Support Billy

Everything on this site is free — here’s how you can help keep it going

Everything on this site is free.

Over 160 interviews. Over 160 concert reviews. Five books. Hundreds of poems. Twenty-five years of comedy footage. The entire Turkey archive. The Edinburgh Fringe diaries. All of it. No paywall. No trick. No catch.

I make this stuff because I can’t not make it. I’ve been writing, filming, performing, and interviewing people since before most of the internet existed, and I plan to keep going.

If you enjoy what I do and want to help me keep doing it, here’s how.

Buy My Books
The easiest way to support me and get something great in return.

I’ve written five books . Each one comes in three formats: the book itself, a narrated audiobook version (me reading it aloud), and a music version where the lyrics have been turned into actual songs by Billy Watson and his Allstar Imaginary Band.

Buckin’ Cunny Funt

Over 20 years of funny poetry in Scottish. Drink, drugs, sex, rock’n’roll, and the self-inflicted disasters that follow. If you like Billy Connolly’s filthy mouth, you’ll love this.
Buy Book Narration BWAIB

Sex, Drugs & Marriage

My life story in poetry form. The adventures, the marriages, the mistakes, and everything in between. Written from the heart.

Duality or Love

Deeper poetry. The things I learned going down rabbit holes, searching for who controls what, and trying to make sense of it all.
Buy Book Narration BWAIB

Politically Corrected

Poetry with a political edge. Not everyone will agree with it. That’s the point.

The Plane Facts

Questions that needed asking. Poems about the world as I see it.

Make a Donation
Not everyone wants a monthly thing. That’s fine.

If you’ve enjoyed something on the site and want to say thanks, a one-off donation goes a long way. It helps pay for hosting, equipment, travel to gigs, and the occasional pint after a long day of editing.

Any amount. No pressure.

Sponsor an Interview

I’ve interviewed over 160 people on this site, from David Icke to Craig Campbell to Paul Daniels. The archive keeps growing.

If you have a book, a podcast, a business, an event, or a cause you want to promote, you can sponsor a future interview episode. Your name or brand appears alongside the conversation, and you get to support independent content at the same time.

Interested? Drop me a message.

Spread the Word
If money’s tight, that’s completely fine. The best thing you can do is tell someone about this site.

Share an interview you liked. Forward a concert review to a music fan. Send a poem to someone who needs a laugh. Post a link on your socials. Leave a comment on something you enjoyed.

Word of mouth built this site from the start. It’s still the best marketing there is.

What People Have Said

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some of the people who’ve been part of this site have said about it in the Feedback page.

Here is a sample….

"Not laughed as much for ages, Billy Watson's comedy show at mad dogs bar last night, even mentioned the fact he has ginger pubes. If he is on in your area, go, have a laugh, we did. :-)"

"That was brilliant Billy. Terrific set. I loved the bit about your sister. PMSL. That's the kind of content that takes an audience to the edge and that is what comedy should be about. Great work."
Stephen Hamilton

Writer, Dafty News

"I saw Billy at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019, it was one of the most fun, surreal and honest hour's of comedy I have seen followed by some of the rudest musical numbers this side of Victoria Wood. I oo'ed, I ahhhh'ed, I ggled, I guffawed. A unique and perfect Fringe experience, a man who should be on everyone's 'to see' list."
Norm

Edinburgh Fringe, Audience Member
