Customer Reviews

Another fine effort Mr. Connolly
I pre-ordered this title and was not left disapointed. Billy Connolly is the finest stand up comedian on the planet and the first 15 minutes is simply superb.
As usual Billy is at his best when he his simply ranting at what he thinks is stupid or unfair.

Some old subjects are covered again but this is hard to avoid with so many dvd's released and does not take anything away from a great perfomance.

Only 4 stars as i believe the various "World Tours" are better value.

Better live!
After seeing Mr Connelly live in Cardiff I bought this DVD and it was very much his usual brand of situational humour that you can't help but laugh at. I can honestly say I never stopped laughing, the man is still the greatest comic around!

Connolly Makes It Look Easy
Billy Connolly is the best stand up in the country, and there are few informed comedy critics who'd disagree. He's not always hilarious but he is always engaging and even when he's not making you cry with laughter, he can take you into his world and entertain you.

This is an improvement on the disappointing 'Live In New York' and for the most part, it's just brilliant stuff. Connolly obviously has a basic structure for each show, but unlike Eddie Izzard with his faux ad-libbing, Connolly genuinely gives flight to thoughts that sometimes take him so far off track, he has to ask the audience to put him back on the right path.

I love that this was filmed in Adelaide, a lovely little Australian city often overlooked by the hustle bustle of Melbourne or Sydney. Billy loves the country too and this comes over well on this release.

A few bits fall flat: the drawn out description of the musical he'd like to make never really works, and at other times he appears more angry then funny, but Billy's admittedly an odd character and he's said before that the stage is like therapy to him; the place he can vent, and I don't mind at all that he does so.

A great gig by a truly gifted man. Decent running time too, at just under two hours. Watch the King show you how it's done.
