Personal Quote:

The future doesn't exist and neither does the past. Worrying about it is a waste of time and effort. See more »

Trivia:

American audiences are generally unfamiliar with Connolly's musical accomplishments, since he all but eliminated the songs from his act before he became popular in North America. An exception to this were his guest appearances on Pearl (1996) in which he sang one of his old songs, "I Wish I Was in Glasgow", in a duet with Malcolm McDowell. See more »
