One of the greatest comics Britain has ever produced. The relentless energy was astounding and his storytelling skills are fantastic. One of the few who can have you in stitches 😂 throughout his performance. Thanks for the memories Sir Billy ❤ 😊
The term 'national treasure' has never applied to anyone on this planet as much as it does to the big yin. It almost doesnt do him justice. An icon of a human being let alone an entertainer.
I am so glad they're awarding this to him while he's still got all his marbles and can appreciate fully how adored he is. Billy Connolly will always be my fantasy Dad, the proudest Glaswegian, and the absolute BEST comedian of all time. Billy, you are eternal. Love you so much.
Actually PD can have a pretty bad impact on someone's cognitive function and memory and as it progresses it can there's a strong possibility of developing dementia. This is far more than a disease that effects the body
Sorry Mr Swan , but ModernSense presented the correct science via a simple question. The magnificent Mr Connolly Is facing his situation head on, and I bet he wants people to know the facts....
+Hannah Sheridan the bagpipes and kilts give ye goosebumps then seeing billy standing there motionless because of the parkinsons just puts a lump in yer throat.. such a horrible disease to have, I feel so proud to be Scottish whenever i see this man.
From Holland : love this man , he makes me laugh every single moment , he is the funniest , great character, great man and it brakes my heart to see him like this , why..just why...
Billy is the one person in the world that could be diagnosed with parkinson's, tell it to "fuck off" and then to carry on enjoying his life. He would hate this title but he is one of the true saints of our time. He has dragged me through many horrible moments with his hilarious and most down to earth personality.
I was lucky enough to see him at Hammersmith 4 or 5 years ago...maybe more and he did 3 hours, no break, no script and i was sore laughing....genius of a man who's humour is simple and honest, and we all recognise the people he talks about....total class and always one of us :)
Still windswept and interesting. I can't thank this man enough for all the genuniune soul rattling, belly shaking laughs, and showing the world an admirable perspective on literally everything - well deserved
I hate to see an illness affecting Billy. He's made people laugh and be entertained for decades, he deserves much more. I don't suppose anybody gets healthier as they get older. Sad.
One of the greatest pieces of physical/dialogue comedy ever performed. My American wife was laughing beyond endurance and in need of oxygen watching Billy's genius at work.
No one on the planet has made me laugh more. I admire his strength performing while suffering from Parkinson's but am not surprised either. Love you Bill! 💋
Watching his videos and listening to him got me through my stage 4 cancer battle with a smile and happy tears. That was 8 years ago and I still watch several of his videos every day.
@@larlacey9922 Thank you. I’m doing well now. It was stage 4 head and neck cancer. Have a farm in the middle of the USA and my livestock, is cats. I rescue cats. Had my mind on winning that fight because someone had to take care of the cats. Turned my barn into a large cat home. At 69 gets a little expensive at times but doing ok. They are happy, healthy and well fed. And safe from predators. Now dealing with my wife suffering from stage 4 cancer in every major bone in her body. A kickback from stage 4 breast cancer she had 5 years ago.
Never in the history of comedy or indeed humanity has there ever been a greater man than Billy Connolly. I only hope he knows how he helped us all and how impressed we all are.
@@druss69harad61 wtf did you say that for???.. if its my spelling or something why be nasty you don't know what problems I have. Like the big yin would give a toss!
Makes me proud to be Scottish. Nobody has ever made me laugh so much..... His story of the woman on the bus had me crying earlier.. One of his best stories .. God bless you billy.
My Dad knew him from the folk music scene and he actually stayed over at our house a few times. It was back when he used to drink so he and my dad would often be passed out on the sofa the next morning. Nothing like seeing him snoring in just his underwear to make a 6 year old's day. He and my father have kept in touch and I've had the pleasure of meeting him several times while my father spent time with him and he found my memories of the sofa and the underwear very funny. The Parkinsons diagnosis hit everyone hard but he remains a brave and funny man.
i remember having to stop watching one of his shows on VHS back in the day and go outside to breath. he has always cracked me up even watching those clips i had tears running down my face.
I'm English, of Scots-Irish origin. So I feel justified in loving Billy Connolly as the finest comic performer I have ever seen. He's loved around the world in a unique and passionate way.
Well, he is very strongly Scots in his appeal, but that doesn't prevent people who don't feel about things the way the Scots do (e.g. the English) from loving his material snd style of delivery. Sorry, I haven't expressed myself well...
Well OK. People are people. But the Scots detest the English - which is something (in my opinion only) that the English will have to find a way of dealing with, going forward. The strange thing is: the English like and admire the Scots in an uncomplicated way.... (generally speaking). The big question is: can they prevent Nicola Sturgeon from breaking up the UK? Answer: Probably not.
I love Billy! An absolute Legend!!! Great Song too!! He’s a Comedy Hero! And He’ll keep going as long as he can! That’s a brave man!! Dustin is a Class Act too!!
As an American I was lucky enough to be mesmerized at a young age when he was on a show called, "Head of the Class." I have loved Billy for over 30 years and could not be more delighted for him ❤
I remember that Des O'connor and Roger Whittaker both brought The Sky Boat song to the charts as both of them are dead now as I am dedicating this song to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
What a magnificent human being Billy Connoly is! There is no words to describe the joy this man has giving us all for so many years. I am just so thankful for Billy Connoly being in our lives for so many years, giving us all more than anyone else.
I could listen to Billy’s story’s all day every day , he could narrate anything and I would be completely in awe. He has this warmth about him and when he speaks and says anything it’s totally relatable. Cheers big yin
growing up in the 80's my parents would only let me stay up late 2 nights a year. Christmas eve and Comic Relief. Even though every kid loves Christmas, Comic relief was my favourite because I got to see Billy for the first time. That image of the kids all grabbing at his straggly hair in Ethiopia is still one of the most enduring images for famine relief in the world and one of my earliest memories. Definitely Scotland's jester. I would say he's the king but Sean Connery has that sown up
"The jobby wheeker " and the poor lady who flew off the bus as it turned the corner. I love this man he reminds me of my grandfather who died sadly but when I watch our Billy perform i smile with admiration .
Wow, such a great man and such a devastating condition. You can really see it affecting him in this clip and its such a shame, get well soon Big Yin, we're all behind you!
Im so happy for him, he is so funny, he is my inspiration, he is amazing and I was in tears when I heard him, im only 10 and I like him very much, go billy!
still recall his early days....story about pissing in a bottle of wine on a bus and throwing it out the window.......' your wine's rotten' :)...thanks Billy.....
I have grown up listening to laughing uncontrollably ( sometimes I honestly thought I would die laughing with his well timed humour ) and loving Billy. Someone else said in the comments that whenever he is back with some new material it really does feel like you are catching up with an old and dear friend. To see him mature in nature and relax for want of a better word I am sure was all down to his lovely wife giving him a new perspective on past events and helping him come to terms and accept those things he had no power to change. To see Billy with this illness now is just so very cruel but as always Billy manages to take the subject, turn it on its head and make you laugh. God Bless you Billy, you are truly loved by the world over. I sometimes wish you should have been prime minister as that would have United this country like never before!
Nice to hear him pay tribute to all British comedians we have quite a few who all helped to raise the bar for today’s stand up comedy, but it was Billy Connolly that lead the way.
I love you so much billy. Biggest fan of your work. Me and my friends have been in tears watching you perform. Legendary never be another one of you. Your the god of comedians
What a fitting and amazing moment, the applause was super! I first watched him do 'Billy bites yer bum' round a friends house the day I got my GCSE's in 2003, best thing I did. It got me into standup and I never looked back. I got to see him in Brighton in 2015, an incredible moment. Just wish I could have a conversation with him. A legend!
I have had the amazing good fortune. After many years as a professional Musician, I fell into becoming a BILLY CONNOLLY Lookalike. I developed into a Billy Connolly Tribute Act. I have had some of the best experiences of my life looking like Billy, especially in innocent incidents in the community....for example....outside a pub, somebody taking the piss...."Hey, that's Billy Connolly!" Me.."Oh, d'ye fuckin' think so??" It works every time and always leads to a few laughs"
Good Sir,heads up you've been the finest sincere honourable affable gentleman throughout all of your career as an entertainer comedian and welder may your retirement be long prosperous and enjoyable including all those closest to you and with and for you all the way,salute integrity warmth and honour in every manner
CONGTATS ❤ U PRECIOUS MAN BILLY CONNELLY THE GREATEST COMEDIAN U HAVE DELIGHTED ALL FOR YEARS 🌟🌟 IM SPEELESS N IN AEE OF U..50YRS FUCK.. LOVE U WHAT A GIFT U ATE N WE HAVE KEEP WELL PET 😙😙 AUGUST 1ST 2017

Billy, Dustin Hoffman & Robin Williams were very close friends, like talk every day mates 💙 Michael Parkinson also 👍 Robin Williams called him to say he loved him before he passed away 😭😢
Sad to see what Parkinsons has done to him, but still, for me, the greatest comedian ever! I have never laughed so hard and so much at anyone else. I think the physical actions he did to complement the vocal is something that's lost now. Comedians just stand there and say stuff...he acted out scenes, sometimes with multiple characters. A legend. Pissed they didn't show the performance section though. Guess I'll have to go check some out.
One of the greatest comics Britain has ever produced. The relentless energy was astounding and his storytelling skills are fantastic. One of the few who can have you in stitches 😂 throughout his performance. Thanks for the memories Sir Billy ❤ 😊
I really love the way Lee Mack is looking at him... pure respect and adoration.
DerKleineTroll so true
Lee Mack is a very good actor.
Lee Mack made me cry. I love lee and seeing how he looked at billy❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Just hearing Billy Connolly's name puts a smile on your face, not many people can achieve that. LEGEND.
The term 'national treasure' has never applied to anyone on this planet as much as it does to the big yin. It almost doesnt do him justice. An icon of a human being let alone an entertainer.
Billy Connolly is an International Treasure, beloved worldwide.
Beautiful. Tear in my eye, lump in my throat. Everyone grows old but always sad to see. Such a legend and a fucking Scottish legend. x
I am so glad they're awarding this to him while he's still got all his marbles and can appreciate fully how adored he is. Billy Connolly will always be my fantasy Dad, the proudest Glaswegian, and the absolute BEST comedian of all time. Billy, you are eternal. Love you so much.
+Aleks Persson He will always have his "marbles"; that is not how this terrible disease works.He is losing control of his body, not his mind.
Well said.....
Aleks Persson lol love it "fantasy dad " good one

Hello Dianna
how are you doing today?
Billy is such a legend, one of my favourite people to ever walk the earth. Long live the Big Yin!
Can't believe this amazingly gifted and extremely funny national treasure hasn't been knighted yet
stewiebhoy89 They only Knight peodophiles and wankers like Jimmy Saville and Cliff Richard..
Well he has now!!!
Well He Is Sir Billy Connolly,
The Scottish should be proud of him, and that’s from an Englishman. Love this guy.
Don't worry we are
Scott Kindness yass lad we are
Extremely proud of the big yin
He's a Scotsman ofc we love him
We are.
I hate to see an illness affecting Billy.
He's made people laugh and be entertained for decades, he deserves much more.
I don't suppose anybody gets healthier as they get older.
Sad.
Billy's tale of the guy at the disco trying to dance in his incontinence pants cracks me up to this day.
Brilliant comedian.
One of the greatest pieces of physical/dialogue comedy ever performed.
My American wife was laughing beyond endurance and in need of oxygen watching Billy's genius at work.
Get ark. I love that sketch.
I love that as well. also the story about the latrine at the shipyard. I'm an American and I now call my turds a "wee jobbie".
ua-cam.com/video/1TGv9YftAWQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dex
Absolutely love Billy! Willies and the Wellies was my first experience of hearing Billy. I never stopped laughing after that!
No one on the planet has made me laugh more. I admire his strength performing while suffering from Parkinson's but am not surprised either. Love you Bill! 💋
True legend and the best comedian on earth in my opinion.
Billy Connelly is the father of stand up comedy.
:-Robin Williams.
thanku NTA FOR giving the king of comedy an award. so so so deserved to a great human being and great soul. love u billy connolly.
Watching his videos and listening to him got me through my stage 4 cancer battle with a smile and happy tears.

Lee Mack's face says it all. He is a comedy god.
Billy Connolly,the worlds finest comic.
Never in the history of comedy or indeed humanity has there ever been a greater man than Billy Connolly. I only hope he knows how he helped us all and how impressed we all are.
Parkinson's looks like it's catching up to him. It breaks my heart to see it. There will never be another Billy

It is relentless and sad.
Yes it's an evil f**king disease. But his mind is still thete.

@@druss69harad61 wtf did you say that for???.. if its my spelling or something why be nasty you don't know what problems I have.
Like the big yin would give a toss!
Billy Is a legend not only In comedy but his travel documentary's too
i met him in glasgows city centre and he was so funny, told me a funny story about his friend with the same name as me and i got a pic with him
Makes me proud to be Scottish. Nobody has ever made me laugh so much.....
His story of the woman on the bus had me crying earlier.. One of his best stories ..
God bless you billy.

As a fellow Scot I have to say, Billy, you are the greatest Scot since Rabbie Burns - you are just wonderful!!
This man is the best comedian Britain could ever produce growing up he had me in stitches he deserves this award and so much more 🙂🙂😊😊
throughly deserved , he's alway been and always will be my favourite comedian :) a truly funny man with a wonderfully colourful life x
Saw him in London in the 1970s. I have never laughed so much i was sitting in the isle crying with laughter. He is a national treasure
I wish we had special recognition awards given by surprise in the United States! This is a wonderful tribute!
You don’t need to be Scottish to feel your blood bubble when the pipes start up ❤️
Screw you parkinsons. Keep fighting Big Yin
i remember having to stop watching one of his shows on VHS back in the day and go outside to breath. he has always cracked me up even watching those clips i had tears running down my face.
I had to stop his video because my dad was laughing way too much, dad had just had a triple heart bypass...don't watch billy after having one of them.
beautiful, emotional rendition of The Skye Boat song! Best interpretation I have heard to date.
I'm English, of Scots-Irish origin. So I feel justified in loving Billy Connolly as the finest comic performer I have ever seen. He's loved around the world in a unique and passionate way.
Bouncybon Well said. 👌
why has your origins got anything to do with being justified in loving him
Well, he is very strongly Scots in his appeal, but that doesn't prevent people who don't feel about things the way the Scots do (e.g. the English) from loving his material snd style of delivery. Sorry, I haven't expressed myself well...
Bouncybon I don't want to start an argument, but I have never met a scot or englishperson or welshperson who in essence are not exactly the same.
Well OK. People are people. But the Scots detest the English - which is something (in my opinion only) that the English will have to find a way of dealing with, going forward. The strange thing is: the English like and admire the Scots in an uncomplicated way.... (generally speaking). The big question is: can they prevent Nicola Sturgeon from breaking up the UK? Answer: Probably not.
Billy is a proud Scot and a proud Brit.He has also served.God bless him.
I had the greatest night of my life seeing the Big Yin live on stage in Cape town . Laughed with him for over fifty years . Proud to be a Scot .
I love Billy! An absolute Legend!!! Great Song too!! He’s a Comedy Hero! And He’ll keep going as long as he can! That’s a brave man!! Dustin is a Class Act too!!
Hello Hazel
how are you doing today?

A guy that makes you laugh outloud and not just sit and smile , there are so few like that
My favourit comedian - very moving. He must have been greatly moved as well, so much that he forgot to acknowledge his wife... :-)
What a magnificent human being Billy Connoly is! There is no words to describe the joy this man has giving us all for so many years. I am just so thankful for Billy Connoly being in our lives for so many years, giving us all more than anyone else.

I've came back to watch this once more, I have tears in my old eyes. Billy u are a true joker funny man legend
IMO billy connolly is the best ever uk stand up. No one is came close to his standup. He even cracked the america standup
growing up in the 80's my parents would only let me stay up late 2 nights a year. Christmas eve and Comic Relief.

Pat Tanackered I'm with you, it was one of my early memories too and how fantastic it was!
Pat Tanackered I was with you until the sean Connery King comment...
Greatest comedian of all time. End of. Love you Billy.
The Best Of All Time,
The sound of the pipes makes the hair's in the back of your neck stand up. I salute you MR connelly, thanks for the laughter ❤❤❤❤😊
I was tearing up the hole time & seeing some of my other favorite comics n actors showing respect was beautiful ps im not normally this soppy lol
"The jobby wheeker " and the poor lady who flew off the bus as it turned the corner.
I love this man he reminds me of my grandfather who died sadly but when I watch our Billy perform i smile with admiration .
Wow, such a great man and such a devastating condition. You can really see it affecting him in this clip and its such a shame, get well soon Big Yin, we're all behind you!
I appreciate your sentiments but he's not going to get better.
I chatted to him in the queue waiting for a flight back from Dallas! Lovely man!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Well over due. Awesome
And his taste of woman was from my country, Billy your always an adopted kiwi, New Zealander
I have had the amazing good fortune. After many years as a professional Musician, I fell into becoming a BILLY CONNOLLY Lookalike. I developed into a Billy Connolly Tribute Act. I have had some of the best experiences of my life looking like Billy, especially in innocent incidents in the community....for example....outside a pub, somebody taking the piss...."Hey, that's Billy Connolly!"

Still cant believe how badly the Skye boat song was sung, Billy is an absolute legend
This World would be a useless, ugly ball of shit without Billy Connolly. .... He's the Greatest Gift Humanity has ever given itself.
The Big Yin is one of the most amazing persons with whom I was blessed to be contemporary.

Robin Williams called him to say he loved him before he passed away 😭😢
Your honesty and comedy has always made me laugh, God bless you Billy Connelly
Oh bugger! Connolly

wonderful man
Sad to see what Parkinsons has done to him, but still, for me, the greatest comedian ever! I have never laughed so hard and so much at anyone else. I think the physical actions he did to complement the vocal is something that's lost now. Comedians just stand there and say stuff...he acted out scenes, sometimes with multiple characters. A legend. Pissed they didn't show the performance section though. Guess I'll have to go check some out.
