Bill Burr
(aka Billy Burr
) is an American stand-up comedian, born June 10, 1968 in Canton, Massachusetts.
In 1995, he moved to New York City and lived there for eight months. He then moved to Los Angeles, California, where he worked on a number of film and television projects. He returned to New York in 1999 and moved back to Los Angeles in 2008, where he currently resides.
He performs over three hundred shows annually, had two movies released in 2006, and has performed on The Late Show with David Letterman
, Late Night with Conan O'Brien
, and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
. In early 2004, he appeared in two episodes of Chappelle's Show
, and in September 2005, his HBO One Night Stand
special aired. Along with many other projects, Burr has also been a guest comedian on the Bob and Tom Show as well as on the Opie and Anthony Show
on XM Satellite Radio, sometimes sitting in when third member Jim Norton is away. He has also performed on the Comedy Central Presents
show.
In 2006, he gained notoriety among comedic circles for an incident in Camden, New Jersey as a part of Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour. Prior to Burr, comedian Dom Irrera was booed. Burr, the following comedian, criticized the audience as shallow. He abandoned his scripted material entirely, proceeding to hurl profanity-laced insult after insult toward the crowd (mostly from nearby Philadelphia). He incorporated historic Philadelphia references into the tirade. He continued in this off-the-cuff manner for over ten minutes, and was treated to a lengthy standing ovation as he left the stage.
On December 16, 2006, Burr hosted a three-hour radio show on Opie and Anthony's XM radio channel program The Virus
(channel 202) titled " with Bill Burr & Joe DeRosa" from 9pm-12am. The second Uninformed
show aired February 10, 2007 from 9pm-12am, and the show has continued to run on an irregular schedule about once a month. Since Burr's move to Los Angeles, it has primarily been a pre-taped show, rather than live.
In September 2007 Burr signed with Colorado independent label What Are Records?. His debut album Emotionally Unavailable: Expanded Edition
was released October 16, 2007.
Emotionally Unavailable
carries content previously available only in Burr’s stand-up shows. It features a completely unedited set with Burr covering topics from rednecks to inadvertent racism to relationship books to crazy people on the subway. The Expanded Edition
augments that album with previously unreleased highlights from a different tour - the Houston stop of the I’m Rich Biatch Tour
which Bill co-headlined with Chappelle's Show
cast mates Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings. Much of the material from this tour later turned up on Burr’s HBO stand-up special.
As with other comics associated with The Opie & Anthony Show
, in 2008, Bill's voice was featured in the game Grand Theft Auto IV. In the game, Bill plays a member of a biker gang in the mission "No Love Lost". In 2009, he reprised his role in the game's expansion pack The Lost and Damned. He is a Boston Bruins fan and periodically blogs for NHL.com.
