Bill Burr has developed quite a reputation among fans and peers in the entertainment industry. When he's not busy collaborating with other comedians he's transforming mob-like crowds into appreciative fans. Bill displayed his unyielding confidence when he took on crowd of 10,000 unruly Philadelphians who had unmercifully heckled and booed most of the previous comedians. However, Burr dished the abuse right back to the boisterous crowd and eventually won them over.

Aside from confronting angry Philadelphia natives, this Boston Irishman has also become a staple in the wildly successful Chappelle's Show and recently toured on the Rich B*tch comedy tour alongside cast mate Charlie Murphy. Burr's crude and blunt synopsis of his life and the people associated with it fuse perfectly with both the hit show and tour.

Along with receiving the 2005 New York Night Life and 2006 MAC Awards for Best Male Stand Up, Bill has made appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Howard Stern Show, and Comedy Central's One Night Stand.

Do not miss this highly sought after and respected comedian at Denver's very own Comedy Works! Burr is performing on Thursday, August 16th at 8:00pm; Friday, August 17th at 8:00pm and 10:00pm; Saturday, August 18th at 8:30pm and 10:30pm; and Sunday, August 19th at 8:00pm.
