Bill Burr is one of the few comedians alive that can fill arenas as a stand-up comedian. The list of comedians that can attract crowds that large is very small, and Bill is on it for sure. He’ll be swinging back through Florida this week from Jacksonville on the 18th, to Orlando’s Amway Center on the 19th, and Estero’s Hertz Arena on the 20th. Recently Bill called in to discuss the dozens of projects he’s involved in on a regular basis. You can see everything Bill does and has done, in his bio that I posted after the interview.
