      Absolutely . He'd go onstage with a rough idea of what he would say ,but it inevitably ended up an inspired hilarious stream of consciousness, then he'd get back on the original thread of what he'd started to talk about. It was amazing how he'd take the audience on that journey making them weak with laughter in the process, absolute comic genius .

    Billy is more than a comedian. He's a storyteller and a mindset that can see joy and humour in the littlest things.

      Remembering what he said is difficult because he doesn't tell jokes, just reflections on what he sees around him each day. I wonder sometimes if he actually said what he says he did, or whether it's what he (and the rest of us) would love to have said.

    I am in need of help please. I'm trying to figure out if Billy is the comic I'm looking for based on a story I heard on the radio one night while driving. He had a strong Scottish accent (This is why I feel it may be Billy) but I'm not 100% sure. He was telling a story that had the audience screaming from laughter. All I remember about the story was that it ended with these words, "A big boy did it and ran away".
    If this sounds familiar to anybody I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.
