RE: THE WISDOM OF BILL HICKS - #8 - What Makes Comedy Good
Bill Hicks is great. I always thought of his style of humor as "shedding light on what is right in front of us, and completely absurd". George Carlin is another legend of the same ilk.
Carlin, Hicks, Pryor are my Mt Rushmore of comedy. They are 3 of the most imitated, influential, and looked up to comics of our time. I am planning my Carling posts out now and will be doing a Wisdom Of George Carlin series followed by Pryor. Kind of the place they each hold in importance to me. Hicks was the truth sayer, Carlin the genius monologist, and Pryor most raw.
