billy connolly is the strangest comedian ever

As was Spike Milligan.

I went to a Lenny Henry gig,I had to tell jokes to myself it was that bad

Can you give me any example of Connolly being hilarious? I've only ever seen him either shouting or looking quizzically lost as if one of life's great mysteries has haunted his every waking thought for years followed by the obligatory falling about laughing.

no cos whatever i say youll say im retarded and that wasnt funny!

Go on utube EET plenty examples there. Saw him live a few times and he was briliant.

You cretin. You do realise he's in remission from prostate cancer and has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

Lol facts.

i do yeah, whats that gotta do with owt??

Very sensitive of you

Ddnt billyconnolly make a joke about that ken bigley who was ultimately executed.  BC not exactly sensitive and wouldnt be bothered by anything bob says, but sure he appreciates your misguided support Facts you clown.

yes he said i wish they'd get on with it and execute him.

so it was reported

He was the mould most stand-up comedians have used for themselves. In his time brilliant, though a lot of his stuff hasn't worn well.

Without doubt one of the funniest comics I ever saw live.

Was sexually abused by his father....(has done very well considering)

Wiki :

Connolly has been married to his second wife, comedian and psychologist Pamela Stephenson, since 1989. In the book Billy, and in a December 2008 online interview, Connolly states that he was sexually abused by his father between the ages of 10 and 15.
    He believes this was a result of the Catholic Church not allowing his father to divorce after his mother left the family.
    Because of this, Connolly has a "deep distrust and dislike of the Catholic church and any other organization that brainwashes people".[29] On his religious views, Connolly called himself an atheist.

Strangely enough he also says being fiddled with by his own dad was not an unpleasant experience.

Certainly an open minded and forgiving individual unless you are one of his hecklers.

not my cup of tea but each to his own.
