Ivan,i saw Bill hicks in edinburgh at the fringe,in a tent believe it or not, the mans observations on life and its Odyssey’s was pure genius.Now genius is not a word that should be bantered about willy nilly,but among the few i do count as a genius ,is billy Connolly.Billys exhausting brand of stand up leaving you fighting for breath and praying for just a break,also his reverence for life the country and his background totally amazes me,just imagine having teachers like Fred dibnah and billy when you were at school.
