. Sporting a flamboyant black-and-white stripy suit, with his anarchic straying trademark beard and locks, he belts around the stage at London's Albert Hall, fusing wayward physical comedy with ingenious punch lines. More often than not his jokes are couched in hilarious ...
