He's one of those who's a bit too scary to be popular, ever. That idea of transgression in comedy, where it goes beyond 'joke > punchline > audience'. I know you're not overly fond of Hicks (and I'm not either) but him and Jerry Sadowicz [sp?] are very good at comedy that's so vitriolic it stops being funny and becomes quite tragic (which is an avenue of comedy rarely explored in stand-up).
Anyway, I remember seeing the Divine David when I was on the other side of puberty very late at night on channel 4 and being absolutely petrified. Amazing.
