****21 and Over****

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.”

Bill’s first hour special, “Why Do I Do This?” premiered on Comedy Central on August 31 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.”

Bill recently shot a pilot for his own weekly series for Comedy Central. Hosted and exec produced by Burr, the prospective show would focus on a single theme or topic and explore it through Bill's point of view using standup, sketch and digital shorts.

When in New York, Burr always drops in on “The Opie and Anthony Show” and eats at Ray’s Famous Pizza, because he “loves all three of those mother fuckers.” Bill also co-hosts his own SiriusXM radio show, “Uninformed”, with fellow comedian Joe Derosa.

In the future Bill hopes to get married, have some kids, and get a dog. 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.
