Bill Hicks, who died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 aged just 32, produced a body of work that grew more influential after his death than during his lifetime. His 1991 special Relentless and 1993's Revelations redefined observational comedy through dark philosophical provocation. Hicks's material on advertising, politics, and consumerism inspired a generation including Russell Brand and Joe Rogan, who described him as the greatest comedian of all time.
