My Wonderful Husband
Has just got us tickets for Billy Connolly.

Re: My Wonderful Husband
Have now got the tickets in my clammy little hand so all is good! 
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
Re: My Wonderful Husband
We're seeing him next Wednesday.
I'll post some spoilers here ...

LMAO - If you could post spoilers with his timing and delivery I might be annoyed...

Ah enjoyable. Rather like a paunchy version of similarly black-clothed, American philosopher, George Carlin;

Re: My Wonderful Husband
Comparing Billy Connolly to George Carlin is like comparing the Mona Lisa to a 3 year olds finger painting! 
Re: My Wonderful Husband
OOpsy! It's Monday night we're seeing him

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Anyone who thinks this honour should go to George Carlin doesn't really know a lot about the man...Gob wrote:The worlds greatest living comedian.

Re: My Wonderful Husband
On THIS side of the pond, I always objected to George Carlin being compared to Lenny Bruce.
Carlin obviously tried to copy Lenny's style and wit, but was a poor, pathetic imitation.
Parenthetically, one is hard-pressed to say which of Carlin or Bruce was the more fucked up individual, personally speaking.
Guess I'll have to look into this Connolly person.

Re: My Wonderful Husband
I've never seen Connolly doing stand-up. Seen him act a few times, though - good stuff.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: My Wonderful Husband
Now if Lenny Bruce was still alive...
I loved the hard edged "political" nature of his stuff.
Oh, if anyone's looking for a recommendation on a DVD of Billy Connolly to watch, get this one
An Audience with Billy Connolly.
His best in my books (recorded by the BBC so very little strong language.)

Re: My Wonderful Husband
Creatively speaking, Lenny Bruce was the master. He broke so many barriers that there is just no comparison to any later comedian.
George Carlin is very good and more disciplined and literate in the construction of his material. But he had a lot of advantages starting with the fact that Bruce had blazed the trail and that Carlin had a longer career and worked often on US television.
What I've heard of Billy Connolly is mostly cheap laughs with nothing that challenges boundaries or is as well-crafted as either of the above. But maybe he has a better 'set' than has been shown here.

Re: My Wonderful Husband
Flowing creative expression = George Carlin.
Saw him in Vegas, many moons ago. His stage shows are really quite long and in depth. They edit them for the televised versions, including HBO who don't edit his language, just trim the length of his show.
He (Carlin) often gets quite philosophical, while Connolly is just ribald; funny grant you, but coarse. Fart jokes, not matter how elaborate, are fart jokes.
