About the Show
Hit US comedian Bill Burr, dubbed as ‘one of the country’s best stand-ups’ by Time Out Chicago, has today announced that he will be crossing the pond to perform for the very first time to UK fans at the Leicester Square Theatre London on Thursday 18TH March.
Bill Burr is an American comedian or a comedian from the North American Union, depending on when you read this. He grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts and did fairly poorly in school, despite the fact that he applied himself.
Having first gained notoriety for his recurring role on the second season of “Chappelle’s Show,” Burr developed a comedic style of uninformed logic that has made him a regular performer on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” And on June 8, Bill was honored to be the first comedian to perform on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.” In 2010 Bill will be seen in the Steve Carell & Tina Fey feature, “Date Night,” and he will star in his second hour Comedy Central special, which was recorded in December 2009 at The Fillmore in San Francisco.
Bill’s “Monday Morning Podcast,” an off-the-cuff weekly rant that has become a fan favorite, is available to play or download through Bill’s website and is available on iTunes. Bill co-hosts his own Sirius XM radio show, “Uninformed”, with fellow comedian Joe Derosa.
Bill’s first hour special, “Why Do I Do This?” premiered on Comedy Central in the fall of 2008 to rave reviews and is now available on CD and DVD. His first CD, “Emotionally Unavailable: Expanded Edition,” was released by What Are Records. Bill starred in his own HBO “One Night Stand” and “Comedy Central Presents” half hour specials and he has performed on “Showtime at the Apollo,” BET’s “Comic View” and Jamie Foxx’s “Laffapalooza.” In the future Bill hopes to get married and have some kids. But until then, he will continue to spend most of his mid-afternoons sitting in his sweatpants learning AC/DC songs on his SG. Bill is against organized religion and believes we should go back to the gold standard for our currency. None of his opinions are based on any sort of reliable information. He tends to go with his first thought, because reading makes him sleepy.
