In Defense if I may...,
By Lilly J (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comedy Central's Roast of Denis Leary (DVD)
ALL comedians 'take' or 'borrow' material and you would know this if you have watched years of stand up comedy! Yes Bill Hicks is certainly one of the best, but get over it! You can watch Bill religiously, remembering all his lines, and still not be able to make people laugh. Denis is a funny guy. His friends are funny guys. The roast is good entertainment for those that aren't offended or precious. It didn't rate it's arse off because everyone thinks Denis stole all his stuff from Hicks. No one cares obviously. Don't fear. Hicks memory is not being stomped on... and lets face it, imitation is the sincerest form of flatery, don't you think? This is a great show, top dvd and I had a good old laugh. Lighten up, have a smoke and knock back a beer. Life isn't to be taken too seriously!

By zaly (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comedy Central's Roast of Denis Leary (DVD)
it may be true that dennis swipped his whole repitwar from Hicks however dinnis peformance kicks the arse off Hicks..... and surly thats what counts people have this fasination with hicks, thinking hes some kind of profit or god, and although he may have been one of the gratest stand ups ever..... his performances were at time somwhat lackluster (exsept for goat boy).... any way buy this DVD or ill find out where u live and kill your puppy..... Three cheres for leary and the rediculs views for which he stands!

Denis Leary STOLE EVERYTHING from BILL HICKS,
By
This review is from: Comedy Central's Roast of Denis Leary (DVD)
This roast has some amusing moments, but no one had the balls to confront Denis about the fact that he lifted the majority of his act from Bill Hicks. His entire "angry smoking guy" shtick was lifted from Bill and Denis Leary should be ASHAMED OF HIMSELF. Besides, what kind of an ego does this guy have to PRODUCE a roast of himself? Do yourself a favor and don't buy this DVD. Go buy any of Bill Hicks' CDs from Amazon. They are all very good (except Philosophy, which is more of a disjointed greatest hits package) and they are all much better than Denis Leary will ever be.
