Bill Burr: Why Do I Do This?... Funny Stuff

[juliankennedy23 · 8/10 · 14 October 2009]

Bill Burr: Why Do I Do This?: 8 out of 10: Stand up comedy acts are can be difficult to review. After all what is funny is somewhat subjective. Bill Burr is funny. His act is fresh and the concert film is free from those ridiculous distractions that plague so many comedy concert films nowadays.

He delivers his lines with perfect timing and attitude. Whether it is battling his demons that cause him to drive through pedestrians on the sidewalk or dealing with racist grandmothers, he is on target with his material without a wasted word or gesture.

Some may find his material misogynistic and offensive and often it is. It is also damn funny.

Brilliant

Baring in mind that stand up comedy is subjective, this is one of my favourites. All of Bill Burr's stand up specials are, to me, top shelf.

His ability to speak the truth in hilarious comedic way that should be controversial yet is never that, just shows what a pure genius and hard-working stand up comedian Bill Burr is. His delivery, timing, speed and body language all compliment each other and make this a masterclass is comedy.

One of the best in a two-decade dominance of the stand up world.
