HE is a former Clyde shipyard worker who went on to become the edgy wildman of stand-up comedy. But now Billy Connolly has unveiled his own range of clothing and household good - including manbags and tea towels.

The comedian is flogging a range of wacky merchandise to fans on his website, all emblazoned with the “Big Yin’s” face and best-known gags.

Images of the well-kent face of Connolly appear on almost all of the promotional material – in the form of the “Vitruvian Man” logo from his The Man Live tour and an Andy Warhol-style colourful mouse mat and mug range.
