He just finished his UK tour, but he skipped Ireland and not for the first time. It's a real slap in the face to all his fans in Ireland, a place he's always talked about with fondness before. He's played Australia, America, Canada, and the UK, surely a few dates over here wasn't going to harm him in any way?I just want to know if he's ever going to play here again or not, I don't want to waste my time checking his website to see he's changed his mind. Pissed-off Connolly Fan.

Saw the Big Yin live once - almost wet myself with laughter. He has a knack of taking the normal everyday things in life and finding a funny side. This comedian is a must see, must hear, must meet guy. I will never look at Scotland again without a smile on my face.

I can honestly say I've never laughed so hard. At several points the whole audience was gagging for air. Still on top form. I suspect many of those who trash him haven't even seen him live.

Saw Billy at the Hammersmith Apollo, and he's far from lost it. I personally thought he was consistently brilliant for the full three hours. OK, so the Ken Bigley comments were a tad misjudged, but if some unknown comic said the same things in a students' union bar, no bugger would bat an eyelid. Connolly's delivery and material still exceeds much of the dross peddled by newer comedians.

I suggest that is is the media who are seeking sensation and hence profit on the back of another countryman's desperate suffering. Billy's shows had already sold out completely before he even made those comments, so he was gaining nothing, simply voicing an opinion. If you're looking for the real cowards, turn to the media, not Billy Connolly.

Obviously he's a legend, but that dosen't mean he can't f**k up now and again. Silly old bugger, absolutley no need to mention the Thai bride...

Hamish, October 2004

The Big Yin ... the Big Git ... The BIGgot ... the Big Shit ... would be more like it. His ego and his arrogance have let him forget his own humble beginnings. At least his yellow banana boots mirror the colour of his backbone; what an insensitive coward the man is, seeking sensation and hence profit on the back of another countryman's desperate suffering.

Stephen Taylor, October 2004

Maybe my expectations were too high but i left the Apollo on Friday feeling somewhat disappointed. Mediocre anecdotes interspersed with swearing to make them appear funnier. The crowd around me seemed to love it but I will stick to watching him on video from now on.
