Shipyards and Leotards

Billy Connolly opens up on what it meant to be a working man in postwar Scotland. Looking back over the years he spent as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards, Billy talks frankly about how his experiences shaped him both as a man and as a comedian. He takes us back to a time when the Clyde was populated with extremely funny people working in very testing conditions, shedding light on this tough environment and how his routines and costumes broke boundaries.
