There’s a guy. You know him. You know…big hair, wee beard, glasses, talks like that. You know? You know. The guy…The Big Yin.
Billy Connolly needs no introduction. He is a national treasure. From the shipyards of the Clydeside to his trailblazing and extraordinary stage and movie exploits, he is woven into Scottish culture.
Everyone has a Billy Story.
An expert team of story gatherers has created a collection of these moving and hilarious tales. Gary McNair, one of Scotland’s best theatre makers, has turned these stories into a special show celebrating the Big Yin and what he means to us.
Gary is hitting the road with a band, collecting more stories as they go, making every show different.
Each one a unique chance to laugh, sing, and celebrate the man and the legend.
Written and performed by Gary McNair, directed by Joe Douglas, Music by Simon Liddell.
Produced by National Theatre of Scotland.
