Format:DVD
Bill Hicks, a genius, a stand up comedian and 'preacher' of the highest calibre, his premature death a great loss. Fortunately we have some of his best performances written to CDs, VHS tapes, and now DVD. Having bought the only other dvd of his available to date (totally Bill Hicks), this dvd is a shameful disappointement. Why, is it because Hicks wasn't his usual insightful and hysterical self ? No far from it, his genius shines through, so why only 3 stars ? Because this CD is less than half an hour long that's why and contains all the jokes seen on the aforementioned DVD I played it first time through and wondered if it had a fault as it stopped so early. My advice is to buy 'totally' sit back a enjoy the ride.

Format:VHS Tape
'HBO' commissioned this 30-minute special after Hicks' appearances on the Letterman show, and it shows. His scathing wit, biting satire and frequent diversions into profanity are toned down, and though some jokes hit the mark, this is NOT vintage Hicks. That said, there's moments of inspiration (existing largely in the uncensored material which comes direct from his club shows). For more worthy material, seek out the CD albums 'Relentless' and 'Rant In E-Minor'; 'One Night Stand' is not a suitable tribute to this visionary genius.

Format:DVD
Brilliant Material, but it's far too short. Not worth paying over £7 for in my opinion, as it lasts only 30 minutes. But contains some comic gems not included on the Totally Bill Hicks DVD.

One Night Stand
This is a great half hour DVD of Bill in concert. It is so good to see him do his thing live, how he moves on stage and delivered his biting wit and comedy. Read more

Bill Hicks - The under-rated master of comedy
It's unfortunate that even after Bill Hicks' death, he is still as relatively unknown as he is. This man is without a doubt, a genius. Read more

Bill Hicks - One Night Stand [1991]
Bill Hicks, probably the best comedy genius to come out of the US of A. Great DVD for fans and those who have never seen him before. A great tribute to a great comedian.
