Bill Burr at Moore Theatre

Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Burr as the 15th best stand-up act of all time. He’s been doing his thing since 1992, and quite frankly, it’s a miracle that he’s still on stage in this day and age. It speaks to the type of comedy that people really want to see! At least some people, but in comedy, it is understood that not every act is going to appeal to a wide audience. Burr is the perfect example of this! At the Moore Theater, he’ll stand on stage each of the four nights and loudly argue his points about society in general.

What makes Burr appealing to a lot of people is the same thing that makes others despise him. Again, in comedy, threading that line is actually ideal waters for a comedian. He’s someone who goes on stage to tell jokes and provide commentary on rather taboo subjects. Even though it may hurt some people to admit it, many share his points of view but are afraid of dsying some of the same things that he says out loud.

With Burr you want to get him at least a little on the wild side during his shows. When he starts going high pitch and even yelling you know that things are going to get good. That may the perfect time to look into the crowd to try and spot some of those people who are feeling uncomfortable with his jokes. Burr’s one of the best in the business at getting under people’s skin and using that to make sure that the rest of the audience is engaged with his performance.

His MO is a dark comedy, so don’t expect the man to put on a kid-friendly show. It’s not what he can provide, and it’s also not what his fans go to see him for. The Seattle shows are coming up just as Burr had a heated discussion with Bill Maher over the war in Israel. Some of his appearances on late-night shows are usually going to make their way to his comedy sets at some point. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on what he’s doing before that June 27th date at the Moore Theater in Seattle. That way, you’ll have a good context of where his jokes are coming from.

The Moore Theater is one of the top venues in the country, particularly for comedy shows. Literally, any seat in the house is going to give you a great view of the stage. The indoor venue ensures that you’ll be able to hear Burr’s outrageous takes, even from all the way in the back. Get your tickets fast, though they’re selling out quickly!
