Anything by the late, great Texan stand-up is a welcome addition and this previously unavailable recording of a 1992 show finds him on fine, and surprisingly relaxed, form - especially for a chain-smoker in the throes of giving up "The only place the nicotine patch works is over the mouth".
The content has some similarities with last year's video, Totally Bill Hicks, but there's a bit less of his "goat boy" rants and a lot more specifically English material on his discovery of snooker and English porn.
On the hit-list: fundamentalist Christians, Madonna's Sex book, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer and Basic Instinct (the man had taste). If Shock and Awe seems an inappropriately contemporary title for a man who died in 1994, forget it: his analogy of the US with Jack Palance in Shane is ever more apt and for "George Bush is the child of Satan" just substitute "grandchild".
Another great reminder of a passionate iconoclast and thoroughly recommended unless you are in marketing or advertising, in which case you may find the content distressing.
