Ob. Cycling: Somewhere I have a photo of @Aperitif getting all Harry Worth at Shad Thames on an FNRTTC. The security guard wasn't amused.

Billy Connolly.

Was he ever funny?

Are you joking ?

 

[SteCenturion]

Nothing to do with his humour, but IMO a very underrated musician too

Multi talented is the Big Yin, his documentaries like the American road trips are very enjoyable & of course he is belly laugh funny.

MDB is spot on, Billy is a National see Scotland & UK treasure, transcends his National culture & permeates every corner of Great Britain with his wonderful humour, a truly beautiful man IMHumbleO.

The Detectives with Robert Powell was exceptionally funny
Might need to dig out the DVD

yes...the one where they jumped off the train handcuffed to the door..classic

Max Wall and his funny walk



I wish I hadn't looked it up. I remember him being funnier but in fact he was quite dire

I wish I'd seen "The Little Waster" when I lived up in the North East.

I saw him in either the very late 70s or early 80s in a pub in Newcastle - couldn't understand a word he said for the entire evening. Even now I'd need subtitles.

I was on holiday on Crete in the mid 80's. There was a Greek, 2 French, a German Swiss, a Belgian, us 2 Brits and Glaswegian girl. All speaking to each other in English but asking us to translate the Glaswegian.

I was fortunate enough to be friendly with the organisers of an event with Ivor Cutler back in the 70's when he was guesting on John Peel.

We spent a pleasant couple of hours in the bar afterwards.

He was frequently described as a "humourist"and recognised that description

Whether you consider humourist as a comedian or not is up to you, but he certainly needs to be remembered as funny

He was a very funny man when he put his mind to it could do out and out silly funny better than anyone bar Spike Milligan for me. He did a routine about a 2 men on opposite sides of a river one wanting to buy a bridge from the other. Brilliantly silly premise and so funny.

Linda Smith. 

A Brief History of Timewasting is one of the most underrated radio comedies for me.

Her death is one that made me genuinely sad.

[QUOTE 4419054, member: 259"]I never saw one of his funny shows. I nearly saw him doing Krapp's Last Tape at the Crucible in Sheffield but I think the car broke down or we got pissed, so we missed it.[/QUOTE]

Every cloud..., eh?

You aren't allowed to say he was funny......

I'd noticed I must be laughing at something else when I'm listening to some of his stuff.
