Purple Vein as in a parody of Purple Rain? That used to be my or name in '98! I like him already! I'll check out his best of in the new year Thanks for the tip!

No, not related to purple rain at all, he uses it when he's on one of his rants and interjects "don't worry, the purple vein dick jokes are coming", sorta thing.

He was very socially aware and he tackles all the issues (everything from globalisation, drugs and drug laws, abortion, sucking satan's cock, everything really), as I said he's a man with a message. But he does it brilliantly - a great mix of serious issues for you to think about delivered in a very rotflmao manner.

You'll love him (I hope!).

Oh my God! He was hysterical. A great loss to the comedy world.

Y'all are going to hate me for this



Sam Kinison and George Carlin

George Carlin is a GOD.

Yes, a sad loss for us all. (:small rant: I detest Denis Leary for stealing Bill's style, and most of his jokes, and even morseso for being too stupid to do it properly. :endofrant:)

This sums Bill up quite nicely :

(from http://www.billhicks.com/bio.html)

At the age of 13 Bill Hicks did his first gig. Six weeks before his death, aged 32, he did the last. In the intervening years he frequently did over 250 gigs a year. He tried to reach as many people as possible, to put them in touch with inner and outer space in a majestic flight of one consciousness thinking. Those he inspired haven't lost the ability to take a ride.

George Carlin and Chris Rock

Richard P.,Chris R. and early Eddie Murphy.Damon Wayans is up there too.I also dig Bill Maher-he pulls no punches.

Sandra Bernhard's "Without You I'm Nothing" is one of the funniest and smartest pieces of comedy I've ever heard. The first time I gave the CD version of this a spin (which I think is far funnier than the film, which is pretty damn funny itself), I was gasping for air after the first ten minutes.

Richard Pryor is the king.

Chris Rock has talent. He's smart, witty and bold. But only on a few occasions has he struck me as downright funny.

I personally think Chris Tucker is FAR funnier than Chris Rock, but unfortuantely he's focused on stupid movies more than his standup roots.

chris rock!

Chris Rock tells it like it is. He pulls no punches, that's why I love him so much.

Billy Connolly!

Sadly I only really know Richard Pryor for being in Superman 3 which Im sure does him some diservice. Although, I did giggle when he was riding that donkey down the mountain side.

"I went to one of those everything for a pound shops, and got myself a nice... house!"

I wish they casted him in Willy Wonka!

Best TV moment that you have been involved in?
“Probably something on 'The Word'. I enjoyed the MC Hammer interview, that was good fun”.

What happened?
"Well he was trying to change his image from twat Hammer to gangster and he was obviously just some rap charlatan. So I came on in all this Hammer gear and danced in front of him. He was really pissed off. Then every time I asked him a question, just before he answered it, I’d go “Stop. It’s hammer time”. Twice would have been funny, but we did it six or seven times in a row and he was fuming. So that was a fun one."

Sean Lock.

I really love British comedians who havn't made it big yet. The world is missing out on some great stuff!

Don't even get me started on this guy

I Harry Hill. I think Harry Hill's TV Burp is the best thing he's done.

TV Burp is his greatest program, and his channel 4 series was really funny to. 'What are we going to do with a room full of genetically modified homosexual corn!'
