Billy Connolly has extended his upcoming tour of Australia.

The Scottish comedian, whose The Man show kicks off in January next year, added two extra Sydney shows after tickets sold out for all 25 performances.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the new shows will take place on Friday March 11 and Saturday March 12 at the city's Hordern Pavilion.

Connolly will also visit Canberra, Brisbane, Hobart, Wollongong, Perth, Newcastle, the Gold Coast and Adelaide.

It has been six years since he last toured Australia.
