![Billy Connolly: Live - The Greatest Hits [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51012GBBX4L.jpg)
As the forthright horseman who refuses to coddle Queen Victoria in Mrs. Brown, Billy Connolly wowed audiences, critics, and fellow actors; Dustin Hoffman called it "the most exciting male performance I'd seen that year." And that's only one of the versatile Scot's claims to fame. Although Yanks may best know him from his stint on the show Head of the Class, he began his career as half a musical duo, then became a sought-after comic monologist, and is now best known for his work in top-drawer American films (look for him in the just-released White Oleander). Find out what all the chat and chuckles are about in this generous two-part package. 3 hours 43 min. on 2 DVDs.

Not ALL of the Best Of But Real Close
While searching Amazon for an HBO special Billy did back in the 80s, I stumbled on this little gem. I ordered it immediately and my husband was thrilled when I gave it to him.This DVD starts out with early Billy in the 1970s and moves chronologically through his stand up career ending with a last show in the late 1990s. Each tour is a different chapter although there is no chapter listing on the DVD - my one complaint if you can call it that. A cartoon Billy displays where and when each live show is recorded, then you are thrown into a routine or two from that tour. You do not get the entire stand up show - just snippets, presumably, the "best of" from each. Having seen both HBO routines back in the 80s I can say that certainly not all of "the best" has been included because you just can't get that much info on a single DVD. Still, you will get 2 hours of Billy Connolly at his best with this one DVD - not too shabby.A word of caution though: Billy's style may not be for everyone. There is plenty of foul language as well as subject matter that some find offensive - like "jobbies" that won't flush or how it feels to have your prostate examined - to name a few. NO ONE can accuse Billy Connolly about being shy!Of course you also get such subjects as being a parent, visiting with friends in pubs and airlines so do not feel it is all toilet humor (no pun intended). If this DVD doesn't make you laugh then I seriously do not know what will.Also may I suggest that you do not watch all of this DVD in one sitting. My husband and I tried it and were sorry for days afterward as the pain in our stomach muscles from laughing so hard just lingered on and on. I have yet to find anyone who does not enjoy Connolly's take on things and I'm betting that you will enjoy it too.

Wear a diaper
and stock up on Kleenex. This will have you laughing until it hurts, unless you're offended by offensive things in which case drop this one like a hot rock.I laughed until I cried, may have wet myself, and became totally immoral for the next few hours...

Absolutely hilarious
Provided you can stomach some foul language, this DVD is an absolute scream. Billy Connolly has been making an arse of himself for our entertainment for decades, and this is a collection of "some" of his funnier material. Great purchase.

Anyone who knows Billy is already aware of his fantastic wit.
The only problem with this is it reminds one of how much he is missed.
