sbcmfc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Saw him get his award at the NTAs last night. Was quite hard viewing, he's deteriorated a lot since I last saw him on TV. (Was like watching Mohammed Ali with the Olympic torch that time...) Anyway, one of my favourites, I listened to on an audio cassette as a kid, it was about going for a shite in the shipyards and somebody setting a rolled up paper on fire and dropping it in the trough....

Marky Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ivan the terrible and the crucifixion are my favourites Ha ha. Funny Bonzo. Was just thinking there and those were the very two that came into my head. He used to do loads of wee songs too and my favourite of those was the Janny Song. An Audience with Billy Connelly in the mid 80s was utterly hilarious and sadly (for me anyway) was the last good stand up he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I forgot about the crucifixion! There's one about meeting a girl at a dance and taking her to the graveyard. Probably found that one funnier as a teenage boy than I might now. The line "I want a slut, a whore" and some of the actions are hilarious. Saw him live at the armadillo about 8 years ago, I'd heard he'd walked off after about 45 minutes the night before, and felt the early part of the show was a bit slow, I think I was worried he'd disappoint. He then came on after an interval and was brilliant for another 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Think my favourites would be the crusafiction and the story about the welder with the wire loop round his head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he was probably just trying to keep pace with the so called "alternative" comedians of the day. He should've just stuck to his guns and did what he was good at.

I had heard chubby brown on tape but Connolly was much more funny with it. Edited January 21, 2016 by bonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnbruman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I saw him at the apollo in glasgow in 1980 ..absolutely brilliant ..very raw and hard hitting..saw him again in blackpool early 2000s ..he was on stage for three hours non stop ..like a roller coaster ride going from amusing to mearly wetting yourself. A true story telling genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_burger Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My favourite of his stand ups was the 1994 tour. Had it on vhs years ago - he talks about wildebeests at one point, not running away from lions because there are no mirrors on the Serengeti plain and they don't know they are wildebeests. Mind cracking up the first time I heard it Saw him a few years back in the armadillo. He was still very good considering how long he has been on the go.

Fairbairn Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) So many it's difficult to narrow it done. A couple that spring immediately to mind are "First grey pubic hair", "He's putting his legs in the eiderdown", "The big slipper" and I remember one about trying not to cry after his dad has smacked his arse that had me in tears at the time. The drunk on the nightbus was quite good too. Ding ding!!! Edited January 22, 2016 by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the Lions, Agnes "shhhh" he's screaming at the telly, the story about drinking the water abroad and everyone getting the shits at the same time. Prescription windscreen.
