This long lost film of Billy Connolly's 1975 tour of Ireland captures the Big Yin at his beguiling best, using humour and charm to successfully navigate the political tensions of 1970s Dublin and Belfast.

Inspired by the fly-on-the-wall style of DA Pennebaker’s Bob Dylan documentary Don’t Look Back, director Murray Grigor follows Connolly both on stage and off, capturing iconic stand-up material alongside fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpses. This previously elusive milestone of British comedy is now newly restored in 2k from original 16mm materials.
