On the way up, Connoly has collided with trendies, booze, women, the press the Royals and even Fyffes bananas. The Big Yin is an enormously entertaining read about one of the funniest comedians at work today.

Customer Reviews

Enthralling if you are into Billy Connolly
An excellent autobiographical type book which should only be read if you are a true fan of the scottish comedian. It is fascinating for a recent convert to Connolly to see how he has developed over the years, from the vastly troubled early days to recent times where the book shows a much easier outlook on life. If you are a Connolly fan, you must have this book and read it cover to cover. It's the kind of book that tells you things you genuinely had no idea about before.
