Virtual event to plug his Windswept & Interesting memoirs

Sir Billy Connolly is to take part in a virtual Q&A with fans to plug his bestselling autobiography, Windswept & Interesting, next week.

The free event – at 7.30pm on December 8 – will be chaired by writer and broadcaster Damian Barr and streamed across the Facebook pages of ​Billy Connolly and Waterstones.

From today, fans are asked to submit their questions tagged with #AskBilly on social media.

Will Rycroft, Waterstones’ audience development manager said: ‘After the joy of sharing Billy’s brilliant autobiography with readers we’re thrilled to be able to bring them together with the man himself for this unique event.

‘That word unique is often overused but feels entirely fitting here, and we’re already intrigued to hear what answers we might get on the night.’

Windswept & Interesting, Connolly’s first ever full autobiography, has sold more than 230,000 copies within its first month of sale. 

  Billy Connolly: Windswept & Interesting is also available from Amazon.
