Billy Connolly – 80, Glasgow

Every Glaswegian is proud to be born in the same city that gave Billy Connolly to the world. Knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace, this legendary Scottish comedian was made famous due to his unique brand of improvised humor but has always been more than just a funny man.

With a decades-long career, Connolly also found success as an artist, writer, actor, musician, and TV host! In 2020, he made the most of the release of the documentary “Billy Connolly: It’s Been a Pleasure” to announce that he had finally decided to retire from his job as a comedian.
