Billy Connolly is a Scottish comedian, musician, presenter and actor. He is sometimes known, especially in his native Scotland, by the nickname The Big Yin (The Big One).

His first trade, in the early 1960s, was as a welder (specifically a boilermaker) in the Glasgow shipyards, but he gave it up towards the end of the decade to pursue a career as a folk singer in the Humblebums and subsequently as a soloist. In the early 1970s he made the transition from folk-singer with a comedic persona to fully-fledged comedian, a role in which he continues.

Billy Connolly in the press

BILLY CONNOLLY AWARDED FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW – Billy Connolly received the Freedom of the City at a ceremony at Glasgow City Chambers on Friday, 20 August.

Michael began his stand-up career in 1999 and by all accounts wasn’t particularly funny. Over the years however things have picked up. He now hosts BBC1’s primetime Saturday night award winning Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow, which will return in 2010 for a second series.

In 2009, Michael played live to half a million people in 54 arenas, including a record breaking six nights at Wembley and four at the London’s O2.

Michael McIntyre Comedy DVDs

McIntyre has released two stand-up DVDs. Live and Laughing was released in 2008 and featured material from his first nationwide tour, and Michael McIntyre: Hello Wembley was released in November 2009 and featured his routine at Wembley Arena. Live and Laughing was the fastest selling debut stand-up DVD ever and Michael McIntyre: Hello Wembley became the fastest selling stand-up DVD ever [1] selling over a million copies and reaching Number 1 in the DVD charts for Christmas 2009. In 2009 McIntyre performed live to half a million people and won Best Stand-up at The British Comedy Awards.

Michael McInyre’s in the press:

In December 2009, Michael cancelled a stand up show 30 minutes before he was due on stage after discovering that he would be performing to a room full of debt collectors. Michael had revealed only weeks earlier how he’d struggled with substantial debt only a few years before breaking through in to the mainstream. McIntyre stated that he would have gone against his principles by performing the show.[8]

In 2010, McIntyre took part in Channel 4′s Comedy Gala, a benefit show held in aid of Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, filmed live at the O2 Arena in London on 30 March.

In 2010, McIntyre joined CBeebies reading the story at The Bedtime Hour.

John Bishop is a comedian. He has also appeared in the E4 teen drama Skins as Mr Fitch, father of twins. He also has a regular Sunday slot on Liverpool radio station Radio City 96.7 called Bishop’s Sunday Service and has a regular slot on A League of Their Own with James Corden.

John Bishop Comedy DVDs

John Bishop’s Britain is a mix of stand-up and real life stories from celebrities and members of the Public. John will perform sets on universal themes such as parenthood, love and marriage – putting his own family life, passions and problems under the spotlight in a jam packed show.

John Bishop in the press:

The comedian John Bishop was forced to apologise after threatening to “knock out” a member of his audience whom he thought had insulted his mother.

The Liverpool comic became enraged towards the end of a show in Southport on Wednesday night after he asked the audience to suggest jokes he could not say on the BBC. One fan shouted out “your mother” jokes, which caused the Bishop to threatened to knock him out.

This refreshing and edgy UK comedy DVD draws you into the world of adolesent humour and juvenile pranks. The cringing embrassment of The Office style sitcom and the well known backdrop of a average urban comprehensive school – together this creates one of the funniest comedy dvds in the UK. The main characters, Simon, Will, Jay and Neil explore their lives in the typical teenage way with desires for sex, comedy, booze and money – the problem is none of them are particularly, talented, rich, good looking or intelligent and especially not very good with women.

If you like Peep Show Comedy or the Office comedy we will you will love this.
