The First Bill Hicks DVD is being released!

[Khephra]

BILL HICKS - ON DVD AT LAST! In celebration of the first Bill Hicks DVD release, we are discounting all 7 Hicks CDs online! Individual titles are each on sale, or you can get all 7 audio CDs for just $77!

Bill Hicks Live is the first official DVD release from the legendary and beloved comedian.

Since Bill died in 1994, his work has reached a new audience and he has become a powerful cult figure. For these fans who never had the opportunity to see Bill in person, this DVD will be a revelation. The DVD captures Bill at his very best, with three of his legendary filmed performances:

One Night Stand from the Old Vic Theatre in Chicago (approx 30 minutes)


Revelations from the Dominion Theatre in London (approx 65 minutes)

Relentless, Bill’s breakout performance at the Montreal Comedy Festival (approx 70 minutes)

The DVD focuses on his incredible live act, with Hicks hilariously assaulting the stage and the audience with a non-stop cornucopia of 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.

As a bonus, the documentary "Just A Ride" surveys Bill’s remarkable career with insights from his peers; including Brett Butler, Eddie Izzard, Richard Jeni, Jay Leno, David Letterman and Thea Vidale. (approx 45 minutes)

Total running time: approx 3.5 hours of pure, unadulterated Hicks.

7. Thanks, Kheph.

I think I know what the Nownows will be buying themselves for Christmas, this year. He was even more 'on' the times I saw him on London Underground on Comedy Central (back when it was called The Comedy Channel, I think) than he was when he did shows here in the States, back in the day. I haven't seen the Dominion Theater one before, though I think I've seen all the others. Saw 'Just A Ride' in streaming on the web site, but it would be nice to see it on TV.

10. Excellent!

With the exception of a very few, there's some 'comedians' (using the term very loosely...) that could use some pointers from Bill...remember, only the jester speaks the truth...
