One of the funniest men in comedy…

Legendary comedian Billy Connolly has announced two Irish shows as part of his High Horse Tour next year.

Connolly will play a show in Belfast’s SSE Arena on February 11, 2017 and six days later will perform in Dublin’s 3 Arena on Friday, February 17.

The 73-year-old Glaswegian was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013, but will complete a tour of Britain and Ireland over the next year after selling over 200,000 tickets in the UK alone.

He was voted the best comedian of all time by Channel 4 and over the past 50 years has performed to an audience of over 10,000,000 people.

Tickets for his Dublin and Belfast shows go on sale Friday, October 21 at 9am on the Ticketmaster website or on BillyConnolly.com.

Here’s a taster of what you can expect at his gigs…
