Hicks was extremely influential, hilarious and before-his-time. Recorded
at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal in 1992, Bill Hicks’ Relentless finds
the legendary comedian at the top of his game. With classic jokes
railing against non-smokers, musicians who don’t use drugs, and the
(then current) Gulf War effort, Relentless is essential
Hicks both for the newcomer and super fan.
“Working with the Hicks legacy is an honor for all of us at Comedy
Dynamics and we are thrilled to partner with Fathom Events to bring his
work to the big screen,” said Brian Volk-Weiss, President of Production
at Comedy Dynamics.
Fathom Events VP of Programming, Kymberli Frueh-Owens said, “This late,
great comedian truly set the bar for modern stand-up and was an
influential creative force behind many of today’s most popular
comedians. Even decades after his passing, this comedic genius is still
lauded.”
