Billy's on his way...

News is that Billy Connolly is coming to Aotearoa to film another one of his 'World Tour of...' series. Regardless of whether you enjoy his humour or not (and I sure as hell do) it's a wonderful marketing opportunity for the country.

Billy's got a knack for making every country he visits look supremely beautiful - so imagine what he can do with this place! Apparently he's visiting 14 centres for shows around Feb. Tickets sold out in one day in Nelsun. Can't wait.

Forums: The Bar,

Yeah tickets sold out for the Blenheim gig in a few hours, before I even knew he was coming here. Billy Connolly in Blenheim ... woah.

yeah it just sold out in Invers too

//Billy Connolly in Blenheim ... woah.

anyone visiting blenhiem is big news

yeah, invers sold out in 4 hours - damnit, i had advanced warning of the gig too.

He's going to Blenheim? What the fuck can he make beautiful there? I'd recommend Pahiatua or Koromiko before Blen.

However, I did consume some wonderful Turkish cuisine in Blenheim the other day. Diverse and multicultural hick towns, woohoo!

Hey man, there's lots of beautiful things..... There's the homeless looking man that collects cans in his wheelbarrow, The ample supply of mullets, The Turrets guy that pretends he's actually screaming at someone on the other end of his cell phone, Pauline - the drunk midget hillbilly, Anal Disdain - Blenheim's up and coming talent with the hit single 'Solder Iron Sodomy'.

Yes Blenheim is a beautiful place, you sure got to "love Marlborough".

Yeh, I should apologise, I was a little under the influence when I wrote that post. Also, my Grandma lives there... it must be cool!

Would love to meet him - i love his humour. :o)

i was told the wellington one sold out in a few hours too... and they are negotiating a second show
