    I saw a poster on my way into work, and although I may have been really tired when i saw it i'm sure it said something about Bill Hicks....well i am sure it did...the bus was moving so there wasnt time to read it...
    Does anyone know what the story is with that?
    Does the night involve a ouija board and a glass tumbler?
    or as my friend suggested his skeleton with a fag hanging out of its mouth...

    Hehe,
    "Yeah Bill's going for that anti-marketing dollar, that's a big market..."

    I don't know if I like the sound of this though, other comedians just re-hashing old Bill Hicks bits? ... puke - really.
    Or watching videos?! :/
    Maybe a candle-lit vigil in his memory.
    tbh I can't picture what this event would be like.

    yeah i heard somewhere its just one guy impersonating him.
    I don't know if his material is similar to bill or if he's just using bill's old stuff,
    and i also don't know which one is worse

    oh god that sounds like a great idea......tribute acts to dead comedians....what a fan-f*ckin-tastic idea...</sarcasm>

    ten years dead and still great...

    Guys,
    I can understand you thinking what you think... but, Why keep the man a secret? There were people there who had never seen or heard of him before. It took a lot of work to do it and I personally think that he has a message that needs to be spread. Did any of you go? Because the people who were there with your opinions left without them from what I could see. Anyone who knows his stuff will also know that the show is an amalgamation of our favourites not just E-Minor... Mail me and I will meet you at the next one which is Oct 23rd to try to allay your fears for Bills work.
    This is a labour of love because what Bill Hicks the Preacher, Comedian, Prophet and Philosopher had to say does not belong relegated to HMV and some geeks mp3 collection - It belongs in every consciousness and on every set of lips and if I can propogate his work in any way I will.
    Cheers for "listening"
    De Jay Vu ;)

    Apparently, this guy is scarily good. He used to be a flatmate of DeVore's.

    Freaky that.

    I'm not a geek. Even the geeks don't want me.

    Agree with you though - I'd rather a good Hicks rendition then have the guy's thoughts and act relegated to the corner stack in HMV. And I haven't seen the show but assuming Hicks-Esque isn't planning on dying any time soon I'll get around to it.
