Hicks was extremely influential, hilarious and before-his-time.
Recorded at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal in 1992, Bill
Hicks’ Relentless finds the legendary comedian at the top
of his game. With classic jokes railing against non-smokers,
musicians who don’t use drugs, and the (then current) Gulf War
effort, Relentless is essential Hicks both for the
newcomer and super fan.
“Working with the Hicks legacy is an honor for all of us at
Comedy Dynamics and we are thrilled to partner with Fathom Events
to bring his work to the big screen,” said Brian Volk-Weiss,
President of Production at Comedy Dynamics.
Fathom Events VP of Programming, Kymberli Frueh-Owens said,
“This late, great comedian truly set the bar for modern stand-up
and was an influential creative force behind many of today’s most
popular comedians. Even decades after his passing, this comedic
genius is still lauded.”
