Billy ConnollyIโve come in and out of America forโฆ well, Iโve lived here for 15 years. And Iโve played here for nearly 30 years. On and off. But Iโve always played to my fan base. And I can come and do two or three nights in New York or two or three nights in L.A., and all that. But when I go away, nobody knows Iโve been gone. You know, I donโt get reviewed or anything like that. So thatโs why Iโve come back and done a longer time in a smaller place, in New York. Itโs always the people who live here that get a chance to know me.
