US comedian. Don't think he's well known in the UK. I'm a big fan of his.
Couple of his bits:

Bill Burr
His last couple of albums are really good/darker.
He's playing in London this October.
Saw him in London last October - great show and he gave out free DVDs to all in attendance. He also does a free podcast every Monday which is very nice of him.
Good ol' Billy red face is coming back to our shores this December, hurrah!
Dec 7 - London - The Forum SOLD OUT
Dec 8 - London - The Forum
Dec 9 - Dublin - Vicar Street
He's promised a Scottish date too so expect that to be announced shortly.
I first heard of Bill Burr several years ago when he used to appear on The Opie and Anthony Show (a US radio show). I'd kind of forgotten about him until I started watching Breaking Bad - which he pops up in. Anyway, I decided to watch one of his shows and it was pretty funny. It's on YouTube at:

I'd love to go see him one day. If I'd have known about his London dates before today I would have booked up.
Going to see him in a couple of weeks and I can't wait. Big fan of Opie & Anthony too.
How aaaaaaaaaaaah yah?
Just thought I'd give Bill Burr a little love on here, seeing as he's my favourite stand-up comedian, and makes hilarious podcasts (on mondays and thursdays) which you can listen to via his website: http://www.billburr.com/
Well worth checking out his stand up DVDs if you've never heard of him.
Here's a thing on YouTube he did: "Bill Burr gives us a tour of...(different american cities)". They're not as funny as his stand up stuff(they're just meant to be little city tours with him talking to camera about anything that comes to mind) but if you're bored they're an entertaining way to spend 20 mins or so. (NSFW,language-wise): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z21aoScFaQ&list=RD1z21aoScFaQ#t=20
Anyway, if you like his stuff, go do him a solid and buy his DVDs or see his stand-up show (hopefully he'll be touring the UK again soon) because apparently his house is ####ed up and he needs the money to repair it.
Thanks people!
He is awesome.
