THERE'S still a handful of tickets left to see one of the country's best loved comedians, Billy Connolly, who will be in Bournemouth at the end of the month for two shows at the BIC.

His High Horse tour is a rare stand-up outing for Connolly who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013.

Hailed as the UK’s most influential comedian of all time, voted best comedian of all time by the UK’s Channel 4, and included as one of the Huffington Post’s favourite UK comedians, Billy Connolly is a stand-up comedian, actor, musician, TV presenter and artist.

After an apprenticeship as a welder in his hometown of Glasgow, he became a professional performer in 1962, forming “The Humblebums” band with Gerry Rafferty, before pursuing a solo career as a comedian.

Aside from starring in numerous films and TV series, Billy has toured worldwide continuously for the last 50 years, performing to an audience of over 10,000,000.

Billy was awarded a CBE in 2003, was given the Freedom of the City of Glasgow in 2010, and was named Britain's most influential stand-up comic in 2012.
