Billy Connolly - Billy Bites Yer Bum Live / Hand Picked By Billy DVD

Advantages: Mostly new material
Disadvantages: Not the standard you would expect

...a " down " day , ten minutes with Billy is guaranteed to have me rolling around , helpless with laughter , whether I choose the classic " Billy and Albert " , " The Pick of Billy Connolly " , " Billy Bites Yer Bum " or one of the newer world tour compilations . It's the blend of quirky thoughts , alternative views on life , harshly funny childhood memories and strange but hilarious songs that makes the trademark " Billy " session what it is . For example , his loud , gritty and passionate ( though completely sick and warped ) rendition of " Tell Laura I Love Her " which had both me and my daughter Laura in tears of laughter for so long that we had to rewind the tape by fifteen minutes to see the bits we had missed through sheer helplessness . This is the song I swear I am insisting on having played at my funeral just to see if she can... Read review

...●Introduction● I think Billy Connolly is possibly the best comedian of all time. In Scotland Billy is known as "The big Yin", meaning he's tall. In this review I'll be telling you a little about Billy Connolly and a lot about his DVD, Billy and Albert DVD. I'll give you a quick outline if your not too familiar with Billy, even though he's known worldwide. This is my first review on DVD's so please be patient, and sorry if I accidentally give away any spoilers, but I'll try my best not to. Warning! This may have a little bit of bad language in it as it accompanies Billy and Billy wouldn't quite be Billy if he didn't swear. Billy Connolly was born on the 24th of November 1942, in Glasgow. He was brought up in the Anderton and Patrick areas of Glasgow. If anyone reading this lives in these area's I'd be so jelous. When he... Read review
