The comedy legend told how he was not an easy person to be around and would insist that even the most basic tasks were carried out for him.
Connolly said his road manager had to wake him up in the morning by prodding him with a broom because he was prone to lashing out violently in his sleep.
He said: “I’ve been supported by great people during all the years of my touring. I mainly toured with Jamie, my roadie, and Malcolm, my sound man. We hired people in each town to operate the spotlights, as well as ‘humpers’ who erected my backdrop. “For a grown man like me, that was ridiculous, but at the time I just didn’t want the waiters to see inside my room. I didn’t want them to know anything about me.
