Billy Connolly comes to Huddersfield Town Hall Wednesday 8th February 2012  

Huddersfield Town Hall welcomes popular comedian Billy Connolly for one of a limited number of UK dates on his new tour. 


The line up of comedians performing at Huddersfield Town Hall continues to go from strength to strength with the likes of Jimmy Carr, Dave Spikey and Sarah Millican gracing the stage. Billy is the latest top comedian to come to Huddersfield with his new show ‘The Man’ on Wednesday February 8 at 8pm.  


Billy Connolly has enjoyed a longstanding career as one of the world’s best-loved comedians. His live shows have been enthralling audiences around the world for over three decades. He has toured relentlessly, beloved by audiences in the British Isles, Australia and New Zealand — all locations where he made a series of successful ‘world tour’ documentaries for the BBC. His big break was on the Parkinson show in 1975, which made him a star and led to his first UK tour: The Big Wee Tour.
His boisterous, animated physical style and off-the-cuff intensity also caught on with American audiences and he now tours the United States more regularly, becoming a familiar sight on late night talk shows. 
As an actor, Connolly has revealed a dramatic side with his BAFTA-nominated performance as a confidante of Queen Victoria in Mrs. Brown, and also had memorable character roles in such diverse fare as The Last Samurai, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, The X-Files: I Want to Believe and Gulliver’s Travels. 
He was recently back on the small screen starring in the ITV travel documentary Billy Connolly’s Route 66. 


Richard Batterby from Kirklees Town Halls said “We’re delighted to welcome Billy Connolly to the Town Hall. It’s a real coup for Huddersfield; we’re looking forward to a fantastic night with one of the biggest names in British comedy”.


Tickets go on sale on Friday November 11, priced at £35. Max 6 tickets per person. Only 2 tickets per person for the first 5 rows.
