Stewart Lee has a good line about wishing he - like 'dead' Bill Hicks - could be judged on two hour of material, instead of needing to create new material each year, 'gradually decreasing the quality of your own obituary'.
- serf 11y agofunny that you should bring up Bill Hicks in a JFK thread. One of the bits he was known for was about the shooting. "There were some anti-Castro pigeons in the bar, someone heard them say 'Coup! Coup!' " Bill Hicks - JFK Assassination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZq6UOiBu_Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZq6UOiBu_Y
- jackweirdy 11y agoI watched that show (and Lee's commentary on it) quite recently. There's so much depth to everything in that performance (Carpet Remnant World). He said he wrote the show that he wanted to write, which was a show about him not being able to write what he wanted to write. There's so much self-referential depth in his shows, which he then talks about in the performance and mocks the audience for not understanding. It's brilliant, and unlike anything I've ever seen before.
