Amazon.co.uk Review

As you might have guessed already, Billy Connolly Live 2002 presents highlights from the Big Yin's 2002 stage tour. The programme is divided in two, the first part offering an hour from his Dublin show, the second delivering 45 minutes of highlights from eight other performances. Now 60, age has not withered Connolly--even if, as he is fond of reminding us, his pubic hair has turned grey--and his restless energy, enthusiasm, casual obscenity, and anger is as intense as ever. He is also, of course, still very, very funny. Whether talking about the horrors of a prostrate examination or reminiscing about a prank played by fellow ex-Humblebum Gerry Rafferty, Connolly has the Dublin audience in hysterics. Killarney is treated to an explanation of why he hates beaches and Newcastle gets a wonderful demonstration of how his wife suffers from his sleep apnoea. In London, Billy delivers a spot-on lecture on the difficulty of buying an airline ticket, while Manchester discovers "Hungry Bum Syndrome", and Bournemouth gets a hilarious tale involving vegemite and bed sheets. Finally Connolly's Sheffield account of filming a sex scene for the movie The Big Man (1990) is just priceless. Crude, rude and not for the remotely easily offended, this is Connolly the stand-up comedian on top form. --Gary S Dalkin

Format:DVD
At first you might feel a bit conned. After all, it was only recently that I acquired his England, Ireland and Wales DVD and so I recognised some of the material from that release. To be honest, I only really wanted the live stage bits anyway and this title puts them all together, making my previous purchase seem obsolete. But that other title does include lots of interesting tour guide type information which Connolly has earned a reputation for doing so well.

This title includes continuous footage from Dublin as well as sizeable clips from other shows, all run together to make an hour and 45 minutes of comedy. Connolly's occasional habit of reusing old material, understandable for someone who's been doing it for 27 years, is absent. Yep, that's right. Not a trace of recycled jokes anywhere. Every gag is nice and fresh like baker's bread. And if you happen to spot the odd one that you're sure he's used before, what's the fuss? Connolly can make it sound as new as the day he thought it up. If you liked the tour show but really just wanted to see him on stage again(it has been a while since he last released a live stage show video) then this one is worth collecting and adding to the other half dozen titles on your shelf with the Big Yin's name on them.

Hilarious ! 3 Jan 2003
By WeeTony
Format:DVD
Don't watch this DVD if laughing aloud will be a problem. The only complaint I can come up with, after now watching the DVD twice, is that it ends.

An hour long live performance in Dublin starts the DVD, which is then followed by clips of shows from Billy Connolly's 2002 tour.

All audiences will enjoy this product, the young, the old, men and women, anyone!

Top sketches include a trip to the doctor's, gynaecology, The encyclopedia on CD Rom, Going to the beach and men shopping. On the whole, this is a DVD no Connolly fan wants to be without, and anyone in need of a hearty laugh wants to have.

The DVD doesn't offer any extra features, but is still worthy of a 5star rating, as it delivers exactly what is written on the box....Billy Connolly Live (and brilliant).

Order now, you need this.

Marvellous ! 26 Nov 2002
By "acoey"
Format:DVD
I have been a life long fan of Billy Connolly and actually went to see one of these particular performances live in London.
This Dvd does not disappoint. It's Billy at his best talking about thing's that naturally happen in life rather than just telling jokes. An excellent live comedy performance , highly recomended. Keep up the good work Billy !!
