Billy Connolly's last ever stand-up gig to be screened in Scottish cinemas

Billy Connolly's last ever stand-up tour is to be screened in Scottish cinemas for one night only.

Hailed as the UK’s most influential comedian of all time, the legendary Billy Connolly will come to cinemas as he presents a show from the Australian leg of his last ever stand-up tour, recorded in 2015.

Screening as a special one-night-only event, The Sex Life of Bandages will also see Connolly muse upon his career, life and legacy in a deeply personal and never-before-seen interview filmed exclusively for cinema audiences.  

The show is hailed as a a riotous journey filled with outrageous tales and blistering observations of everyday absurdities.

Sir Billy said: “Considering I tend to die in all my Hollywood movies, I’m delighted to appear in cinemas and be alive and well at the end!”

A renaissance man in every sense of the word, Billy Connolly is not only one of the world’s greatest stand-up comedians, but also a musician, artist, and actor. In 2017 he was knighted for his services to both entertainment and charity.  

Prior to retiring in 2016 following his diagnosis with Parkinson's Disease, Connolly toured worldwide continuously for 50 years, performing to an audience of over 10 million. 

The Sex Life of Bandages  is a big screen tribute to an iconic funny-man whose sharp wit and anarchic storytelling is still as hilarious as ever.

Tickets are available from Wednesday, July 17 from BillyInCinemas.com .
