Bill Hicks: Sane Man (1989)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Kevin Booth and David Johndrow
Cast: Bill Hicks
Running time: 81 minutes



Bill Hicks was not your typical comedian that alternates rapidly through setups and punchlines at a rapid pace through a nice little set. Hicks challenged the norms and did things his way. In this rare live show of his caught on tape, recorded on stage in Austin Texas, the late comic discusses drugs, tobacco, alcohol, music, pop culture and a multitude of other topics.

If you are a sensitive soul who gets easily offended, Bill Hicks is not for you. If you prefer clean cut comedy, again, Bill Hicks is not for you. Hicks took no prisoners. Some of his antics did annoy me a bit, but he made me laugh and think a whole lot, and I found myself agreeing with much of what he said. Sometimes, only the names will change, but the feelings remain the same.
