I went to see Billy Connolly back in the early 90s. There was no warm up act, just him. He came on at 8pm sharp and didn't stop talking for almost 3 hours. No interval, nothing. I thought I'd die laughing! I could hardly move the next day - my abdominal muscles were so sore 🤣
One of the best comedians Britain has ever produced. This man was hugely talented and back in his glory years, he could leave you rolling 😂 in the aisles when you went to watch him. So sorry to hear that he has Parkinson's. God bless you Mr Connolly ❤ 😊
My mother came to check on my pained wails only to find my eyes covered with tears & unable to breath, thanks billy and thanks brad and lucy for the NDE nostalgia
This is one of my all-time favourite Billy Connolly bits. I know every word, but it still made me laugh so much and so hard that I almost hurt myself several times. My back and my stomach were in bits. I haven't even seen it in years and it's just as screamingly funny as the first time I saw it (I hurt back then, too). Amazing. Billy is on another level next to every other comedian in my book.
It wasn't because of desalination. Ibizas water in the 70s and 80s was very poorly treated. Full of germs so anyone not used to the water would get the shits for a couple days. Spain was much the same.
Never seen this clip of Billy Connolly before , I was like Brad , dying with laughter ,my stomachs aching . This happened to me on holiday in Egypt .🇬🇧
Both times I saw Billy Connolly live, I said the same thing you said as I came out of the theatre - I laughed myself out. I laughed so much I couldn't laugh any more, just whimper and moan. Still the funniest man of my lifetime, and i'm scarily close to 60.
Ibiza (pronounced IH-bee-tha or Eye-bee-tha in English) is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Italy and is the smallest of the Balearic Islands. Well known for it's nightlife.
I saw Billy in a show in London in 1983 - one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I was still aching the next day from laughing so hard, and your reaction in this video reminded me of how I reacted to his show. I’m so glad that you love his comedy as much as I do, Brad and Lucy - here’s to many more excerpts like this one soon ❤😂
😄 🤣 Oh my gosh this was so funny!! I was laughing so hard and was holding my stomach as Brad said his stomach hurt. 😄 The sound affects, oh my gosh!!! 😅
Many years ago, I done a gig that was some sort of charity ball and Billy was a guest. He was asked to say a few words but he didn't want to as he was just a guest, but he gave in. Funniest unrehearsed routine ever.
Orillia will do that to ya.....lol! If I ever stop howling at toilet humour then I'll stop breathing and my epitaph will be "Farts ARE Funny!" Thanks guys and cheers from Peterborough
I had the same experiance. I knew not to drink the water but I bought 4 croissants (bread) from a Spanish bakery. I did'nt know they used tapwater to make them. I sat two days of my vacation on the toilet. Pfffft. BIG mistake! 😳😳😳
Of all the sketches Sir Billy did, for me this is the Mona Lisa of his work. Three of the best bits come at 4:40, 5:57 and 7:25. One of the greatest entertainers of his generation. ❤ 😊
Thought Brad might expire from all the laughing there for a moment! Have CDs of Billy that I play in the car, which include that routine - never gets old. Daresay I could nearly recite it word for word 😊
Seen him at the Sydney Opera House back in the 80s. At one point I was on my knees in front of my chair laughing. Wishing he would stop, and a long 2 to 3 hour show. Funniest thing I have ever seen. Most of the show was based on this observations about Australia. Then Mark Knopler from Dire Straits played his steel guitar and Billy his Autoharp. Doing Waltzing Matilda (Australian Folk Song). What a night.
Ibiza (uh-BEE-thuh) is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean, and famous as a party music venue, and before that a cheap holiday destination. Billy is a phenomenon. Amazingly, much of his comedy was done completely off the cuff - fantastc stream of conscious anecdote after anecdote. Amazing stuff. (PS - I think you're right about the parasympathetic nerve, but it's years since I did my psych MSc!)
I was fortunate enough that when I had that experience there was a sink next to the toilet because it simultaneously came out of both ends. I mean, what's the fucking point of having running water that's so brown and filthy that you can't even wash in it let alone drink it. I honestly thought brad was going to have a cardiac arrest. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
Your reaction was same as mine when I first heard the CD this was on, "Live At Hammersmith Odeon". Actually I had to replay it several times because I laughed over him so much! Bought it when new as an expensive import ($30-ishCDN in 1991 or maybe '92). Whole CD was one 48-minute-long track. Lost the disc to a Scottish friend, but he's long forgiven...
strangely regarding water, I went to see a Michael Caine comedy movie in '85 called Water. Billy Connolly played an activist named Delgado. at the time I had no idea who he was. he's a brilliant story teller.
The 'Wee Beige Jobby' is a classic routine & his appearance on the UK chat show Parkinson, with US actress Angie Dickinson as one of the guests, contains a story about an American gig that went a bit wrong and resulted in a killer one line gag that had the studio audience in hysterics. There're another Parkinson show, his first ever appearance on UK TV, where he told a joke about a guy who bragged he murdered his wife. The punch line is a beauty and he was told beforehand not to tell the gag on TV...but he did anyway. I think both clips are on YT, well worth a look.
Yup, the day or two after going to one of Billy's gigs and you feel like your "chuckle muscle" has been given a workout by Mike Tyson for 10 rounds! You just cannot move!
For the record I am Norwegian But for some fluke or the universe decided to give me a break. I got 2 tickets to see Billy in Glasgow. And my stepdad is Scottish. and my aunt live in Glasgow. Imagine that phonecall.. Neil.. wanne see billy in glasgow ? How the fuck did you manage that ?
Reminds of the wonderful John Thompson , and very much much missed Caroline Ahern sketch with the amazing line ' could have s**t through the eye of a needle' from the comedy The Fast Show ua-cam.com/video/n5P-uZqm0RE/v-deo.html
As a very general rule, I have found that the further west you travel the softer the water is and the more troublesome it can be. I am Irish born and bred but I have to now live in UK for work. And I find a lot of the time, I have the shits when I go home to Dublin, purely because the water is softer. This theory of travelling west is purely down to water softness or hardness and not anything to do with bacteria. Obviously if you are stupid enough to go to places like South Asia; specifically but not only India, then everything there is just shit as the whole place is one big sewer, so you will get ill if not die from eating or drinking anything there.

Me too - Hammersmith Odeon (as it was called then). I cried with laughter the whole time. Brilliant.
I was actually worried about brad for a minute there 😂😂

Billy Connorly is the best in my opinion story/joke teller. He puts his entire body and soul into it and it's like your actually there.
Am crying 😭 😂 oh my, he is just the funniest story teller, and he doesn’t lie, all true stories ☝️👍💯
My mother came to check on my pained wails only to find my eyes covered with tears & unable to breath, thanks billy and thanks brad and lucy for the NDE nostalgia
The first time i saw this routine I thought I was going to die.
Man I’m so grateful we have good tap water in Canada such a blessing that we have so much fresh water 🇨🇦🇨🇦
This is one of my all-time favourite Billy Connolly bits. I know every word, but it still made me laugh so much and so hard that I almost hurt myself several times.

billy connolly is the best ever
The first time I went to Ibiza we made a cup of tea not realising the tap water wasn't desalinated! Euch!!!

I remember watching this DVD years ago. I'd forgotten how funny it was. Thanks for reminding me.

Ha, ha, wonderful humor, fantastic.
the politest description I've ever heard is a biological accident
😄 🤣 Oh my gosh this was so funny!! I was laughing so hard and was holding my stomach as Brad said his stomach hurt. 😄 The sound affects, oh my gosh!!! 😅
Many years ago, I done a gig that was some sort of charity ball and Billy was a guest. He was asked to say a few words but he didn't want to as he was just a guest, but he gave in. Funniest unrehearsed routine ever.
His sound effects are just as funny as his story 😂
Great reaction, Brad's T-shirt is possessed.

Jeez Brad I really feared for your safety during that video, I thought you were going to die laughing 😂
Thought Brad might expire from all the laughing there for a moment! Have CDs of Billy that I play in the car, which include that routine - never gets old. Daresay I could nearly recite it word for word 😊
You've probably seen a few comedians telling all these jokes,but billy did it when it was "oh my god did he just say that"😂
Love me some Billy Connoly!! He's funny!

I was in tatters watching Brad!🤣😂😅
