But what about his wife Kristin?
Kristin and Bill met in 1987 at one of Bill's comedy gigs and Bill was immediately drawn to his future wife.
At the time, Kristin was managing a bar in Edinburgh.
Of their initial meeting, Bill told the Scotsman: "She had a very distinctive style. She had this long brocade coat, and I realised she was a free spirit and did her own thing. We ended up chatting away, and all went to a party, and she put me up on her sofa."

The couple didn't marry until years later, while travelling in Indonesia when they decided to marry on a whim.
Bill told the Independent: "We were travelling around Asia and sailed into a place called Banda, with a beautiful lagoon, and a smoking volcano on one side and a Dutch colonial fort, an old church and remains of a little town on the other.
"We decided to get married there and then."
Kristin is a former costume designer but now she handles her husband's business affairs.
The couple have a son together, Dax, who was born in 2003. The family lives in a large Victorian house in Hammersmith, London.
