Made up of 19 lessons – including classes on how to choose the right agent, how to deal with hecklers, where to source comic material, and how to subvert expectations – the course includes two and a half hours’ worth of material from Connolly.

The official description explains: “Settle in with the king of stand-up as he unpacks a lifetime of making people laugh. This is Billy like you’ve never seen him before. Billy reveals his process whilst showcasing some of his very best routines.”

“Billy takes you behind the mic to learn the magic of comedy from the man who pretty much invented it.”

“There’s nothing nicer than saying something and people bursting out laughing,” says the Scottish comedian in a trailer for the course, promising tips, tricks, and techniques developed across his 50-year career.
