Comedian Bill Burr performs a stand-up routine at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado in 2021.
I set my expectations a bit low before watching this. I'm a big Bill Burr fan but his last TV special was the awful Friends Who Kill. Admittedly it was a multi-comedian event and he was just the host but even his segment felt forced and far below his usual standard.
I needn't have worried. Back in his element - performing alone and with an hour or so to comment on and rant about anything he likes - Bill Burr is fantastic. The humour is un-PC and irreverent, not just going where the serially offended fascists don't want comedians to go but also pointing out the stupidity and lack of balance in their views.
It's not just anti-woke, there's also some hilarious observations on family life and life in general. This all done in Burr's inimitable intense, over-the-top fashion.
Excellent show.

Bill Burr quality Stand up in a beautiful location but with the most horrible audience. Just shows how much Bill Burr is a professional to continue with all the stupid 'Yeah or Woo' shouts that generated regardless of the content.
If you were a fan you will not be disappointed. From silly jokes to politics, there might be a few hit or miss but overall it's a strong special. Bill has been diving into deeper personal issues since Paper Tiger and it truly shows he's growing not only as a comedian but as a person.

This definitely takes the cake.
Its so well written and delivered and shows why both Burr and Chapelle are standup icons taking no prisoners on the stage today.
It's hard to not to laugh at what Bill talks about cause if you're honest with yourself and been through some things and seen a bit more than the average Joe or Josephine, well you would understand and laugh too, cause he makes it all too real and funny at the same time.

Not his best special but still much better than most. Not every subject is completely PC but that's why he always gives you a solid performance. Need comedians to get close to that "line" What's great is he finishes really strong.

After "friends who kill" I had ridiculously low expectations for this so much that I almost didn't watch it. The first 15 minutes, maybe more, weren't all that but eventually it gets better, if you're a Bill Burr fan that is because it's his usual anger-fueled, unfiltered harangue type comedy he's known for, so it gets better as it goes. I don't think it's his best work but after friends who kill the bar was pretty low. In my opinion Paper Tiger is his best work and it'll always be one of my favorite specials so I always watch his latest specials with that in mind. This was still good though, my favorite was his bit on feminism and how women are better, and his interaction with kitchen or tv with his daughter. As bill burr has mentioned on several occasions previously he's not a well read man but I love how he always tries to make his argument reasonable or make sense logically, I love it when comedians say something that's politically incorrect but can make you think "well he's not wrong though". This is him going back to the bill burr we love, ranting about everything he thinks is silly with the world. It's a bit meh at the beginning and maybe I just feel that way because he went on topics such as the woke agenda and Covid which have been tuckered out by every other comedian recently that it feels like a cheap shot to me even if it's good; but the other ¾ of the show was a solid 7 if this is your type of humor.

Bill Burr gets better and better. 2nd, probably, only to Chappelle in the stand up game he shines in this mega show. He tackles to pandemic, woke culture, relationships and more with his biting humor. He is a great and engaging talent and this show is super funny.

It's a good standup set, doesn't compare to "you people are all the same" as it lacks a bit of the ire that he had years ago. It's solid, entertaining, it will offend but also make you think and it goes by quickly enough. My wife was laughing hard at some points but ultimately fell asleep during the "family life" segment.

It's a decent enough stand-up special. I often find Bill Burr entertaining without ever loving his specials, as he tackles topics that are kind of tired in a way that's usually amusing, thankfully, but never hilarious (not to me at least). Topics like gender, being in your 40s/50s, the "struggles" of fame, politics, cancel culture, the difficulties of being a comedian in current times- all those sorts of things.
I do like how he rides a line of being almost too much of an angry middle-aged comedian, but dials it back just after that he never goes too far. It ties into the whole making jokes out of ordinary topics thing, and while Burr is better than 90% of the comedians who tackle those topics in a way that's unbearable to watch, he's not quite among the few that can spin that stuff miraculously into gold; more like very listenable and sometimes amusing bronze.

I have always been a fan of the way Bill straddles both sides of the issues. Poking fun at the lunatics of the world. I have laughed at maybe 3 stand up sets ever as hard as I did here.
I'm a huge fan of the guy, but this special was weak. He's getting mature, he's married and a dad, he's working on his own issues and trauma. Good for him, but it means he's ranting less, and his growth story is not delivered in an overly funny way. Not that his previous gems were only due to his anger, but this just felt a bit boring. None of the usual Bill Burr magic. Maybe staying home for two years didn't help with testing out routines in clubs and finding new material. A lot of recycled topics, jokes that when you know his previous works, felt stale.

Just ok. Hits on all the typical hot button controversial but not so unique topics. Nothing shocking, some bits were amusing.
Definitely not as good as his older stuff.
I think the fact the audience cheered and clapped more than they laughed wasn't positive. It's supposed to be a comedy show, not a preaching.

This special is by far his best to date. I have loved everyone if his specials . This special has me laughing from the entire time.. Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle are two of the best all time comedians.. Thank you Bill for exceeding my expectations in this special ... I thought it would be 2nd only to the closer .. I honestly feel the closer and live at the red rock are the two best standup comedy specials all time . I hope they inspire more and more artists to keep freedom of artistic expression alive for generations to come.... No one compares to these two masters of their craft.

When you listen to his take on woke culture, the abortion debate, and many subjects he's been telling on this show, you cannot stop thinking how brilliant and funny this guy is. It's so good to see that His unique delivery of the jokes and bravery is still the same. He didn't disappoint.

Bit of comedy here from a member of the top 5 club.
This one ranks somewhere in the middle of all his specials imo.
Had a few chuckles here and there but was generally entertained to watch the whole special.
You may enjoy this comedy special if you like the topics of covid, abortion or lesbians lol.

This wasn't even comedy but just facts . Funny as hell haha but too honest for cancel culture to handle . That right there is art , expressing of opinions that are supposed to be simple and true but in this world we live in , Bill Burr could be punished for his artistic expression of how he views the world . It's worth a watch.

Bill Burr is a stand-up comedian that I always liked to watch performing on stage. This time he performs at Red Rocks, a lovely place for a show. It was a good show, funny like always, but it wasn't his best show. Bill Burr is a born raconteur with a good, a bit sarcastic, sense of humour. I didn't really agree about his mask policy but everybody is entitled to his opinion. To me the so called pandemic was just a farce, a bit more than six millions dead (well that's their numbers) in more than three years is just ridiculously low for a pandemic. When you know we get daily 250000 new humans we can't really talk about a devastating disease. Also his vision of our planet being overpopulated, which I totally agree with, is a bit rich coming from a man with two kids himself, so there he should just avoid that topic if I were him. That said the rest was what I expected from him, good moments, clever jokes, a pleasant stand-up comedy evening.

Bill Burr is one of my top favorite comedians. He's up there with Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, etc...You can just feel his anger, understandably. There's not one of his specials I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. He's bold, offensive, hilarious. And he really digs deep into tough topics, unapologetically. I think that's my favorite part of his comedy style. He just does not give a fk about offending people.

Huge bill Burr fan, but this special just picks at low-hanging fruit that's been done a million times. It's not offensive or thought-provoking, it's just kind of boring. A couple laughs here and there but nowhere near as good as his other specials.

Props to the wardrobe manager for making Bill look like Dr. Evil, you obviously know "FASHION" as Dr. Evil would say.
Keep sober brother. Keep us laughing. You stay happy. Keep your family safe.
God bless less from one to another from the other 5th (<=>).
Love you man. Keep up the great work.

I give Ol' Billy Paprika Pube's special 9 Gringo Papi's, rounded up to a 10. I love how Bill makes fun of a group on one side of a debate, alienating that group and making the other side happy, then immediately comes back with the other viewpoint flipping the script. He also subtly makes fun of the group he's currently supporting in each of his rants keeping everyone off balance. He is a master of his craft and hilarious at the same time.

The next chapter in the ongoing story of the Bill Burr Story. I saw some negative commentary. Some disappointed viewers. I don't understand why. Bill is back and he is still in top form. This was a great set as usual. The highly opinionated yet hysterical comedian delivers another hilarious diatribe on modern day life and several contemporary issues. He doesn't hold back and I am certain some folks will be offended. It's comedy folks. Sit back, listen and laugh. We all need to let off some steam and release some anger from everyday life. Bill provides another sharp tongued comedy special in where he isn't afraid to tackle some of today's controversial social environment. I was glad to see that he didn't tone down his performance tempo and maintains his usual honest and sometimes brutal perspectives. I was waiting a long time for this special and I was not disappointed. Thank you Bill. I needed a good laugh and you always deliver. 👍🏻

You'll know why when you watch this special. I had forgotten what comedy specials were supposed to be. For a few years now, there has been a glut of specials that range from pure woke garbage created for applause breaks (Ilana Glazer) to idiotic, over-the-top WWE style pyrotechnic intros (Iliza Schlessinger) to inexplicable garbage (Adam Devine) and then a series of lacklustre, mediocre group specials brought to you by Bill Burr or Pete Davidson. Oh, and the unwatchable 'Mom Jeans' by Christina P.
It has been so long since I've watched a special where I was sore from laughing that I forgot they exist. Until now. Old Billy Blue Balls talks about his anger issues, his Dad growing up and best of all, women's failure at feminism. You must see this now.
