Billy joined LOpSoc for [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]] where he played the role of ''Mordcha'' the inkeeper. He then went on to play ''Don Alhambra'' in [[Gondoliers 2016]] in the annex theatre, as well as in Harrogate 2016, where he received a nomination for Best Character Actor. He then went on to co-direct [[Mikado 2017]] with [[George Smith]] in the Nuffield, which was subsequently taken to Harrogate that summer. The Mikado picked up numerous awards at the International GIlbert and Sullivan festival 2017, including ''Best Show'' and ''Best Direction'' for Billy and George. He also re-continued his slew of 'comic relief' roles with the role of ''Chitterlow'' in [[Half a Sixpence 2017]], before playing the lovably loyal ''Old Adam'' in [[Ruddygore 2018]]. His next role was as the ''Colonel'', re-styled as the rugby captain, despite having the physique of a monkey drum, in [[Patience 2018]], which he reprised in Harrogate later that year. Billy then faced a completely new challenge, playing ''Lady Blanche'' in the production of [[Princess Ida 2019]], which was his final role as an undergraduate. | Billy joined LOpSoc for [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]] where he played the role of ''Mordcha'' the inkeeper.
