Fall in Love Friday – Wild Bill Fire Hands
I just have to share my latest youtube obsession. My friend Nick introduced me to the funniness, the absolute oddity of the man, the unique character, Wild Bill Fire Hands.
Now first watch this video to get a sense of this guy. You’d think he was one of the characters on Tim and Eric. (BTW NSFW)
He’s a performance artist/spoken word performer/musician. And he’s one of those precious souls who doesn’t realize how funny he is. Watch this video where he boasts of how long he has been lighting his hands on fire while he accidentally lights his hair on fire.
And the crème de la crème is this scene from an upcoming documentary of Wild Bill trying to make a music video by scaling down a building on some rope while also trying to play guitar, sing, and of course, light his hands on fire. Major kudos to the director for capturing such amazingness on film. I can’t wait to see the documentary.

Hi Mary
Thanks for posting about Wild Bill and my film! I am currently editing the movie… I wanted to alert you that the first video is no longer active. You may want to select a different one to point to. Good luck with your exploits! Best, Robby.
