Bill Hicks In Edinburgh

Bill Hicks on Edinburgh Live (I think). I thought I'd put this up, as it's much better quality than the one previously available.

@TheAtheistAussie WTF! Ads on my posts? Wankers.

[oggmonster89]

any idea of the year this was filmed?

[RileyELFuk]

@oggmonster89 '91 IIRC

@Batpod05 It's probably because UK audiences of the time didn't whoop like Yahoos, nor did they mic the crowds in the way that they do now. Remember, Bill's reception resulted in him playing the UK a lot and becoming a big comedy star, whereas he was largely ignored in the US. Had cancer not seen him off, he would likely have had his own series in the UK, and his deserved, worldwide recognition would not have been posthumous. You know how it is, you don't what you've got until it's gone.

I read the comment about the crowd being bad and expected the video to be awkward, but the crowd is applauding and laughing, there is no way he was bombing to this crowd, maybe its a UK , US difference but it seems the crowd was with him to me

@Clubpenguin771 Pathetic because they are not mawkishly woo-hooing and all that bolllocks. It's Scotland; British people don't do that because we are not spastics.
