Bill Hicks In Edinburgh 

Glad you made the right choice!

Connolly was a legend, no doubt; but Hicks was unplugged.

Billy Connelly is Billy..he's done it..&,Your Comment..Was very sweet..You should Pass that on in every possible way..ie;Dave Chapple..et al..Lol to all Real Genuis .Always. :-)(Ib N.Zealand.cold n yrs info 1.good ever gonna come here..(Dunedin S.island)Need Bill /Dave/,Seth..et al..

I Don’t get jealous but, I’m jealous

Hi Delbert , Chadwick here. Im your age, never been to Scotland but want to visit. Can you tour me? Btw I love "still game" my moms not scottish but shes just like Isa!

Just kidding, by the way. That was my belligerent YT alter ego. They're talking about Dennis Leary. Are you really not familiar or are you messing with me?

It was a long time ago, as Hicks has been dead for 21 years, but Louis C.K. has also come out and said that Leary ripped off what was a bit about 'being an asshole'. Dennis Leary turned this into his 'I'm an Asshole' song that pretty much earned him the notoriety back in the day which brought him the success he has enjoyed through the present. There's an interview here on YT where Louis talks about it, if you care, but there you go.

+shadetree maniac wow, i heard louis' version after leary's and always thought it was the other way.... sucks to see leary like, well, dane cook now hahah

+shadetree maniac Hicks isn't dead. Hicks just changed his name to Alex Jones and now works making news with "InforWars".

+Patrick Michael Excuse me? Other way around dude...Sorry. I thought you were referring to his Psychedelic drug rap (Tim Leary) not Dennis Leary. You're right. Dennis did rip him off but that's pretty much acknowledged.

As shown by so many of his videos, Bill wasn't always confident on stage.

Psychopaths don't get stage anxiety. They don't feel the same emotions others feel. Most psychopaths are the very last people you'd expect to be a psychopath too. They're very good at faking being "normal." Even their best friends don't know it unless they're told. And if you're wondering how I know he's a psychopath... he faked his death and is "Alex Jones" ever since. No I'm not joking.

+Ikmel A.A.A. (Saga Gemini)  I dunno about that. Saw bill in Edinburgh 92, the Queens hall I think. Anyway no smoking in the main hall where bill is performing, big signs everywhere. Bill walks on stage reaches for his cigarettes and lighter, tells everyone in the audience to light up if they so desire. He then says to the venue staff " We will have this show in the damn street outside if you want. But I am gonna smoke, you wont stop me." Big cheer from the audience. Bill was a one off.

+Dry Bokes I bet the promoter didn't pay him though

+Dry Bokes, I was just about to say, I doubt that Bill would have adhered to the no smoking rule of somewhere he played.

some comedians can do that though.. Its all about ur attitude and how much the place REALLY needs ur performance.. Dave Chappelle lights up blunts n cigarettes no matter where hes at.. Joe Rogan said that Dave gets them kicked out of clubs n bars n shit like that ALL the time

Most non smoker drive cars. ever thought about that.

@Granpda Corey Spoken like a true fanboy; ''his message transcends comedy; it even transcends reality. he is a real prophet to the few who are willing to listen with open ears'' 😂 If only we were a little smarter to get his comedy ....lmao! Hicks never said anything that was that original or cutting-edge. Go listen to one of the real masters of comedy like Bruce or Carlin, their comedy is much more transcending than anything Hicks ever said on a stage.

But, of course, Bill Hicks did nothing but trash America every chance he got, particularly in the United Kingdom... he was a big hit with the UK Parliament.

😂🤣 ……RIIIIIIIGHT

Don't know why UK Parliament is everything Hicks couldn't stand

Zach InTheHat For them, that's equivalent to 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using farenheit is comparable to someone doing math with Roman numberals X, V, D, M , etc, instead of using the modern numbers.....

Simo Haha that would be dope if the US decided to switch to Roman numerals

@@zachinthehat1707 Lol that would go hand in hand with still using farheneit though. Imagine the confusion in chemistry classes then. You would have to 1. switch from inches/yard and all that nonsense to metric system, then 2. switch from farheneit to celsius, then 3. switch from roman numerals to 0,1,2... numbers. lol

@@777lucifero Why because it's more accurate?

Yeah, I was like; "WTF did he just say?" lol

jmcieslak0 It's not easy hearing Jack Dee say that. Made me feel queazy.

jmcieslak0 It's the best time.

Raise it up!!

I thought he was trying to say "please raise the rooftops"

Lee Kee hes been playing a new character for the last 20 years or so goes by the name of Alex Jones. Bill Hicks was sheep-dipped

Still alive, His name is Alex Jones, same person. Gz

Bill Burr tells it like is.

I caught that too lmao

I think Jack was a little star-struck

forgot the 'it's' and pause between 'roof' and 'time'!

Did ya come here for the crowd?

Yeah... he was laughing at Jones... not with him. There's a difference.

@@RstGamingReviews They're the same person. Bill Hicks faked his death to play "Alex Jones" as controlled opposition for the enemy.

This is CNN

This is RU-vid!!!

THIS. IS. SPARTAAAAA!!!

This is your brain. And this is your brain on drugs.

Aka: Alex Jones

The mullet though.

+Pat Brennan He's sooo good, he can ACT as Alex Jones

Respect to the mental image of your Tattoo. Fan of Tool as well, right?

Well done

If you’re on drugs, it can be anything it likes.

I agree

OFC just like Bob Marley (some CIA on death bed admited it some time ago)

Josef Mandel Correct.

Indeed.

A cigarette says: Today you turn me into ashes, but tomorrow is my turn. Heavy smoking took this man out

They have the same best friends as well. And the same cameraman Kevin Booth.

olli tuovinen they're both from Texas too, they could be related.

Bill wasn’t originally from Texas. He’d have a field day with the AJ cult.

For American audiences I’m sure he said Sharper Image.

charles marshall you still deal I’m Kidding but that’s cool man

For real?! Got any stories you'd be kind enough to share?

Bill was massively popular in the UK and loved playing here, as people got him and he never had to argue with drunk right-wingers, who'd taken offence. His final special, Revelations, was filmed in London and had cancer not killed him, he was set to get a series on UK TV.

Yes it was the year you weren't there!

Just found this comment ❤❤❤ YAY!!! He just celebrated his 53rd bday a free man here at home in Australia!!!

Just out of short trousers.

it's a usual yank over the top statement for a fart in a bottle. Google Trump.

He really does.

His jokes are very American, and he's not in America

@@freddovich7925 thanks for pointing out the obvious.

@@vikinginspace4881 You seemed to be having trouble

@@freddovich7925 do better

@@vikinginspace4881 You might have noticed that initially.

Lip job, ear lobe job, couple moves removed, facial fat was removed and voice larynx change. Some say it's his cousin or brother but people have referred to him as bill. He's referred to himself twice on seperate occassion. Teeth, eyes, and nose are dead on although teeth could have been shaved down. Something is up

@@nikolasporter6617 OK so say it is true. Why?

@@iamtheteapot7405 cause bill could fully commit to his emotions. A good example is his "come here " joke. The acting is quite natural and he himself seems to be quite spontaneous. He'd be a great host to lead the opposition.

That's not the most articulate argument but neither of us wanna spend writing essays on RU-vid

@@nikolasporter6617 agreed
