Bill Hicks: Len Belzer Interviews


Here is a collection of interviews from The Comedy Hour Hosted by Len Belzer of the late and great Bill Hicks.

Bill Hicks: Shock & Awe (2008)


Shock and Awe is a live recording posthumously released by stand-up comedian and satirist Bill Hicks in 2003, on New York based Invasion Records. The album was recorded at the Oxford Playhouse. It's the abridged version of Salvation, why the fuck they felt the need to put an abridged version out is beyond me.

Bill Hicks: Salvation (2008)


Salvation is a two-disc live album posthumously released by stand-up comedian and satirist Bill Hicks in 2005, on Rykodisc. The album was recorded at the Oxford Playhouse. It is an unabridged version of Shock and Awe.

Bill Hicks: BBC Radio 2 - The Dark Poet

Dark Poet: 10.30pm on Radio 2 on August 21, 2007

Phill Jupitus, hour-long documentary about Bill Hicks for Radio 2.

A BBC spokesman said: 'This documentary charts Bill's fascinating life: his love/hate relationship with America; the continuing censorship of his act; his quest for spirituality; his popularity in Britain; his battle with drink and drugs; and, finally, his battle with cancer.

'Interspersed with live material, it demonstrates why Hicks is still many comedians' favourite stand-up.'

Bill Hicks: Love, Laughter & Truth (2002)


Love, Laughter and Truth is a 2002 album consisting of previously unreleased material by comedian Bill Hicks. The material on the album was originally recorded by Bill Hicks himself for personal use, but was after his death reviewed by the Hicks Estate, after which it was decided to release the previously unreleased bits on this album. The material comes from recordings made from 1990 to 1993 in Denver, San Ramon, West Palm Beach, San Francisco and Pittsburgh.

The album is plagued by poor sound quality. This is due to the poor equipment that was used for many of the recordings and the lack of volume adjustments while recording. Before releasing the album, careful remastering was done. For instance, more than 120 pops were removed and seven sections de-hissed. Still, poor sound and volume variations between tracks can easily be heard.

Bill Hicks: Flying Saucer Tour, Vol. 1 (2002)


Recorded: 20 June 1991

Flying Saucer Tour Vol. 1 is a live performance album by stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Unlike his other albums, where the crowds have generally been fairly receptive and accepting of his act, this album is notable for the negative (or lack of) reaction Hicks receives throughout most of the album.
Despite good sales and hints in the album's liner notes at the 'Flying Saucer Tour' releases being an 'extensive series', this remains the only volume available to date.

Bill Hicks: Philosophy (2001)


Philosophy: The Best of Bill Hicks is a compilation album of routines by Bill Hicks.

Bill Hicks: BBC Radio 4 Documentary


Judging by the presenter, Angus Deayton and the talking heads, Mark Thomas, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Rob Newman, Jo Brand, Alan Davis, Ardal O'Hanlon, Greg Proops, Ed Byrne, Fred Macaulay, Phil Jupitus & Mark Little i'd guess this is from 1998-2000.

Bill Hicks: Rant In E Minor (1997)


Recorded between November 1992 - December 1993

Rant in E-Minor is an album by comedian Bill Hicks, posthumously released in 1997 alongside the sister album Arizona Bay on February 25, 1997, marking three years since his death.
The material on this album is darker and angrier in tone than some of his earlier work; Hicks can be heard screaming at his audience in between chapters, and very prominently during the track "You're Wrong Night."

Bill Hicks: Arizona Bay (1997)


Arizona Bay is an album by comedian Bill Hicks, posthumously released in 1997. It was released alongside Rant in E-Minor, marking three years since his death. The album's title refers to the hope that Los Angeles will one day fall into the ocean due to a major earthquake. Hicks contends that the world will be better off in L.A.'s absence:

“    Ahhh, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone...All the shitty shows are gone, all the idiots screaming in the fucking wind are dead, I love it...leaving nothing but a cool, beautiful serenity called Arizona Bay. That's right, when L.A. falls in the fucking ocean and is flushed away, all it will leave is Arizona Bay."
