i tend to avoid such too when watching his sets, laughing my tail off

Too late (wiping beer off screen)

Too late, coffee all over my phone! 😂😂😂 Worth it

Fuck off, I'm hungry 😆

But the thing is - he's a teller of stories - not a comedian. He's the best ❤

Its not a childhood menory its an outstanding tell of the real story but it aint his lad 🤔

Reading it at the moment - very interesting. Terribly sad childhood, it was a quite an eye opener.

Great book, finished reading it this week

I've just bought and read this. Brilliant and funny

You are so right! God bless the man

Billy Connolly is the funniest man on the planet. I was born in 1955 and I have loved and laughed at Morecambe & Wise and all those comedians from back then.Thing is, Morecambe & Wise were funny back in the old days in a gentle way. Billy Connolly pushes the boundaries in ways that M&W couldn't have dreamed of. M&W made me laugh; Billy makes me laugh until I hurt. xx

@@Wooargh does it? How do you know?

I know exactly what ya mean, Billy's comedy has helped me cheered me up and helped me through my lowest of times, to which I'm forever grateful to him for.

Fair enough he had a crap childhood. He could laugh at it so why can't we laugh with him?

You'll find the priest and kids scene in the middle of "An Audience with Billy Connolly" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJd8fc1_rr23dKc.html at the 23:24 mark. He goes off on a tangent about a minute in but stick with it, he comes back to the priest bit.

@@greypilgrim228 thank you thank you thank you!!

Where have 27 years gone? Just look in the mirror. That's where they've gone.

@@mikethespike7579 a reflection doesn't best describe the passage of time. I look a bit different, but that still doesn't account for the time going fast or slow. Leave the comedy to Billy, he's much much better 😆👍🏻

@@shropsiberian I'm sorry, but It isn't comedy, it's the truth. And even if It was supposed to be comedy, I'm not trying to compete against Billy, it wouldn't be fair to him. You don't notice the changes in the mirror seeing yourself every day over the years. That's why most people think they look more or less the same as years ago. It's when you compare a recent photo with one from years ago, passport photos are good for that, that's when you can't deny the changes.

If there's anything I could ever say to Billy it would be that I'd happily die laughing to him, in fact I would consider it an honour! I've been curled up on the floor because my body had let go just as he described thinking it was all over and realised I didn't care. Just in case there's any chance you evere read these comments. Enjoy retirement Billy, you've more than earned it. It's been an absolute privilege to have shared this mortal coil at the same time as yourself.

@@Under_No_Illusion Me too.

these are uploaded by his pr people, not by billy himself.

Ditto. :D I read this particular one in the book a week or so ago.

Psst... what was the title of the book?

@@smoothie9931 it’s called “Windswept and Interesting “.

Or his autobiography by himself

@@joelmacinnes2391 haven't read that yet. Didn't know if he had retread the same stories

@@MilanousMedia oh right, no bother then, I'd definitely recommend it (not sure how similar it is to his biography though, I've not read it)

@@joelmacinnes2391 its fun to see Billy through her eyes. The fact she was close to leaving, her struggles with his drinking, the fact she neber asked how big a baby he was at birth until like a week before the birth of hers and subsequently shitting herself at the answer
