Bill Burr
Bill Burr grew up in a large family outside of Boston, getting his first laughs imitating his lunatic father. Always putting laughter before his studies, Bill's dreams of pursuing any sort of respectable profession died in the sixth grade. In 1992, Bill was working in a warehouse with a friend. "We were watching 'Stand-Up Spotlight' and this guy mentioned that he kind of wanted to be a comedian. He was like 'Dude, these guys suck. They stink; they're not funny. I am going to go try this.' The second he said that, my life changed. All of a sudden, being a comedian wasn't on TV anymore, it was sitting right next to me. I figured 'Well shit, if he's gonna try it, I'm gonna do it too.' That combined with the fact that I sucked at everything else in life. In 1995, Bill moved to New York, The Big Apple to pursue his dream. Eight months later, he moved to Los Angeles, CA . There he worked on a number of film and television projects. Bill returned to New York City in 1999, to get back to his roots and concentrate on comedy.
Now Bill snuggles warmly in the loving arms of that treacherous lady we call 'stand up.'
Bill performs over three hundred shows annually, has two movies to be released in the up coming year, as well as a performance on David Letterman. In 2004, Bill began working on Chappelle's Show, he was the white guy. In September, 2005 Bill's HBO comedy special aired. Along with many other projects, Bill is currently a guest comedian on the Opie and Anthony show on XM Radio, See him before he blows up and charges more than he's worth.
