Comedy great, Billy Connolly, is heading to Newcastle on February 22 for a show at the Entertainment Centre, and we’re a little bit excited.
Billy Connolly has enjoyed a longstanding career as one of the world’s best-loved comedians. His live shows have been enthralling audiences around the world for over three decades.
The Scottish comedian has been wowing Australian audiences with his live stand-up shows since 197,8 and this time around he’s promising more of the same, but funnier.
Billy’s professional life started in the shipyards of Glasgow where he worked as a welder in the early 60s. He decided to give it away to pursue a career as a folk singer and banjo player in the Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty (later of Baker Street fame) and then as a soloist. The jokes he told between songs eventually took over his act and he became a full-time comedian. Already a big star in Scotland, he became a household name in the UK after appearing on “Parkinson” (1971) in the early 70s.
So get ready for the ride of the decade with this larger-than-life character on his High Horse Australian tour that stops in at Newcastle Entertainment Centre on February 22. Contact the venue for more information and to purchase tickets.
