One of my heroes is Bill Hicks.

34 when he died. Too young.

Saw him live. Also saw Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins in the same year. Bill, Kurt and the drummer from the Pumpkins were all dead by the end of the year.... I think... all a bit foggy. Thought I was cursed for a while 😊

His late night Channel 4 show in the early 90s was great.

... I do remember laughing a lot and also feeling strangely uplifted and euphoric at the end of his performance

Can you imagine if Michael McIntyre did a Bill Hicks routine at something like The Royal Variety Performance. His reputation within the comedy circuit would sky-rocket
