Bill Hicks: Sane Man

Comedian Bill Hicks performs a live stand-up show in Austin, Texas.

Classic Bill Hicks. Some great, hilarious observations on life, politics and people all delivered in Hicks's inimitable intense, stream-of-consciousness style. The show includes some of Hicks's most legendary jokes, including "Watcha reading for?", the positive LSD story, housekeeping, the war on drugs.

The first half of this is incredible and the show looked heading for perfection only for Hicks to run out of steam in the second half. There's a lot of stuff that's really just a rant without a punchline, stuff that he seems to have made up on the spot so is very unstructured and doesn't quite land a hit.

All in all its very funny though the second half was disappointing.
