The Big Yin

“Everybody knows that when you light up a cigarette God takes an hour off your life and gives it to Keith Richards.” – Billy Connolly. Billy Connolly revolutionised stand-up comedy by eschewing traditional punchline jokes in favour of storytelling and risqué observational humour. As arguably the UK's most influential comedian, he broke taboos, normalized swearing on stage, and inspired generations of stand-ups. During a helicopter flight over New Zealand, he famously remarked that the stunning landscape may be even more beautiful than his beloved Loch Lomond in Scotland.
