The legend that is Billy Connolly is a huge name throughout the world, but some of the younger generation may be unaware of how truly brilliant he is.
The retired comedian, actor, writer, singer, and presenter has been active on the arts scene since 1965 and has consistently been a part of Scottish culture. Known affectionately as the Big Yin, Billy has shaped how people view Glasgow as a city with his numerous tales of growing up a young Scottish lad in the Anderston area.
Consistently performing and recording between 1972 and 2016, Billy has numerous honours to his name and is adored by the world as arguably one of the greatest comedians to ever step on stage. Most recently, he was the recipient of a BAFTA Fellowship to mark his excellent 50-year career, which was stopped due to his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
