If you would like BILLY CONNOLLY'S Double at your event.....
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!!!

Tuesday, 4 August 2020
Wow! I finally remembered ma password! Here we are in August 2020. What in the name of Holy Mary is going on? These days I walk intae a shop in a mask tae buy some milk, eggs and bread. If that had been six months ago the staff would have phoned the polis!!! The entertainment world has died along with my so-called career. However, I don't give a shit! I have found a new life, binge-watching all the things I missed when I would have been working. "Outnumbered" - "Scott and Bailey" - "After Life" - "Innocent Man" - "Friday Night Dinner" etc etc.
My next appearance as Billy Connolly is New Year's Eve 2020. Where? I can't even remember, it's somewhere on my email. đ
