The funniest man who ever lived finally gets a definitive live dvd on October 26th.
From our own joblo.com:
Bill Hicks use to be the king of satirical stand-up comedy back in the day, but you don't see him hosting the Oscars do you? Of course you don't, because he's dead. Before Denis Leary was the "angry, smoking, funny guy" Bill Hicks not only did it first, but was actually FUNNY. No comparison, champ.
Includes:
Full length performances from HBO's One Night Stand from the Old Vic Theatre in Chicago, Revelations from the Dominion Theatre in London and Relentless, Bill's infamous breakout performance at the Montreal Comedy Festival.
It’s Just A Ride, Documentary on Hicks' life and legacy featuring additional performance clips and insights from peers including Eddie Izzard and Eric Bogosian.
I've got the two full length shows and the doc on VHS but I'll be upgrading.
Classic Bill: A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fucking cross? It's like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a rifle pendant.
I was in Nashville, Tennesee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: "Hey, whatchoo readin' for?"
Isn't that the weirdest fucking question you've ever heard? Not what am I readING, but what am I reading *for*? Well, godammit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one is so I don't end up being a fucking waffle waitress.
The world is like a ride in an amusement park... And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.
