Billy Connolly: Live in New York

As a big Billy Connolly fan I was looking forward to this. I owned a lot of his older stuff when I lived in Scotland but since moving to the US though, they seem to be unavailable in US format so seeing as this is one of the few that IS available I snapped it up.I was a wee bit disappointed with this one as it's not as funny as a lot of his other stand-up's and there is material in this one that has been done a lot before BUT that is really my only main disappointment with this one.The usual Billy traits are in this one as well from wether it's him addressing people in the audience or his unmistakable talent of going off on a tangent onto other stories and "jokes" then coming back to somehow remember what he was talking about in the first place! I've always loved the way he tells his stories from when he was growing up to talking about things that he does (and we all do) and manages to make us laugh at ourselves. He also manages to make everyday things that happen seem funny as well. For example, in this one watch out for one of his stories about a certain little old lady on a bus in Clydebank. I won't say any more than that as I don't want to ruin it for you, but it's just a classic example of what I mean about him making fun of everyday things.This is still pure vintage Billy Connolly and even though it does cover older things I would still recommend buying it!!

Connolly, a Scot, speaks an endearing sort of English that enhances his performance. Some of his riffs are unforgettable, like the guy who trains suicide bombers: "Listen very carefully, I'm only going to say this once..." A pity he made only one touring stop in New York; now nearly 70, we may not see him again over here so this disc is the best way to enjoy his humor.

Funny.

Be prepared to laugh your socks off! Billy is just hilarious. Naughty language in this DVD and the content is not for kids. Stories are great and I just love the Scottish accent. Can't wait to get more of his stuff.

This Video was from Venezuela and is not compatible with many DVD players in the States

I've looked for this for ages. The hilarious Billy Connolly is hard to find on this side of the pond. Thanks!

Part of Billy Connolly's act is that of a distracted old man; jump to another topic while in the middle of a story, and work his way back to it. I love the style because it adds humor, but i noticed something.This DVD uses alot of the material from 'Was it something i said?' Sure there are differences, but I paid for two seperate specials and got, like, 1.68 fresh comedy.B.C. is hilarious, but i just want to throw out that warning.Hope this helped! :)

... with the exception of two bits, this is NOT the material we saw at the Too Old to Die Young performance at 37 Arts in NYC.I have mixed feelings, because I had a chance to see some other great material on the DVD; but I was disappointed, because I REALLY wanted to have a chance to re-live some hilarious moments we saw live.If you're looking to get a video of the NYC performances, this isn't it. If you're looking for some fresh, fun stuff from Billy, it's right here.

I love this guy he is so funny cheers up all the time 😅😅🤣🤣

Brilliant, just love Billy. Great dvd. Been lucky enough to see him twice now, one of our best comedians.
