The comic genius of Billy Connolly never fails to astound me. In these performances he manages yet again to mix irreverent schoolboy humour, with which he has become a family favourite, with his diminutive and instinctive observational comedy. The first of the two performances was, in my opinion, less worthy of praise than the second. However, there is no denying that there are still a few belly laughs in store for the unwary listener(see "women's movement" sketch). The difference I noticed between the two programmes was that in the first, Connolly relies more heavily on building and then maintaining a relationship with the audience, whereas the second is immmediately shown to be more "in your face" and therefore makes for better comedy. As always some of the jokes are coarse, and the language ripe, but if you want an instant anti-depressant, accept no substitute. BUY IT.
