The man who turned Scottish chaos into comedy gold at his absolute peak.
Billy Connolly’s most requested comedy clips – in addition to his first live TV performance. Billy is universally recognised as the master of observational humour, and here we see the comic genius at his hilarious best. You Asked For It features extracts from Billy’s most popular TV and theatrical stand-up performances, as well as his first ever TV special, broadcast in 1976.
Acting
Connolly's physical comedy is somehow even better than the words.
Writing
Stories so tight they feel improvised, improvised bits that feel timeless.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This compilation spans Connolly's transformation from folk-singing shipyard welder to Britain's most beloved comedian — the 1976 footage captures him just as the working-class hero persona fully crystallised.
Connolly's Parkinson's diagnosis came later, making his physical comedy here even more precious — watch how he uses his whole body as punctuation, something he'd eventually lose.
