Billy Connolly Live! Extends Off-Broadway Run Through June 17

Billy Connolly has extended the run of his stand-up comedy show at off-Broadway's 37 Arts through June 17. The show had been scheduled to run only through June 3.

Connolly may be best known in America for starring in the television series Head of the Class he played a teacher in the final season. However, by the time he began that role in 1990, Connolly was already an established comedian internationally. He has toured consistently over the past 37 years, frequently selling out venues across Europe. Connolly also often appears on the big screen, most recently in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

His February 2005 Town Hall show, part of the Too Old To Die Young tour, was filmed for the DVD Billy Connolly Live in New York. The DVD was released in Europe November 2005 and will be available in the US in May on Rykodisc.
