We are two of the lucky few to have a pair of tickets for his show tomorrow evening.  D)

I saw him!!   But didn't realise it was actually him.
I was walking into Cafe Culture to meet Dave R, and he walked towards me...

He had a grey coat and hat on,... I remember thinking, ''look at that guy, he looks an awful lot like Billy Connolly''

If I had known he was actually in town this week, I would have known to snatch a picture for this Forum's celeb spotting thread.

Suggesting he maybe staying there especially with all the recent sightings being only a stone's throw away.

I have just been reading an article in the on-line Daily Mail regarding Billy and the shows he did last week.  If it is to be believed, it seems the show has not been very well received, and on two nights he has cut the show short.

He is 70 this year to be fair to him. (As Dave discovered earlier)

I reckon when he was younger, any drunken heckler would have been cut down to size by a witty riposte, or else he would have chinned them.

Well I just returned from Venue Cymru where Billy Connolly performed to a sold-out theatre and he was absolutely brilliant.

He maybe 70 this year but he stepped out onto the stage just after 8pm and told jokes non-stop for two and a half hours in a way that only Billy Connolly can.

Im glad the big yin proved the critics wrong.Can you imagine if the Arena had a sellout crowd as well last nite,that would have been 4,000 people in Llandudno on a friday nite instead of 1,500.I wonder how many of last nites audience stayed over last nite and are making a weekend of it.
