Billy Connolly: Nipple piercings, storytelling and comedy 

It is sobering to see him at a slower pace,but his heart is still as big as a lion’s. I love Sir Billy. God bless him.

The Big Yin. I know he doesn't do his stand-up stuff anymore, but I could still sit for hours listening to him tell stories.

He looks GREAT! I noticed in his last TV show that he looked more steady and had visibly less tremors. I hear he is living in Florida because the climate helps his condition, but he must be getting some great treatment. I hope he's around for many many years to come! Love you Billy ❤️❤️❤️

What a brilliant interview, and interviewer! He allowed Billy the space to share his recollections and humour. Loved Billy for years, such a genuine human being.

Billie is an absolute treasure. It's always a delight to listen to him.

Billy you have made me laugh so long and hard it was painful. Thank for your eternal optimism, and the joy of seeing through your eyes.

Not just a comedian. A warm good human being. Proud to be a scotsman

Here is a man who ive had the privilege of seeing live;he walked on, talked for 3 hours then left,the best storyteller ever. Hes even more interesting off the stage,and just as sharp and funny too; i love his outlook on life, truly one of the great people.

I've never considered why standup is called stand-up. Brilliant, Billy. I used to listen to his cassettes under the covers at night. Legend.

This guy will forever be a legend in the eyes of glasgow, the eyes of Scotland and most of all the eyes of the world. Could listen to his stories for hours, he’s just got a gift in the way he sees the world and tells of his travels. An absolute gentelman, the stuff he’s been through and the troubles he’s seen and yet such a positive attitude towards life. A real inspiration, would be a dream come true to meet him❤️

I managed to see Billy twice on the same tour and unlike other performers both shows were completely different! He is a true story teller more than anything else but you can't really pigeon hole Billy! He is just Billy and God bless him.

The wonderful, windswept and interesting Sir Billy Connolly. I bought his book this afternoon :-)

I wish if there were more people like him in the world... wonderful human being... great philosophy ..

There is no better entertainer than Billy Connolly. I tried once to watch an hour of one of his shows and couldn't stop till three hours later.Laughter is wonderful.

I could talk for years about Billy - he has been in my life since I saw him with the Humblebums. I knew then that Billy was different.. Destined for greatness.

Billy Connolly Legend , National Treasure , One of a kind . None beat him , none defeat him , and there will never be one who even comes close to being all that Billy Connolly is . Long may your lum reek Sir Billy Connolly . Cheers ! 💙💙💙

What a great combination of two genuine people. I've been listening to Nihal on the radio and I can see in this interview how the great Billy Connolly warms to him. One legend and maybe one legend in the making.

A great fella who i could listen to forever!! Fantastic outlook on life and death the world could take a leaf out of Billy’s book !! He’d get my vote for world leader 👍🏻😜

Love Billy so very much. Thank you for this interview.

Pure genius and a fellow Scot. I had the pleasure of seeing him live many, many years ago. A highlight of my life.

He’s brilliant. I was privileged to see him live in Edinburgh. I can still laugh even now at his skit about how children yodel and go into a Buddhist mantra when they cry

The greatest ‘Truth-telling’ embellisher there ever was! Respect. x

The best interview of Sir Billy i've ever seen . His intelligence shines through so well .

I've always loved Billy. The best story teller that ever blessed the stage.

The reason why he is so loved is cause he is that voice , that silent conscience in every good man's soul, that cuts through the bullshit of life, religion, class, politics and keep ringing the bell of truth and what's really real. His view of the world is the the perfect and a flawless view of the world and life. In every age there are messengers and messiahs. And I truly believe he is one such person with a message for us all. every one who loves him knows him cause he knows them in return and knows the life we've all lived growing up. Long before the bullshit of responsibility and careers and success layered thick over all else. There's so much about billy. I'm an Indian living in a city amongst people that have never heard of billy. But I grew up in a christian boarding school and everything about him growing up and his stories are all true. Cause I've seen them happen and I've even lived them. Will always love billy. Always turn to him when I need to melt the thick thick layer of life, news, politics and just how terrible people can be and get. I'll always turn to billy. Never met him never seen him live. But it doesn't matter.

Lovely to see him thank you

A master storyteller who makes me proud to have been born in Scotland

Billy Connolly Looks So Relaxed In This Interview,

That's one of RU-vids finer attributes well done all involved. A giant personality who makes me happier evertime I look at him nevermind hear is wisdom. Nice chap interviewing too, big fan obviously. Thanks for that

Great interviewer for a great man.

One of the greatest comedians ever

Great interviewer ! Great interview !

I think its a shame that Billy Connolly and Robin Williams could not do a movie together. The Hilarity would have been lethal.

A wonderful interview. What a life he's lived, his audiobooks are a great listen and a great insight into his brutal upbringing.

A lovely man. Proud of my wee dram of Scottish (Glasgow!) blood.

Love you man!no idea how many family’s made laugh through generations even too this day,all the best Billy you’ll never walk alone

Great minds never die, they just choose what to think better. First heard the Big Yin on double LP 40 years ago and has made me cry with laughter ever since and always will. Scotland's true ambassador. Loved by the world, no matter what religion, colour, gender or language. Legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our very own Sir Billy Connolly. Such a beautiful man and legend. Bless you sweetheart. ❤🕊🌹

Love Billy . Bless his heart . Hope he lives , healthy and bright . So enjoyable to see and listen to ..

The greatest of all time.

Billy , thankyou so much . Such an intelligent man. A gift to listen to you.

Listened to this the other day. hit me on a deep level. he's a good spirit

What a man. Love you Billy.

Great interview. Love billy connolly

What a wonderful human. That voice. In comedy, there is a voice, a sound. People like George Carlin, Connelly, and a very few more. They have stories, they have that beautiful voice.

The Best Comedian Ever Billy Connolly,

Simply the Best...... "Everybody knows that" 👍 classic memories from one old fart to another... thanks big yin 👍🎵🎶🎵

Bless him, he’s getting slow now, but he’s done something not many others have- a truly full life

Bless you Billy you are in grand form! I have a liking for grave yards and Harbor tributes =) ROCK ON!

So happy to see him so improved and doing this interview! love you Big Yin

What a brilliant interviewer..job well done..

GREAT interview 👏🌟.. Billy still he's ol self here.. 🌈 God bless YOU Billy Connolly -)THE big yin✊💪

LEGEND.

Billy was such an inspiration to me. Decided to go back to school and become a welder because of him. 0:23 got that banjo tattoo in his honor 😃

He just makes you feel Good, watch his series where he travelled route 66 on his trike... a true legend

Absolute legend

This is the most energetic I've seen him in the last 5-10 years. There's hope yet!

Good to see him doing ok

My hero and a great interview

42:20 great to see him laugh like that at the end

Fantastic interview fantastic interviewer.

♥️Billy♥️

I have a lot of love and respect for the Big Yin.

A big yin wee a big heart always humbles me listening to him speak about his life and outlook.

I love Billy. 😍

I was laughing & crying with love ❤️

Still seems sharp enough. A lot bloody sharper than me!

I adored billy's bbc world tour of australia..... so beautiful.

The great story teller and what a skill to make light of every situation a real legend still my favourite comedian

Really getting into Billy at the age of 31. Currently reading his autiobiography from 2 years ago. Unfortunately the bulk of his career was a bit before my time and as a teen I found him hard to follow when watching his stand-up. What a genuinely warm and funny guy, though! Worth watching to the end just to see him laugh like that. Must praise the interviewer for giving Billy the time and space to say what he wanted to. Nice and sensitively done.

Lovely relaxed chat with Billy. Loved it. Long may his positivity continue.

Darling Billy you are beyond fabulous. Your humour is simply perfect for me. You have made me laugh for years and bless your cotton socks for that fact. My Mummy always refered to Billy as Billy La Windswept. Australia 10.26pm

Love Billy, sad to see him losing his memory, he used to be sharp as a razor.

Love the man xx

My favourite is ‘ asleep ‘ and I think I don’t think so...Ahhh Bil you’ll never lose it 🤣🤣

A fantastic interview 👏

Oh my days!! This man is absolutely honest to the core & it matters none if it is really sad or really tragic in his life or society. He brings a light hearted & big smile to everything he talks about however bad it is. This has to be a quality that is so rare unyet so powerful in getting everyone to look at society & child tragedy that we all like not to face in everyday life. Billy enables us to take those first steps into the truth because we smile & laugh whilst doing it. Only then, when Billy stops, are we left with the harshness of the truth. But he's started us thinking in ways we all should & there is no going back. This man is a true, rare, big hearted, optimistic genius born from poverty & abuse. He is a living legend. 🤗🤗🙏💞🙏

God bless him, he's a true gent

I see his as just calm for once in his life love billy till I die xxxx

god bless you sir.

So wonderful he's still here! And painting. Arthanayake is getting the stuff here. Billy's philosophy is so helpful.

Great questions from Nihal- what I'd love to ask Sir Big Yin myself if I ever got the chance

the greatest ....

Love this man

Thank you

The Master.

Genius ❤

I wish he was my dad great man

I'm not for mourning the famous but the world'll be worse off when Billy goes.

Great interview!

Great interview and good interviewer👍

I love you Billy 💙💙

Love Billy, living legend. Nihal on the other hand........

Saw Billy in concert in Liverpool Legend

I adore Billy love you gorgeous xxxx

Billy your the best ❤❤❤

My psychiatrist prescribed me Billy Connolly instead of antidepressants I hope more psychiatrists will follow this and instead prescribe poison that kills Thank You Sire Billy Connolly! You are the life saver to me. XXX.

I love Billy Connolly. Why does RU-vid keep pushing me on my "recommended for you" that are in other languages! If they're tracking what the fuck!

All I can think of, Billy is what you said to Parky ..."Don't Go!!!! ❤❤❤

Well done Nihal
