Billy Connolly: Big Banana Feet (1976)
The long-lost film of Billy Connolly’s 1975 tour of Ireland is newly restored and re-discovered in this fly-on-the-wall documentary. It follows the singer-comic to Dublin and Belfast, shortly after an appearance on the BBC’s Parkinson show catapulted him to fame almost overnight.
The now legendary Connolly uses charm and humour to navigate the political tensions of the time. The film features iconic stand-up material alongside behind-the-scenes glimpses.
