Originally a folk singer and banjo player in the Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty (later of Baker Street fame), Connolly moved onto comedy and first became a household name in the early ’70s after appearing on Parkinson. Since then, Connolly has spent the past four decades touring the world (first visiting Australia in 1978) and appearing in a plethora of television series and movies, including Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Gulliver’s Travels (with Jack Black), Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit films and more.
