[Karen Weil]

Sounds very painful all around! ; ) 
Love the Larry comparison, though! : ) 

Happy weekend, Gatherers!

  ADC? Other than saying fuck, cunt, cocksucker, balls, asshole, shit and blow me he's empty.
  I find him about as funny as a wide screw being inserted into my penis.

  He makes Larry the cable guy sound like an eloquent genius on social commentary. *Shiver*

    You seem to be equating them merely on the fact that they're both "angry" comedians. That's not much to go on. I mean, why not toss Don Rickles into the mix too, then?

      Dennis Leary is rarely as earnest and sanctimonious as Bill Hicks was capable of being. I love both, but it's not really a fair comparison.

      LOL, don't forget Denis Leary ;)





      From wikipeedo: 'an industry joke began to circulate about Leary's transformation and subsequent success (roughly; "Question: Why is Denis Leary a star while Bill Hicks is unknown? Answer: Because there's no cure for cancer"'

        The only other comedians I'd put in that category (and none as good as Hicks) would be George Carlin, and lately, Joe Rogan, who's a surprising find actually.

        PS: I haven't watched this in ages so apologies if it sucks, but from memory it's pretty cool.

        Hey everyone!

            Strange, angering, yet I am still gonna try to catch it.  In the US David Letterman will be showing on Friday, the 30th, 11:30 EST the routine of Bill Hicks' that was never aired by Letterman in 1994 because it was considered too "controversial".  The routine that sullied his relationship with the media to a degree.  



        His mother Mary will also be a guest (the irony that the legal executor of the estate is the ex attorney for Billy Ray Cyrus, but then you can't make this shit up.).........

        Damn, it has been 14 years!  Are there any comedians that are flying under the radar that should be checked out?  I am still looking for one whose voice is so resonant with truth and humour.



        Bette
