Description
I can make your Wedding, Birthday Party, Corporate Event or whatever extra special!
I personalise my act so that "BILLY" includes some of your guests in the hilarity! For instance a favourite Uncle, Grandma or Brother who is up for a laugh. I welcome Heckling from your audience.
If you have junior members of the family at your event I can refrain from swearing.

Biography
Back in the mists of time someone suggested I should impersonate BILLY CONNOLLY.
I called an agency in London and two weeks later I appeared as The BIG YIN at AOL's Conference at the Radisson, Heathrow.
A week later I was flown into Glasgow and played BILLY at the relaunch of Heinz Sponge Puddings In a Tin!!!
In the 25 years since I have had some of the greatest times of my life "being Billy" and now do a full tribute show lasting 1 hour.

BILLY CONNOLLY Tribute Act - Adult Stand Up Comedian - Edinburgh, Scotland
Event Location: La Villette Hotel
Event Type: Dinner and Comedy
14th June 2025
Stewart flew to Guernsey and his show in La Villette was absolutely special. He was on stage for over the hour just having fun talking to the audience. The party from Aberdeen, who were in Guernsey on holiday had a particularly fun evening as they were the butt of many of the stories.

Stewart/Billy had the audience in fits of laughter all night. His stories about being a lookalike were brilliant.
A great show which will be talked about for weeks!

Event Type: Comedy weekend
3rd May 2025
Likeness is uncanny! Stewart/Billy really engaged with a small but noisy crowd, even sitting among them with the banjo much to the amusement of Smudge - a guest's dog.
