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, Bill developed a comedic style of uninformed logic that has made him a regular with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.
From January through May 2019, Bill toured the U.K. and Europe and on March 4 & 5 he shot his sixth hour-long special at London’s Royal Albert Hall. This summer Bill is shooting the untitled Judd Apatow/Pete Davidson film alongside Marisa Tomei, and he is working on the fourth season of his hit animated Netflix series, F Is For Family, featuring Bill, Laura Dern and Justin Long as the Murphy family. The third season premiered on November 30, 2018, the second season premiered on May 30, 2017, and the first season premiered on December 18, 2015.
Bill can be seen in the films, The Front Runner, starring Hugh Jackman, Daddy’s Home with Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, Black or White with Kevin Costner, Walk of Shame with Elizabeth Banks, The Heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, Stand Up Guys with Al Pacino and Christopher Walken, and Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey.
Bill received raves for his recurring role as “Kuby” on the hit AMC-TV show, Breaking Bad and he was seen in multiple episodes of the hit Comedy Central show, Kroll Show. He guest starred on Fox TV’s New Girl in 2013 and contributed to the 2012 and 2011 ESPYS.
One of the most popular comedy podcasts on the web, Bill’s Monday Morning Podcast, is an off-the-cuff, twice-weekly rant that has become a fan favorite. Bill began the podcast in May of 2007.
Founded by Bill and Al Madrigal, All Things Comedy (ATC), is owned and operated by comedians, giving each comedian not only the opportunity to create the content they think is funny but to take ownership in the company that distributes it. Today, ATC is the leading comedy podcast network with over 50 shows hosted by some of the best comedians in the business. After experiencing rapid audience growth over the past five years, ATC has launched a full-scale studio creating digital series and a development slate for television and feature distribution. In the fall of 2018, ATC announced a production deal with Comedy Central to produce an original stand-up series hosted by Bill along with three one-hour stand-up specials. The first one-hour special under the deal, Bill Burr Presents Paul Virzi: I’ll Say This, premiered on November 2, 2018 on Comedy Central.
