Possibly. Bill Hicks biographers [i've read 'em all] say &#8211; and it&#8217;s true &#8211; that when at the Montreal Festival Leary stole in full Hicks entire act&#8230;. ?! But Dennis got great acclaim for the material. Other controversy&#8230; probably one of the hardest comedians to find non-offensive -yet funny- material on &#8211; which made my job once again very difficult.</p><p>That said &#8211; he is a funny guy &#8211; and for the MTV generation this one is a real contender for a reeling in the years funniest nomination. Love him or loathe him &#8211; he&#8217;s now one of the greats. Enjoy <img
