William Melvin "Bill" Hicks foi um comediante, crítico social, e músico norte-americano. Seu material, que abrange uma ampla gama de questões sociais, incluindo a religião, política e filosofia, foi controverso, e muitas vezes mergulhada na comédia de humor negro. Ele criticava o consumismo, a superficialidade, a mediocridade e banalidade dentro dos meios de comunicação e cultura popular, que ele caracterizou como instrumentos de opressão da classe dominante que mantem as pessoas "estúpidas e apáticas".

Aos 16 anos, enquanto ainda estava no colegial, ele começou a se apresentar no Comedy Workshop em Houston, Texas. Durante a década de 1980, ele viajou extensivamente pelos Estados Unidos e fez uma série de aparições de alto-nível na televisão. Mas foi no Reino Unido que ele acumulou uma base significativa de fãs, enchendo grandes locais durante sua turnê de 1991.Ele também atingiu um mínimo de reconhecimento como guitarrista e compositor.

Hicks morreu de câncer pancreático em 26 de Fevereiro de 1994, em Little Rock, Arkansas, com apenas 32 anos de idade. Nos anos seguintes - em particular depois de uma série de lançamentos de álbuns póstumos - sua obra ganhou um grau significativo de elogios nos círculos criativos. Alguns comediantes que citaram Hicks como influência incluem Margaret Cho, Joe Rogan, Lewis Black,Patton Oswalt, David Crosse Russell Brand Wikipedia
