Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast Addendum: March 1, 2010 -

The podcast is only appearing on BillBurr.com as of now. It's not for DL on iTunes yet.

OFF THE BAT

Early 'SUCK' warning on this one. Usually it takes Bill til the 20 minute mark to realize the direction of the podcast. The best part is that most of the time he thinks they suck - they're actually really good. Chiming in at the 3 minute mark about its 'suck' level - could be a good one.

Update: eh.....

Canada takes the Gold.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

To: THE IMPROV

From: RATIONAL FEMALE COMEDY CLUB PATRON

"To Whom It May Concern,

I attended Bill Burr's first show on Friday the 26th, and was utterly appalled by his performance. I love comedy, and I certainly expect there to be rudeness, crudity and offensive topics - that's what makes it fun. That being said, Bill Burr took it way too far and was quite unprofessional to say the least. While initially there was indeed a lot to laugh at. The show ended up being a complete disappointment. For at least 30 minutes he blasphemed God and the name of Jesus Christ. He outright degraded the Catholic religion, although I do not belong to this religion. It was offensive and what he said went on and on.

While this type of thing should be expected, he took it way to far. And there was a young lady who like I was becoming offended. And said a few words to someone at her table. When he rudely addressed her, she told him that she was catholic. He had no apologies or considerations just utter disrespect. After he finally got off that subject his show got worse. It appeared to my friends and i that he may be getting heat from some of the audience and felt uncomfortable. This may very well be the reason he continued to pick on the lady even at one point telling her to shut the fuck up. This is downright unprofessional. Who said you can't say a few words to someone at the table. They were quietly speaking and making no noise whatsoever. On the other side there was a table talking quite a bit more and they were louder due to the drinks. They were more disruptive than anything, but he made jokes about it. We are convinced that his wrong demeanor was due to his discomfort after he realized he offended some of the audience. In order to justify himself and ease any tension coming from the audience member he said, 'don't listen to me I'm just an idiot up here. Pray for me'. I am very surprised that your club hosted this comedian. It was a true disappointment. I am embarrassed as I was the one who suggested the Improv when my friends were planning on seeing a comedy show. I do hope that you will consider not having this comedian back as he gives your club a bad name. If this had been my first time to the Improv I never would have returned. YOu might consider hiring some local talent there are some really good comedians I can get you in touch with.....

As for the lady hi picked on - she and her table were unjustifiably asked to leave. There was no grounds on having them escorted from the grounds right in the middle of it. Again - they were not being disruptive at all. If it hadn't been Bill Burr, no one would have even noticed them. The loud table on the other side though is the one that took attention away from the show. I do understand that it is private property and anyone can be asked to leave, but this was the wrong time to do it. I personally believe she should get an apology from the Improv, but most importantly Bill Burr.

STRAIGHT TO THE DOME

Bill's looking to raise his IQ and heighten his all around intellectual consciousness.

You may be inclined to read a book or maybe even go back to school to do all of this. If that's not your bag...
