Season 02 - Ep21 - The Bill Hicks Special
Hey Doublers (and welcome to visiting Hicks fans),
Oh yes; we've pulled in the 'A' team. Rob, Nick and Tara are all here.
Exciting times as this week's episode features a previously unheard interview of the much-missed comedy legend Bill Hicks by a very young Nick Doody from the stairs of his student house back in 1992.
Bill talks about his obsession with UFOs, the "Dylan Approach" to comedy, and gives tips on giving up smoking. He also asks Nick to support him in Oxford. Listen in to see how that worked out.
Enjoy
Please, please, please subscribe through itunes.

And if you're a passing Hicks fan, we'd love to have you back next week.
Cheers,
Rob and Nick, and Tara

You crapped out of compering his show? That must be a bollocks to think of now!

What a fantastic interview. He was clearly a really nice guy willing to help new comics out.
(And you're right - he does have the same laugh as Stewart Lee)

Excellent interview, really enjoyed it! He came to Edinburgh twice that year when I was around the same age, Balloon I think were there as support on the first, I particularly remember alot of heel stomping and wondering if we'd come to the wrong gig.
