Review: American: The Bill Hicks Story



The Los Angeles debut of American: The Bill Hicks Story was at the LA Downtown Film Festival last night. The documentary is a love story between a comedian and his family. Hicks’ mother (who was at the screening) says in the film, “I had three children, a boy, a girl and…a baby.”

Hicks died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 32 in 1994. He clocked in nearly 20 years of stand up comedy in his short life, starting the craft at the age of 13.
