Hammersmith Apollo run in January

Billy Connolly has announced an 11-night residency at the Hammersmith Apollo.

The Glaswegian will be at the 3,600-seat venue from January 7 with his High Horse tour. The final night is January 23.

He started the show in Scotland in late 2014, and will be taking it to Canada next month. It began after the comic, now 72, revealed that he had to have his prostate removed following a cancer diagnosis and was suffering from the early stages of Parkinson's.

So-called 'presale' tickets to the new London dates will go on sale at 10am tomorrow here

In 2010, Connolly was voted the best comedian of all time in a Channel 4 run-down.
