BILLY CONNOLLY GIFT SET Classic Connolly, More Classic Connolly, Two Night Stand

Bawdy Billy Connolly has been rrrolling his "rrr"s and delivering punch lines since the 1970s. This collection spans decades of his high-energy R-rated stories and mild PG comedy songs. Clearly a UK favorite, Connolly mines a rich vein of rowdy and raucous humor and shaggy dog tales delivered in an outraged and bemused brogue. Something of a unique voice, Connolly is regarded by some as a pioneer of new wave comedy. While his observational humor and storytelling are somewhat experimental, he is more solidly mainstream and far less ground-breaking than Lenny Bruce or other seminal comics. A fun listen, however, for the soccer-and-Guinness crowd or existing fans. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 04/ JAN 05]
