William Melvin " Bill " Hicks ( December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994 ) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, and musician.

Hicks was 16 years old when he started performing stand-up comedy at the Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas, in 1978.

It was in the UK, however, where Hicks first amassed a significant fan base, packing large venues with his 1991 tour.

Today, Dan and the Hot Licks tour internationally and still reflect Hicks ' original vision.
