"COMICS ONLY" was one of the first original programs on the brand-new upstart Comedy Central network. The very first episode featured BILL HICKS and CATHY LADMAN. This is a later appearance of Hicks' on the series.
Much of the material Bill does on his "Comics Only" appearances went on to become classics in his ouvre, appearing on his all-too-few recordings and specials.
On each of his appearances on the series, Bill chose to do material rather than more free-form conversation - largely because at this point in his career, so few other outlets on TV would allow him on to do his material, and he wanted every oportunity to get it out there to a wider audience. Rather than presume people cared to hear him just talk, he felt his material should speak for him.
We think it does.
