Billy Connolly
All he does is swear, and then giggle at himself swearing, and then swear a bit more, and a bit more. The audience seem to love it.

Perhaps it's funnier if you're Scottish, but I don't get the joke.

Billy Connolly used to be brilliant when he was talking about Glasgow shipyards and
drinking and his messed up Catholic family. Check out the live show Billy and Albert for example.

Rubbish
Watch An Audience With Billy Connolly. It's brilliant observational comedy, and he barely swears once.

"People say that people who swear have a limitited vocabulary"
"that's fucking bollocks I know thousands of swearwords"

He's less good now but I really love Billy

His pinnacle
was his Live 1994 gig. After that he slid downhill rather quickly.

He was one of the funniest comics of his day
Unfortunately, there wasn't much competition and he never moved on.

When stand-up really got going, it overtook him on the first bend.

He still thinks he's working class somehow and he what the fuck was he thinking with the purple beard thing?

Yup, I did used to like him
and owned a couple of his early LPs.

I particularly remember him going on about pubic hair and acting out how to manage it if it grew into a giant Afro. Nearly wet myself laughing at that, back in the day!

Jimmies are massing at the border because you've insulted St Billy. If they can just get out of the pub and stop fighting one another yez'll need tae look oot!
