For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

It was not an hour, it was about 10 minutes but it was hilarious none the less. And whenever he returns to the Philadelphia area he sells out.Hastur wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 4:02 amSpeaker to Animals wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 2:05 pmDid you ever listen to the time Bill Burr performed in Philly, only to be insulted by the crowd, whereupon he proceeded to berate and shit on the city of Philadelphia for about an hour straight?

Stuart Lee probably hasn't made it over there at all. He talks quietly and slowly and delivers his lines very deadpan. It might be too English so I found a relatable subject matter...

Bill Hicks has been dead for 25 years today.
Makes me feel old.

I wish Bill could come back for one night to tell 2019 to GTFOH, right now!

Fuck 2019.Here’s the problem. “These days,” says Petts, “if an angry white guy stands in front of an audience spouting his opinions like they’re 100% fact, people will be quite alarmed.” In the 90s, that was standup’s most romanticised mode. Today – in an era much more alert to privilege, gender and cultural politics – it’s not such a good look, especially after Louis CK’s behaviour. To Petts, who is the co-founder of queer comedy collective The Lol Word, Hicks is “like mansplaining from start to finish. And we’re a bit bored nowadays of that.”
. . .
There’s more. “He kicks down an awful lot. The fall people are always women, gay people, Iraqis. His routines deliver devastating one-liners to members of the hospitality industry.” Take the famous “What are you reading for?” routine, in which Hicks recalls being asked this question by a waffle waitress, who becomes the butt of the joke. The problem, says Oldham, is that Hicks is quick to criticise Americans, society, the government, but seldom himself. “Something that’s truly radical needs to take a look at itself.”
