Bill Hicks live
Revelations', recorded for Channel 4 at the Dominion Theater in London in 1992, comprises much of the material from the previous two shows, plus a lot else. The English location draws forth some interesting observations on British porn ("What are all those blue dots doing in there?") British airplanes ("There's no smoking but they allow children?") and the then British Prime Minister's Denial That We Sold Weapons to Iraq ("Oh, did we... um, let me see... gosh...").

'It's Just a Ride' is a documentary featuring a brief overview of
Hicks' career, from his earliest appearances at the Comedy Workshop in Austin, Texas in the 1970s to his final show at Carolines in New York in January of 1994, and includes cameo appearances from Eddie Izzard, Sean Hughes, Jay Leno, David Letterman and others. Actor and performance artist Eric Bogosian relates how one of America's leading comedians told him during Desert Storm that he was personally against the Gulf War but would never do material on it as it would cost him too much money and trouble, two things that
Hicks never cared about. The most affecting comments, however, come from
Hicks' parents and his buddies Dwight Slade, Kevin Booth and David Johndrow, who appear to describe some of the gang's early experiments with drugs. Jay Leno, now ruler of the late-night airwaves in the US but in 1980 another struggling L.A comedian along with
Hicks, Jerry Seinfeld and Gary Shandling, turns up looking uneasy, obviously aware of the extremely savage material
Hicks wrote about him, naming him as a corporate sell-out ("...another whore in the capitalist gang-bang,") and sucker of Satan (although it's worth noting that Leno was instrumental on getting
Hicks onto the David Letterman show – proving that
Hicks was always willing to chew the hand that feeds – so his appearance in this documentary can be seen as a sign of the man’s unselfishness). Letterman himself appears, admitting to feeling regret that, after 11 outstanding appearances on the show,
Hicks’ final set - recorded a few months before his death - was cut by network censors.
Hicks wrote a furious 39-page letter to John Lahr, critic for the New Yorker, who appears to applaud
Hicks' stagecraft and anti-authoritarian stand.
