This awesome performance is by Billy Connolly,
from his Infamous 1981 Bites Yer Bum tour!
I played this on the show recently and a
caller asked me if that was The Big Yin.
Yup!
Billy started off as a folk singer, slowly but steadily
migrating towards comedy as things progressed.
Married to Pamela Stephenson, formerly of Not
the 9:00 News, he has been an actor, comedian,
musician, and artist.
His bio is a very interesting read, he easily could
have been a casualty of the times…abuse, neglect
and the general hardships of growing up during
World War 2, but he worked hard and focused to
became the legend that he is.
This is a superb performance, he gives it his all.
I’ll bet he ‘s still looking for those two bits…
