A tribute to 70s Billy Connolly. Do you remember the
impact Billy Connolly had back in the 1970s when he first appeared on
Parkinson?
Well Clydebank’s
Gary Moir does and he wants you to join him in rekindling the Connolly of
old. Moir performs all of his own material however done in the style of
the Big Yin himself. It isn’t old rehashed gags it’s the story of
Connolly in his hey-day.
Just like the Big Yin, Gary Moir is a failed welder and he draws on
the spirit and humour of the shipyards to wow audiences with a show Mr
Connolly himself would be proud of.
As a former winner of ITV’s Stars in
Their Eyes – you can be guaranteed Moir’s take of the Big Yin will be
spot on whilst the gags are as sharp and fresh as Partick’s favourite
son were when he first burst into the big time in the 1970s. Take a trip
back to the future and enjoy an unforgettable evening in the stunning
surroundings of the Old Fruitmarket.
WHAT
THEY SAY:
“The
man behind The Big Yin Revisited is certainly the most committed
and accurate comedy tribute impressionist I have ever seen. Billy Connolly
has to be one of the greatest stand-up comedians on the planet and
recreating the style and substance of the Scot is a brave feat indeed. But
the Showcall faithful audience howled with laughter and the interest
generated by The Big Yin Revisited was sure to considerable.” THE STAGE
Please
note: Most comedians are lazy incompetent sods, who can't read a train
timetable, or would pay 30 pieces of silver to appear on a pilot for a radio
panel show. Thus all line ups are subject to change.
Please check with the venue 24hrs prior
to the show for confirmation of line ups.
