Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out

Like any other long time fan of Bill Burr, I was really excited for this new special. Can't say I enjoyed the result, though.

This special has the same dynamics of his podcast. Bill rants about specific subjects, exposing his raw (and hilarious) opinions about politics, the population problem and other subjects that his long time listeners are already used to.

The point is: in the previous specials the jokes were sharp and had zero fat. This one looks like a job still to be finished. Bill went from "funny old man mad at the world" to "crazy uncle Bill went too far in the rabbit hole". It's like he didn't have time to develop the jokes due to his personal life at this very moment.

It's still worth taking a look, though.

I love Bill Burr. His last special, I'm Sorry You Feel That Way, is one of the best I've ever seen. His podcasts are hilarious as are his appearances on podcasts and late night shows, especially Conan. I hate to say this, but this is not as good as the previous one or even as some of his podcasts or appearances. Some bits I've already heard on Conan and elsewhere he appeared, others felt overly long and acted out too much. I'm afraid being married and expecting / having a kid might have reduced his "psychosis" as he admits to trying to being less angry and stuff. It's really difficult to come up with 10 lines of review, so I recommend listening to his podcast for those who haven't until now.

Like the reviewers before me, I'm a weekly listener of the MMP and a huge fan of his specials. I've probably listened to each of them twenty times. I've been waiting over two years for this one to finally arrive. But, this special did not get off the ground for me. Some of the bits seemed rehashed, some of the phrasings recycled and it seemed like at one or two points, he lost his way in the material and had to circle back around. There weren't the memorable bits that hit you like a comedy asteroid that each of his earlier specials delivered. I don't think the crowd felt the pull his stand up usually DEMANDS! This didn't have the weight or the force of his previous work. It was a disappointment.

He should have chosen a different location for this special. These people are too sensitive. Did they know anything about Bill or were they just randomly selected from the street? I am not saying that this was his best stand-up performance but the audience wasn't the best either.

Compared to his other specials this one is not on same level, got some very funny moments but overall its missing something.

I got feeling like I was watching MMPC, Im not saying that like it is a bad thing, it just didn't feel like a special. Its more like video from youtube.
