A big hairy madman

My wife and I are huge fans of Billy. We bought our first house in 2007 (which we could barely afford) around the same time Billy was playing a local town. Tickets to the gig were not an option on our wages at the time and the venue sold out almost instantly anyway, but in a moment of madness, I paid triple the price online for a pair of tickets so we could go. We struggled over the following couple of months as a result of my spontaneity but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Beautiful.

Billy looks amazing for an 80 year old with Parkinson's. For years he's hardly had a line on his face. Long live the big yin! 🥰

Billy makes me happy, just hearing his voice makes me smile 😁

Billy makes me cry! He is beautifully innapropriate and so full of life. His stories are the best. He is an amazingly talented tour de force. The world is a better place for Billy. 😊

Used to listen to Billy’s cassettes when I was too young to do so as a kid in the 70’s. Always got caught giggling under the covers, when I should have been sleeping. Got in trouble at school for singing The Shitkickers Waltz in early Primary School. My life/sense of humour, would not have been the same without this man.

I have loved him like a very best friend for many years and to see him today answering questions brought the smile back to my face. it was because of Billy's humour that I learned to laugh out loud.

Billy Connolly has NEVER had Parkinson's disease. He was simply retired by his shadow handlers just like Lee Evans was. The entertainment industry is controlled by shadow handlers who actually decide who can perform, where they can perform, and for how long. He was retired to.make way for new talent. The world is a stage. Matthew 10 v 26 "For there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed"

Ahh Billy, for 40 years I have always cheered me up with every you have done, from standup to your tours. Your stories are captivating, amazing and so hilarious. Bless you my friend, go well. ❤

It's a joy to see Billy chatting and laughing. Long may it continue!

Some of my happiest memories are my entire family in the sitting room laughing uproariously at Billy's stand up on VHS. We were truly blessed to have him in our home.

I've so much love for the Big Yin. Billy deserves every last ounce of adulation that comes his way. He has been a part of my families life since the 70's. I can remember many nights spent with my parents watching Billy on tv making us all laugh. It was my happy place! It's great to see him looking and doing so well still. The world is a much better place because Billy Connolly exists.

Nice to see you Billy, as sharp as ever. Im pleased that the creative part fo you is still going in another form. We could see you when you were on the stage , and now we can hang you in our homes where you continue to make us smile.

Typical Billy.. even with his illness and disabilities he can still go on some mad tangent with his storys. Absolute legend of a man. ❤

there's not enough words to describe the joy Billy brings to people who love him. Thank you Billy for everything you have done over the many years. I have laughed until it hurt......

From one lone Scotsman in south Australia, I've been a fan of your's for near on 40 years. WE ALL LOVE YOU BILLY CONNOLLY!!! God bless, huge hugs Biguin.

The best Scottish Icon everyone in Scotland will be upset when this man sadly passes but we need to be grateful at his age we still have him

I was less than ten years old and my sister even younger when my parents took us to see Billy (the first time) at the Adelaide Festival Theatre. He was wearing banana boots and walked out on stage in a leotard and said can ye see it? Well even as children that was just hysterical! I just love you "Big un"!

Billy's jokes join the aether as permanent monuments to his genius. His line, 'The desire to become a politician should automatically exclude you from ever becoming one' has stayed with me for decades! And a mate of mine just announced he is standing for his local council! Did I have to bite my tongue to not have the Big Yin's words flying out!

Such a lovely guy . I am 59 & have admired his humour since my teens. Will definitely look up his artwork now - such a talented man.

In the land of laughter, where humor takes its throne, There's a man named Billy, whose wit has brightly shone. With a twinkle in his eye and a Scottish heart so true, He's brought joy to millions, in everything he'd do. From the stages of the world to the screens both big and small, Billy Connolly's presence would capture one and all. His tales of life's adventures, so vivid and so bold, Would leave us in stitches, our spirits uncontrolled. With a beard and banter, a motorcycle's roar, He'd take us on a journey, to lands both near and far. From Glasgow's streets to the highlands' mystic lore, Billy Connolly's humor, an unforgettable star. He'd share his views on life, with humor razor-sharp, And touch on every topic, from the mundane to the harp. Through comedy and storytelling, he'd make us see, The beauty in the world, in his own unique decree. In the world of stand-up, where laughter knows no end, Billy Connolly's legacy, as a comic, transcends. A true comedic legend, with charisma to defend, He's left an indelible mark, a cherished, lifelong friend. So here's to Billy Connolly, the funny man so dear, Whose laughter and whose wisdom, we'll forever hold near. In the realm of humor, he's a pioneer, A comic genius, whom we revere and revere.

“When I was a comedian” ❤️😂❤️ Big Yin, you’re Billy fkn Connolly, inspiration and genuine Everyman. You’re very dear to us.

Billy, you aren't a 'past' comedian, you are a 'current' comedian. I regale some of your best sketches to none the wiser (but always give credit to you) foreign friends. No-one will ever have the delivery you have though, or do justice to it! Sorry for the loss of your Brother Parkie. Live long and prosper big yin.

I was invited by my parents to a Billy Connolly show at The Forum Theatre, Waterford, Ireland, maybe 25 years ago & my parents took exception to the penis jokes (the woolly trousers) & left with my sister - I stayed until the end, laughed my arse off. In one moment I thought to myself, when will I ever get to see the Big Yin again? I was given the silent treatment after, we were supposed to all go out to dinner together - they dropped me home and pealed out and went for dinner without me. F√¢k 'em 😂 So glad I stayed to this day, thank God I did. All the great TV series, the appearances on Parky's TV show, the appearances on Late Late Show with Gay Byrne. You're the best to ever do it. Thanks for the laughs! Love ya Billy!!!💕

He’s certainly a treasure… so very upbeat and silly… windswept and interesting!

As a former 80's and 90's kid, there was only one man allowed to swear in the house and it was you Billy. If I could give you a mere chuckled in return, could always buy a Giraffe and paint it brown, Now that's a high horse to be on!

Billys jokes will never dissappear, to this day I still refer to his jokes in various situations I've been in or experienced because they were so relatable in normal life. A gent and an absolute legend!

Billy has made me laugh more than any other comedian. I have also admired him as an actor, especially in Mrs Brown, followed his travel shows with interest and even listened to some of his banjo music. I did not know before this video that he is also a talented visual artist. He is, without a doubt, one of the most creative people of my generation.

We all love you, Sir Billy

i love Billy so much. so many years laughing at his stuff. saw him in Vancouver a few years back and he was absolutely brilliant. hes a gem.

Warmth, positivity and laughter at a time when the world is seemingly collapsing around us. The world needs more Billies and fewer Tories.

There are no words really to describe how wonderful this man is. My whole life he has made me laugh and his books are brilliant and transport me to a world my parents knew

"i was next to Bob Dilan an it felt like heaven" that should be in a song ! Beautifu. x

OHMYGOD!! I've wondered about the Highland Cow as well--i never dreamed someone else would ask that!! :) That being said, Sir Connolly is right: there's already some fabulous Heeland Coo art out there. I bought a lovely set of prints from a local artist in Forfar this summer as gifts for family. If anybody else loves cow art, I'm happy to pass her name on, i'd just need to go look it up and don't want to appear rude discussing the art of another ;)

Sir!!! You are a Legend. Your standup in the 80s was truly amazing. Lots of love and respect man x

Having discovered Billy about 15 years ago might have literally saved my life. He made me laugh when I was going through a bad stage in my life.❤

You are SO special! Thank you SO much for al the JOY you''''''ve given so freely to all of us!
