HULLO!! - HOW ARE YE DOIN'?
Welcome to my Billy Connolly Tribute website - or as Sir Sean Connery says "Welcome to my webshite!"
The first time I met Billy he said "I bet you get some stick lookin' like that!" - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
I have appeared across the U.K./Europe as Billy Connolly at festivals, comedy clubs, parties, Burn's Suppers, weddings and product launches since 1999.
You can find how to book me by Googling "Billy Connolly Tribute Act"

KILMARNOCK!!!.....
Last Tuesday evening - attended opening night of "DEAR BILLY" - a new play by Gary McNair @garymcnair, Directed by Joe Douglas at the Palace Theatre. We turned up unannounced for the show and bumped into Joe Douglas at the door. Joe was totally taken aback and grabbed me!! He says "I can't believe I am hugging BILLY CONNOLLY!!!" I had to whisper in his ear "I'm no' really Billy!" Joe was unconvinced until my wife Marian came over and said "What's going on here, then?" Embarrassed introductions followed! (I wisnae even dressed like Billy - nae roond specs or anything!) Great show BTW! - THEN - Wednesday lunchtime had the best time with the folks at St Marnock's Place. 12.30pm "show" (actually I sat round a table with Janet, Nessie, Rose & Eddie, Alex & Janet, Auld Hugh and Big Hugh (The Ballachulish Butcher!) We had a sing-song to wellies, divorce, etc, told loads of jokes and stories and had a 15 minute break for Fish&Chips!!! Also did a "Get Well Soon" video for Isabel who was missing on the day! Great fun!!

BACK IN ACTION!!!
WELL HELLOOOOOAH!!! I have spent nearly a year trying to access this Blog/Website because my domain name expired and every time I tried to google it I was diverted to a CHINESE website covered in ideograms (ideograms - that sounds like messages sent via twatter) - this site appeared to be advertising either dog food or dogs AS food. Why they would buy BillyConnearly.com to advertise something in Mandarin beats me, folks! The new domain name is www.billyconnollytributeact.com Anyway ah'm back and after 2 years enforced rest from being the Big Yin I actually did a gig just before Christmas. A great audience at Mottram St Andrew in Cheshire had a right laugh at some good old-fashioned non-PC stories. I was onstage for over an hour and I got my appetite for performing right back!!!
