Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

LoveLaughterandTruth is a compilation of performances given by Bill Hicks between 1990 and 1993 in Denver, San Ramon, Palm Beach, San Francisco and Pittsburgh. Like Bob Dylan, whose electrifying effect on 1960s folk was similar to that of Hicks on 1980s and 90s comedy, Hicks was a compulsive tourer, prepared to pitch up and play pretty much anywhere that had a roof. Inevitably, this is not a consistent artefact there are considerable variations in sound quality (from perfect to dreadful), audience response (from hysterical to perplexed), and Hicks's mood (from merely pugnacious to borderline violent).

What does not alter is the standard of Hicks' material, or the passion with which it is delivered--as a writer, Hicks was simply without peer, and as a performer always had more in common with devil-driven old-school rock & roll outlaws than he did with other stand-up comedians. When he really takes flight here, as on his superb tirade against children on aeroplanes, or a magnificent explanation of his loathing for dance clubs, or his rightly famous muse on what the world would be like if men were physically able to perform oral sex on themselves ("This theatre would be full of single women... watching an empty stage"), he's nothing less than Jerry Lee Lewis with punch lines. --Andrew Mueller

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, Laughter and Truth, 7 Nov 2007
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
A compilation from some of Hicks' early performances provides yet another great album showing Bill at his funniest. This has some great material on it, including some old favourites told in a slightly different way. I love it that he can make you laugh and open your eyes wide to the irony in life at the same time. His political jokes are sharp and witty and his life observations are not only true, but hilarious. Not as caustic as Rant in E-Minor, but a great album regardless. This isn't necessarily one to share with your mum, but it is one to share with all your friends, family and colleagues and as many people as possible!!! Once you hear one Hicks album you'll be hooked. Simply brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master is back!, 14 Nov 2002
By Geoffrey D. Blogg (Elgin, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Yep, the greatest stand-up comic/social commentator/satirist/cynic/preacher (Delete where applicable) returns from beyond the grave with some new, previously unheard material! Culled from various sources between the years 1990-93, LoveLaughterAndTruth will please all die-hard Hicksophiles happy, especially with the news that Rykodisc intend to release even more stuff from the vaults. Anyone not familiar with this man's wit and insight into the state of the world should check out this (and all of his other CDs) immediately, as well as read 'American Scream' by Cynthia True. Now, go forth and learn...

4.0 out of 5 stars Rehashed Bill?, 13 Nov 2002
I'm a HUGH Bill Hicks fan, and have been waiting for this release for a while. Unfortunately, if you're already familiar with his work, you've probably heard most of this material before (from different recordings on CD/video). But, that probably won't stop you from buying this CD anyway :0)
If you're new to Bill, I'd start with 'Rant in E-Minor' instead (probably his best CD).

If you've got this far in your Bill Hicks Odyssey, you will no doubt have concluded that Bill was a comedian who was prodigal in innovation but limited in variety. Read more
