"Savage, brilliant, funny, tremendously intelligent." - John Cleese
"He was hilarious, brave, and right about everything." - Henry Rollins
"Bill was right up there with Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. He was easily the best comic of my generation." - Brett Butler
Legendary, late comedian Bill Hicks was just starting to gain critical mass when he passed away in 1994. A comic's comic, Hicks was dedicated to stand-up as the be-all-end-all, not a stepping stone to a flaccid sitcom.
This DVD showcases his incredible live act, with Hicks assaulting the stage and his audience with a non-stop cornucopia of hilarious insights into our twisted world; the government, the military, the police, religion, smoking, pornography, drugs, and of course - for those of you who are getting antsy - a couple of dick jokes.
