| Billy Connolly Bites Yer Bum
This tape was made at the Apollo Victoria in London
over two nights during a run of two weeks in February 1981. It was the
culmination of a marathon British tour which started in August 1980, probably
the most successful thing I've ever done. The material on the tape had
six months to mature, so it's as right as it's ever going to be! God knows
I prayed for the advent of video tape so that people could see my stuff
as well as hearing it. Well, it's here, and I've done it, and at the risk
of sounding smug, I like it. I hope you do too.

not to fall about laughing" |
| - DAILY MIRROR |

talent is mime... Marcel Marceau couldn't do better. At the end of the
show, something spectacular happens." |
| - THE OBSERVER |
| "The audience revelled in his outrageousness... His delivery and
shock power have been developed to gargantuan proportions." |
| - THE TIMES |
| "He parodies brilliantly targets including the Americans, the Australians,
the Welsh, and royalty too. But his style is such that he never offends." |
| - MUSIC WEEK |
| "He makes Bette Midler look like Jess Conrad" |
| - THE STAGE |
| "He mounts a bravura performance" |
| - THE FINANCIAL TIMES |

In Nashville' which contained every conceivable disaster." |
