LateRooms.com - Billy Connolly to Tickle Funny Bones in Cairns

    CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, January 08, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A surge in bookings of last minute hotel deals in the Cairns area is expected ahead of Billy Connolly's gig in the tropical north Queensland city.

The Scottish comedian will be bringing his The Man tour to Cairns Convention Centre for one night only on February 16th 2011, as part of an Australian jaunt that will also see him call at locations such as Melbourne and Glenorchy.

For anyone planning a stay in Cairns hotels for the occasion who has yet to catch Connolly in action, the man known as the Big Yin is known and loved for his animated and boisterous style, as well as his off-the-cuff intensity.

He has been wowing audiences across the world for more than three decades now and has become a regular on the US comedy circuit.

But his talents are not restricted to his stand-up act, as the comic has also appeared in a string of well-known movies, including The Last Samurai, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

All tickets for the show are priced at A$119 and people keen to attend should book up cheap hotels in Cairns as soon as possible, as demand is expected to be high.
