Big Bad Bill

Please don't boo Mr. Burr

By Noah W. Bailey

Published on January 17, 2008

Comedian Bill Burr is known mostly for his work on Chappelle's Show and the Opie and Anthony Show, where he often serves as a fill-in for kindred spirit Jim Norton. However, we remember him best for the 2006 tirade he unleashed on an unappreciative Camden, New Jersey, audience (most of which was from Philadelphia), during which he insulted the Eagles, the Flyers, dock workers and the audience's mothers in a 10-minute fit of foul-mouthed, off-the-cuff genius. Check it out on YouTube and see Burr in person Thursday through Sunday at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Call 972-404-8501 or visit improv.com.
