Billy Connolly’s last ever stand up show to be shown at cinemas across the UK

Billy Connolly fans will be heading to cinemas in droves this autumn to catch a never-before-seen interview and stand up show from the Big Yin.

Glasgow’s favourite son will come to cinemas nationwide on Thursday, October 10 with a show from the Australian leg of his last ever stand up tour, recorded in 2015.

The Sex Life of Bandages will be a one-night-only event and includes a ‘deeply personal’ and never before seen interview filmed exclusively for cinema audiences.

Billy Connolly 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!”

Billy toured worldwide continuously for 50 years and played to an audience of more than 10 million - but retired from showbusiness in 2016 following his diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease.

Venues haven’t yet been announced for the UK-wide screenings - so we don’t know which Glasgow cinemas, if any, will be showing the Big Yin on the silver screen. Tickets, however, are available on Wednesday (July 17) from billyincinemas.com .
