Billy Connolly - Old lady on the bus - Live in New York 2005 

Best comedian ever.....starts a story then drifts off for an hour then brings it back in in hilarious form. We in Scotland are so proud of Billy

I’ve heard this story probably fifty times. It still makes me cry laughing every time.

'I don't know how old....the kind of woman you would say; look at that old woman' 😆 😂 😅 crying here!

I saw this tour in Perth Western Australia. I laughed so hard, I took the day off the next day. When I woke up in the morning, it hurt to just to breath, I felt like I had broken ribs.

By now she's on her 150th lap around the planet... and we're still laughing. Godspeed, old lady. Please, never stop running. 🤣🤣🤣

Billy Connolly Is The Greatest Stand Up Comedian Of All Time. 😂🤣

My favourite uncle Sandy comes to mind. He could tell a tale just like this. He once told one about the guy whose coat got stuck in the bus door...I actually ran away because I was wetting myself, at age 9... bless you Sandy, long gone but great memories.

The best there’s ever been, a natural comedic genius. No one makes me cry with laughter like Billy.

Probably the best story teller ever!. As he's describing it, you can see it which makes it even funnier! Thankyou Billy.

The driver going "oh for fuck's sake" gets me EVERY time

Would love to sit around a campfire with some good weed and hear him tell stories!

Man.. Me and my dad would laugh at Billy's comedian jokes all the time. Sadly, my dad passed away, and I still watch Billy's jokes to keep a memory of my dad.

Sir Billy Connolly deserves a monument

This has tears rolling down my cheeks 😂😂😂😂

Absolutely f****n priceless, I spent years at RAF Lossiemouth and loved the language from my mates to the cleaners. Priceless totally priceless.

No matter how many times you hear his stories you always almost die laughing. Brilliant story teller.

As a Clydebank boy i know the exact place he's talking about 🤣

It's just masterly how he paints that scene. Everytime I laugh so much it hurts.

I've done that, flying off the bus, took a couple of huge steps before landing hard on my face. Cobbled haim, I might have needed a few stitches, which back then in Glasgow was a great day, maybe two of getting spoiled. I always remember hanging on to the exit pole, leaning out as the bus swirled around corners. Best buses in the world!

I remember someone jumping off the back of the bus when I was wee. People used to jump off at this one particular roundabout when the bus was going slow but this time it was going quickly and the guy jumped off and like billy says this guy was running really fast trying to stop and WHACK!!! straight into a lamp post. That one will stay with me forever

I should have gone to bed an hour ago but here I am watching the best comedian of all time

"An old woman... An older woman... I dunno how old(?) The kinda woman you would say, "Look at that old woman!"😂

"isn't it Hellish?" 😭😭😭

I'm crying 😂😂😂 The fact he wonders about the characters in his stories 😂❤

I don't know how many times I've watched this video and it still makes me laugh 😂

I remember the first time I heard this story, was almost on the floor laughing. Brilliant.

Nobody makes me laugh like Billy Connolly

You know when you laugh so hard you cry and you hurt at the same time.... Well Billy always has me that way

To my disgrace,i just found out about Billy connoly. When i heard the bus story, i was in stiches. The way he tells a story...amazing.

He's right about glasgow and liverpool having that unique sense of humour. But I would add my town Belfast & working class dublin.

My Uncle Harry was a Glaswegian ....I knew him from the day I was born and he had the same amazing ability to make me laugh till I cried . We were sitting in a restaurant and he had ordered sole ..... finished in a flash....held up the full bones remains and asked the maitre de for a refill ! Love you all . Unfortunately I am frae Dundee !

Just for the record, I nearly suffocated by laughing at this the first time I saw/listened to it and pictured it in my head.....

You have to wonder at Billy’s imagination on how he thinks of these things. The way he sell it to us like kids sat in a circle listening to a story. You get so sucked in by his words and his delivery and comedy is timeless. The tears and laughter start to hurt your stomach from the hilarity of this old lady on the bus and his quiet reasoning. Is she running still? 🤣🤣🤣 Just a unique performer. Nobody out there close can touch our BIlly ever

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this, yet I’m crying laughing again🤣🤣🤣

I've been laughing along with this Gent since the 70's, so so very funny.

"Where did she run to?...Is she running still?" I cant count how many times I've heard this line and it still cracks me up 🤣 It's right up there with Tommy Tiernan's Declan Moffatt story 🤣🤣

WE NEED MORE BILLY. just sayin 😄

It's an utter joy of life to hear New York Americans completely beside themselves at this - I was brought up with 'our Billy' and I have totally lost control of my functions before now, in so much pain, not able to breath, and for these folks to get him is so wonderful. Thanks, Big Yin.

Billy Connelly the greatest comedian of all time. The Muhammad Ali of comedy. In the early 2000’s I suffered from PTSD and depression and watching Billy really got me through. There is no better cure then a bit of Billy to lift your day up.

My great grandparents on both sides of my family were from Clydebank so hooray for Clydebank.

Reminds me of Michael Crawford as Frank on roller skates behind a double decker bus in the 80s and that went one way, Frank went the other

One of the funniest stories ever told by a true legend. Bloody brilliant stuff!

“The kind of woman you would say “look at that old woman””. Makes me laugh out loud every time. 😂

It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this… it always makes me laugh so much it hurts. 😂

being a Scot who immigrated to NZ in '77, but was immersed in Billy humour (on LP) and having vivid memories of the places he talks about, you really are transported right to where he is talking about and living it as he's relaying it. Makes it all the funnier.

This had me crying

Brilliant! I piss myself each and every time I listen to this. I just found out the other day by watching a documentary about Billy Conley but he never wrote jokes he just kept a list of words or ideas next to him on stage and told stories from those words and ideas. Brilliant!

I haven't laughed that much for ages 🤣 It's not just the way he tells it. It's the images in your head.

The funniest comedian ever.best show I've ever been to,my face literally ached on the way home 😂😂

dear lord; ive seen this a million times and i still have to be careful not to be drinking my tea otherwise it goes up my nose.

Even though I've heard it before, I'm in tears again ... 😂😂😂 And yet.. wondering what happened to the poor old lady... 🤔. Did she have a chance to get any older? We'll never know.. But this story somehow makes her immortal.. 🙂

Billy Connolly! Is there anyone funnier? All things are relative and there´s so many varieyties of comics. Billy tells stories. Another one of my favs is Eddie Izzard. A bit more " intellectual " but you keep smilinng through the whole show. And of course Robin Williams!! What a brilliant mind! His associations were fast as lightning! I´m Swedish so I didn´t always followed, he were so QUICK! Misss you Robin, too soon...

a good sense of humour is essential in Scotland. In some places like the highlands You will not make it through the winter unless you can engage In banter. The Scots are more than aware of how the weather can be miserable despite the season, the appropriate term is Dreak. Its ment to describe a certain type of scottish weather thats made up of about 3 seperate recognised type off different kinds of weather that all come together to form dreak. The thick fog reduces light to make a very gloomy darkness, usually cold which causes horrible soggy hanging water vapour to precipitate and the tiny drops are noe liquid form and your cloths will suck it all up in minutes and of course good old fashioned rain. maybe ice in the colder months. And in reply to any negative comments about the weather from a tourist, its Scottish weather and in this country there is no such thing as bad weather just different types good weather. And my favourite. I love summer time in Scotland its the best day of the year.

Watching BILLY he will have me in stitches no matter What time of day or night I watch him. We don’t have comedians like that anymore he’s a legend.

he always makes me do the evil giggle that wont stop

As soon as I read the title I knew t was gonna be a good one and he didn't disappoint! Laughed til I cried and laughed some more. I just love him.

I have everything that Billy has done, and no matter how many times I have watched them I end up crying with laughter. Best comedian ever 😂

Literally crying with laughter. That one is better than’ the swing’

I literally cry with laughter every time I watch this 😂

I remember when a worked for British rail at Newcastle station. A guy opened a door on a train pulling into the platform.he tried to jump off the train before it stopped,but his bag got stuck on the inside of the door and he had to run alongside the carriage at 35 mph until the train stopped. It was f@@king hilarious.

Total legend. One of the only stand ups I can listen to for hours..

Nobody tells a story like billy 😂😂

Such a masterpiece telling of such a simple story, comedy legend

A wee drop of magic

This always has me laughing too much at 4.34 and him saying “I looked up and she was gone” I’m lost now with my body shaking with laughter after that point.

I remember those buses

I used to have a vcr video of one of Billy’s standups my uncle gave me when I was 18 and I played it over and over again. It never failed it make me laugh even though I could’ve acted it out 😂 got me through some dark days ❤

one of my favorite stand up jokes of all time.... what a master.... and oh how I hope this story is true

Classic Sir Billy Connolly , telling his real life stories with such fantastic humour. What a one off comic genius this guy is and always will be forever

This is my favourite story of his 🖤🖤🖤 I'm so glad I found it. Totally needed a smile 🖤✌️

This bit puts me in stitches everytime, tears down my face and a belly ache from laughing too damn hard!!!

That story reminded me of my days as a milkboy in the 70’s in Dundee and seeing Stuart Smith doing the exact same thing off the back of the lorry when we were doing 30mph. It was hilarious. Unfortunately he got badly injured.

No other comedian makes me laugh so hard that I stop breathing.

2023 and this is probably one of the best stories I’ve ever heard! Comedy gold, thanks Billy !

one of the funniest jokes he has ever done. at 4:25...."i looked up and she was gone"!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It used to be a game for us as kids, to wait on the back platform for the bus to take a bend to the right, and jump off running… Skint knees aplenty!

Oh, he’s so right about Liverpool being like Glasgow with stories that are awful at the time but are so funny when it’s retold. Glaswegians and Liverpudlians can ‘dine out’, as my sister says, for absolute years on stories like these.

Still gets me this one.... one of my all time favourites.

I work as a security guard in my city. And when he starts the story that it was "the most awful thing ever... but funny" best stories ever for around the campfire 😆

This is the bit that made me love billy, this made me laugh harder that ever before when I first watched it

Is she running still...the perfect final line. How did he consistently come up with new material of this quality for decades?

He's one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen and this story is one of the funniest I've ever heard 😅😅

Uphill its Kilbowie Road. She shot into the Drum!

We love you Billy ❤. I haven’t laughed so much in a long time, you made my day fabulous 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Legend has it she's still running to this very day.

Love Billy forEVER....the finest story teller you end up on the floor listening to, in a total hysterical collapse..The best..the only...the Big Yin..God bless you for years of laughter Billy..

Great, great storyteller. Thanks Billy

The first time I watched this was with my mates in my flat on a Saturday evening, we laughed so hard beer shooting out of our noses like 3 feet. It messed up our ears so much we all felt dizzy the next day morning.

What a genius Billy is so very funny 😁 😂

This is my favorite story of his ever🤣😂🤣

He’s such a classic comedian I love him

I blacked out from laughter when he told the pinky story. No joke I laughed that hard. This man is a master of jokes.

Oh ya can say is BRILL XXC

God bless him. F**k he's funny. 🤣🤣🙌🏻🫶🏻

The greatest ever to do it. An absolute genius

Absolutely hilarious. He has to be the funniest storyteller ever ! I love him.

Love ya Big Yin

He’s just the best story teller!

I can relate to this being a retired bus driver. Many a story like this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're such a legend
