Charity Tribute to Comedy Legend - The Sugar Club, Dublin

Despite all the misery of 2020 (so far) we have managed to almost sell out our tribute show, to comedy legend and voice of reason Bill Hicks.

Thanks to the presence of Bills brother Steve Hicks we will have a full on tribute show, to arguably the bravest, most honest and hilarious comedian of a generation. A generation that grew up not really deserving such an influence in their young formative lives.

Perhaps the current batch of young rebels will follow their curiosity and sense of decency. Take a walk down Hicksville and be prepared to go Billistic.

The thing about this thing called life, we always have a chance to redeem ourselves. Get the last of the tickets and enjoy what could be another life affirming experience.

Made in close association with Bill’s family and friends, it features unprecedented access to unseen archive material and a stunning new animation technique throughout.

Considered the definitive film on Hicks’ life, it premiered at London Film Festival and SXSW, was 6th on the iTunes All Time Bestsellers chart, and the 2nd highest grossing documentary in UK cinemas that year.
