Rolling Stone once described Bill Burr as “the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage-fueled humor.” They’re absolutely right. He’s angry about a lot of things in the world. He pretty much goes on stage and yells about it, but there’s an art to it. Where most comedians start a joke out nice and easy, explaining the context and getting everyone on-board, Burr does the equivalent of throwing the audience into the deep end — and then trying to pull them back safely. That combination not only has allowed Burr to come across as a normal guy, but also one of comedy’s most-revered stand-ups among comedians working today.
