What's amazing about Billy Connolly is that he never rehearsed before a show. In fact he never even knew what he was going to joke about. It just came to him whilst he was performing. It's all improvisation.

His "An audience with Billy Connolly" show is legendary. It's Billy entertaining (and often annoying/tormenting) an audience comprising of UK celebrities. There are many great moments during the set, well worth watching and prime "reaction" material!
I've seen INCONTINENCE KNICKERS dozens of times and I still pee my pants. His fart on the airplane sent me into labour over 30 years ago.😂😂😂

I'm Scottish and my father had a LP of his from when he started. In about 1985 he did 'A Audiance With Billy Connolly' for the BBC its wonderful. His Dwarf On A Bus is a wonderful story and being from near Glasgow it sounds true. His first joke on TV was on a chat show called Parkinson its about a man murdering his wife, that one joke made him.. Billy started off as a singer his song 'Devorse' is so funny and from the early 70's its about a dog. He also did a sketch with Kenny Everet about 2 old lposh Scottish ladys in a tea shop which is rediculous both men dressed up but with full beards. Billy had a horrible start to life but his wife realy helped him. He got into films in the 90's and John Brown who was a Highlander who worked for Queen Victoria played by Judy Dench is fantastic.

The song is "D.I.V.O.R.C.E" and is Billy's cover of Sheb Wooley's parody of Tammy Wynette's song. It is not about a dog but about not letting the dog know about the couple getting divorced, by spelling out the word, whereas in the Wynette song it is spelling out the word so that their children don't know. "An Audience With Billy Connolly" was taped at The South Bank Television Centre for ITV not the BBC. His first film was in 1979 and "Mrs Brown" was his ninth film., so he "got into films" long before the 90s. It seems that some of your recollections, like some of your spelling, aren't quite accurate.

@@JohnHF1957 The original D.I.V.O.R.C.E was a Tammy Wynette song, which Billy changed the lyrics to, so it was now about his dog, chiefly taking his dog to the V.E.T. and what the dog would do if it found out where it was going. It was the only time he topped the charts in the UK.

As someone who once stood on a Stone Fish at a boat ramp I'd love to see what you think about his bit "The Worst Pain Known To Man". He absolutely nailed it!

Billy at his best. How can you make people laugh at a wildebeast being eaten by lions? Blood, Guts, Entrails and Organs flying everywhere? It's in the storytelling. Something Billy excels at! Jodi sorry to see you have an injury hope you recover soon. When I saw you at the beginning it looked like you had a hand in your pocket.😁. There were TV specials in the UK called "An Audience With..." they'd fill the audience with famous people other performers etc and get the "guest star" to perform their act and interact with their audience. Only a small number of people did a second show. Billy Connelley and Freddie Starr are among them. The shows are available on line just google "an audience with..." In one episode Billy does a story about incontinence pants for the "modern man" funniest thing I have ever seen.😂
