Summary
In December 2018, after fifty years of belly-laughs, energy and outrage, Billy Connolly announced his retirement from live stand-up comedy. Back in the sixties, Billy played the banjo in the folk clubs of Scotland and, improvising between songs, learned what made audiences laugh. Soon he was recognised as one of the most exciting comedians of his generation. Billy never wrote scripts, always creating his comedy freshly on stage, and he brought a beautiful sense of the absurd to his shows as he riffed on his family, hecklers, swimming in the North Sea, or naked bungee jumping - as well as sex, politics, and religion. TALL TALES AND WEE STORIES brings together the best of Billy's storytelling for the first time. An inspirational and riotously funny read, it's a fitting celebration of our greatest ever comedian
