比爾希克斯是史上最負盛名的單人脫口秀的喜劇演員。自童年受到喜劇演員伍迪艾倫的啟發，開始了他的創作歷程，在高中畢業後便展開個人巡演，不到三十歲就以廣受英美觀眾的歡迎。以十位與比爾最親近的家人朋友的訪談，加上顛覆傳統的動畫風格，串接成其自童年走到家喻戶曉的喜劇大師富傳奇色彩與魅力的一生。

Much more than a comedian, Bill HICKS was and still is an inspiration to millions. His timeless comedy tackled the contradictions of America and modern life head on. But his unique gift was to tease apart the essence of religion, the dangers of unbridled government power and the double standards inherent in much of modern society, using nothing but his hilarious ideas and the uncompromising observational style that continues to resonate with successive generations.
