Bill Hicks - Early Stand Up - Indianapolis 1985

[BroWhatever]

I wish you could revive Bill Hicks for twenty minutes and say "Bill, Keith is still alive." He'd lose his fucking mind.

[arru23]

love the Tom Waits bit

[thelighthousekeepr]

best bill hicks skit I've seen so far

[beardedswine]

i'd give my left nut to watch bill in real life

[Honeysucklebommie]

@beardedswine This is your real life.

[Disabledfish]

We need a Bill in our generation... The worlds in need...

[maccas14]

@chrisfloyd77 I think it's because during the first fifteen, the drugs hadn't quite kicked in yet. In the final twenty, "Demon Comic" comes out. That's when you know the dude is high as shit up there.

[NiggaWiddaAttitude]

I know noone will read this but ill give it a shot. Ive always wanted to be a turtle.. Every day I would pretend to be a turtle. Im getting pretty good at it too. Ive made a shell out of wood and have almost perfected walking with it. My family supports me and this decision. Every like will help me to reach my goal :)

[rainmon]

especially funny starting 13:45 into the set, Hicks was sixteen years old when he started performing

[rainmon]

Awesome! Bill was a genius. Thanks Princessdingling for the upload, he lives on...

[MrSamBroughton]

Love Bill. Love him. Brilliant, brilliant American. RIP.

[RedneckDeerhunter252]

My parents always said I would be digging ditches. Well guess what... The guys digging ditches are making better money than me.

[MrPiestrak]

hate jews? hahahah

[BillHicks420]

Thanks!!!! How the fuck did I miss this? Where did you get this?

[PhilMcCahill]

Wow! Thank you thank you thank you! As an inspiring comic I thought I've seen too much of Hick's and everytime I had thought I'd found something fresh it was the same bit with maybe a different background but this here is real treasure. WOW 85----he really has had his shit together!

[gb6710]

At 5 minutes I was actually doing what he had done.

[reasonservesme]

new bill hicks material! EXCELLENT!

[HafsGotGame]

"I'm Bill Hicks, I'm 23 years old. I'm going through my sexual peak, and boy are my arms tired" lol

[bsjett]

I didn't discover Bill until long after he'd died, but I can say, the world has a Bill Hicks shaped hole in its heart that'll never be filled. We miss ya Bill, would've loved to hear him riff on our current times.

[Drpaphisto]

and peter said 'awesome' 

[OzzyFan87]

Bill sounds fucked up lol 

[MrSamBroughton]

What a F brilliant set :)

[Zeppelinfan25]

Crackers?

[RageSchism]

"I sent her a bus schedule" Haha good one.

[Mongocribdeath]

Where was this show at??



[rogerrodd]

23 years old, 8 years into the game, and already light years ahead of all who have come before him-or since. Too cerebral then as he would be today. Fortunately he found greener pastures abroad where the intellect is greater than Snookie.If he hadn't died, he'd still be barred from US network TV, and he'd have an underground fan base at best. In short, I've been in the game 21 years. He was and remains my biggest influence.

[jorrillabear]

@rogerrodd roger your freakin hilarious. when you coming to NC?

[ZXwarp]

So grateful you uploaded these.

[babyranks4]

My sexual prime boy are my hands tired hahahaha he's so awesome r.i.p

[XenophonZolatta]

he seems like hes soooooooooooooo stoned hahaha

[BillHicks420]

@XenophonZolatta But he probably wasn't. In another show he says that he doesn't do pot.

[kilja11]

26 years later keith richards .............still alive!

[trusttruth1985]

@kilja11 This... Made me "lol"

[W6S0A4]

he asked the audiance an intuitive question, that was the exposition, does anyone have the term for that in comedic lingo?

[W6S0A4]

This is the funniest I've seen of Bill Hicks.

[gabrideen]

Man this crowd wasn't even laughing that much. I was dying throughout this whole performance!

[Lucky14970]

102 likes, 0 dislikes..... Who would have guessed?

[SimonIntense]

Speed WITHOUT cotton mouth.......eh? When did that happen? That can't be speed!

[beta447]

"The negro, although quick and rhythmic..." --- LOL in my pants!

[Rat454]

Fantastic, thank you for posting

[buckethead41]

I'm very thankful for this great upload. Never before had I seen a full set by a young Bill until I stumbled across this. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed.

[chrisfloyd77]

I've seen every bill hicks video but this one. It is amazing to see some of the bits that made it in future recordings and the material that doesn't really appear anywhere else. It is also interesting to see him nervous or high or amateurish for the first 15 and then he settles in and seems to be much like most of his later performances. I've seen clips in docs from this but in its complete form is really a great find.

[princessdingling]

@chrisfloyd77 - Your comment post was well said. Bill should have become famous well into his late teens. This early video clearly shows just how people were just not quit ready for this comedic genius and just how much Bill was so way ahead of his time.

This truly is one of Bill's most brilliant early performances EVER!

[BeatznHookz]

@princessdingling - Agreed!

[Troltwentythree]

Great upload, I thought I'd seen every Bill Hicks video!

[alexwojcik]

this was so good

[surfaceslider]

he sounds like stephen wright... eeehhh

[ramonskush]

hey sounds fuckin' stoned!!! lol

[Annie1962]

@ramonskush probably is, he gave drugs and alcohol in I think 87.. so yeah he is probably off his face here lol

[BucketfulOfFruit]

classic, never seen this. thanks for uploading

[reallycoolman2003]

lol Bill is so high here :)

[mprime2003]

@reallycoolman2003

ur really cool man.

[reallycoolman2003]

@mprime2003

haha thanks dude..your number 1!

[RickyRaff]

Thnx for upload, Bill seems tired here, still killing it though.

[SolarEXtract]

Bill Hicks is the most human, most American person I've ever known and I've never even met the guy, let alone even heard about him until about 5 years ago or so.

Nobody dared to be as real as him. Ever.

[slayerem]

@SolarEXtract try George Carlin too ... they're the only two guys I really admired and miss....

[SolarEXtract]

@slayerem Good call. Carlin's the man as well. Miss 'em both.

[chrisdrakekaka]

@SolarEXtract Most American?

[OwnedOver9000]

Bill Hicks is without equal!!!! If he was alive today his material would be beyond anything anyone else could possibly come up with!!!

[eerawb]

Great upload.... Bill hicks is the greatest of all time.

[shintedtades]
