The Funny Side of Billy Connolly is the first fully illustrated celebration of the Big Yin's twenty-five years as the funniest stand-up comedian around. The classic gags, the funniest ramblings, are all here from the shipyards of Govan to Hollywood stardom and back.

 Billy Connolly is simply the most successful popular British stand-up comedian of modern times. From the moment he appeared on the Parkinson Show in 1975 - and told the infamous 'bum as bike-park' joke - he was an institution.
