This is Billy Connolly's first new live DVD in over three years.
Taken from his fantastic 'Too Old to Die Young' tour in 2005 it features
the hilarious New York show. This is the first time one of Billy's shows
has been filmed in the US even though he has been touring there for
over 30 years. Absolutely classic stuff from the Big Yin.

Howard Gerald Clower

Liberty, Mississippi USA

Sep 28 1926 – Aug 24 1998 age 71

The
day after Jerry Clower finished high school, he joined the Navy and
served on the aircraft carrier Bennington in the Pacific during World
War II. When he returned to Mississippi after the war, he attended
college on football scholarships at Southwest Mississippi Junior College
and Mississippi State University, where he received a degree in
agriculture.
He
served as an assistant county agent in Oxford, Mississippi, for a
couple of years. Then, maintaining his close ties with the soil, he took
a job in Yazoo City as a fertilizer salesman for the Mississippi
Chemical Corporation, a manufacturer of chemical plant foods, where he
stayed for 18 years and eventually rose to the position of director of
field services. In the process of making sales, he began telling
prospective customers humorous stories about his childhood to improve
sales. Eventually, a friend taped one of his talks and sent it to MCA
Records in Nashville. The result was his first comedy album in 1970,
Jerry Clower from Yazoo City, Mississippi Talkin’. Within a month, the
album had achieved gold status, selling more than 500,000 copies.
He
first appeared on the Grand Ole Opry in 1973 and continued to tour
extensively and record. A staple of his comedy is the Ledbetter clan, a
fictional family whose humorous antics are more than funny; they
chronicle life in the rural South of the 20th century. Undergirding his
comedy is Clower’s strong religious beliefs. A Southern Baptist, Clower
has served as a lay minister and as a deacon in his hometown church, and
he has hosted a Christian radio show and syndicated television show. He
is married to the former Homerline Wells, his childhood sweetheart, and
they have four children.
In
addition to his live performances, Clower has also published four
best-selling books. Ain’t God Good came out in 1975 and was the basis
and title for a documentary film which won an award from the New York
International Film Festival in the category of Ethics and Religion. It
was followed by Let the Hammer Down! in 1979 and Life Everlaughter in
1987. In 1992, the University Press of Mississippi published his most
recent book, Stories from Home, a collection of his best tales and a
serious look at the man behind the persona.
In the foreword to Stories from Home, fellow Mississippi writer Willie Morris
wrote that Clower’s comic art demonstrates the richness of the spoken
language of the South “in all its inwardness and nuance and sweep — the
extravagant country talk, as lyrical as much of southern literature, and
in the lineal ancestry of southern writing.” He concludes that Jerry
Clower’s humor is “rooted in a region, but is not regional.” Laughter is
the force that connects people from all regions in his work of art.
Clower died in Jackson, Mississippi, on August 24, 1998, five days after undergoing heart bypass surgery. He was 71 years old.

A
trained dramatic actor, Shelley Berman rose to fame in the 1950s by becoming the first "sit-down" comedian. Berman's calculatedly self-pitying nightclub monologues concerned his tiltings with the minor frustrations of everyday life. His specialty was the "telephone" monologue; seated on a stool and holding an imaginary receiver, Berman invariably cast himself as the victim of Ma Bell bureaucracy and thick-headed unseen "second parties." He tended to wear his neuroses on his sleeve, and was well-known for his unpredictable temperament; in one notorious TV-special appearance of the 1960s, Berman was interrupted in mid-monologue by a ringing offstage pay phone, whereupon he stomped backstage and tore the offending phone off the wall. A busy TV guest-star, Berman showed up frequently on the Paar/Sullivan/Allen variety show circuit of the 1950s and 1960s, and played seriocomic roles on such TV series as Peter Gunn, The Twilight Zone and The Girl From UNCLE. He also played a recurring role on the satirical soap opera Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (1977), and was co-producer of the 1970 summer replacement series Comedy Tonight. Berman's film credits include The Best Man (1964), Divorce American Style (1967) and Son of the Blob (1970). Dropping out of public view due to profound personal problems (not least of which was the death of his son), Shelley Berman staged a comeback in the 1980s with appearances in such films as Teen Witch (1989) and Elliot Faumann MD (1990)
Mark Clifford Thomas (born 11 April 1963) is an English comedian, presenter, political activist and reporter from south London. He first became known as a guest comic on the BBC Radio 1 comedy show The Mary Whitehouse Experience in the late 1980s. He is best known for political stunts on his show, The Mark Thomas Comedy Product on Channel 4. Thomas describes himself as a "libertarian anarchist."
