The Timeless Wisdom of Bill Hicks
<< Return to Blog

Bill Hicks was one of the twentieth century's most influential comedians. A cult favorite, Hicks was known for his wit, intellect and his ability to make a joke from just about everything. Unfortunately, the ever-touring comedic genius was passed away from pancreatic cancer at the young age of 33. The self-branded "Chomsky of dick jokes" once infamously had his entire routine pulled from an episode on the then-brand new Late Show with David Letterman, because of a series of controversial religious jokes - this caused an uproar of controversy in the comedy community. In early 2009, with Hicks' mother as a guest, Letterman issued a formal apology for this move, and aired the piece in it's entirety.
