Last night I watched a bio doc on Bill Hicks then a live show of his.
My opinion of the chap remains unaltered – clever, witty, said things I agree with and that people needed to hear, but wasn’t actually very funny. I admire him a lot but no laughs from an hour show means thumbs down from me on the actual LOLing.

I watched all that stuff.
I think we've all heard Bill Hicks so many times, and then we've had everyone ripping him off for maybe the last twenty years, so it's just not new any more.
I bet you lol'ed the first time though, and I bet if here was here now he'd have stuff to make you lol with.

Nope, never lolled once.
I try things again every now and then to see if I made an error first time around: in this case I felt the same.

I agree wholeheartedly.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 16:23, Reply)

yeah, that routine spoiled it for me.
I agree with Monty. I think the man was great, but not actually all that funny.

Could be because he is an American. Although Eddie Murphy's old stand up stuff was fucking hilarious in places.

Absolutely - and Richard Pryor was genuinely hysterical.

The only good thing that Murphy has done since Trading Places
has been providing the voice of an annoying donkey.

I actually didn't like Bill Hicks that much. Or George Carlin.

You!
I have to tell you that I absolutely loved your birthday/xmas/easter egg comment in the last thread. It's a point I've been making for years, as my birthday is in December and DJ's is near easter.

I would like to suscribe to your newsletter.

And with that, I'm off. See you all later.

I found him to be repetative
I have seen loads of his shows and they were all the same. That said I liked them, he was very clever and I agreed with everything he said. I just found it all a bit samey. He was still about a million times better than Dennis Leary though.

Surely you can go for a wander, aim for the canal if you feel you'll look out of place in 'normal'society

I haven't felt up to it so far.

The canal is a pretty long walk from here though.

I feel like it would have been useful for my mum to share with me that they were never sure if I'd had it or not.

Turns out it was when we were on holiday, and I had some kind of rash thing for a couple of days...

That'll be a no then mother, thanks.
