COMEDY Billy Connolly
Showing it takes more than a high-profile health scare to keep a good man down, the Big Yin is back performing on native soil for the first time in ages. In the likely event you can’t get tickets for his High Horse tour, he’s also got a film out, the sweet-natured yarn What We Did on Our Holiday. See comedy preview, page 53 and film review, page 58.
