Comedian Bill Burr handles crowd full of drunk hecklers. - General

[img]http://jokes.mtvnimages.com/images/jokes_vertical/video/specials/bill_burr/why_do_i_do_this/burr_why_01_v6.jpg[/img] This is why Bill Burr is probably the greatest comedian in the world apart from Louis Ck. (In my humble opinion) [I]"When several preceding comedians are booed by a drunk and discourteous audience, Bill Burr abandons his prepared material in order to berate the Philly crowd for over 12 minutes."[/I] Basically what happened was that Bill Burr was one of the comedians of a comedy concert tour gone bad. The first comedians that got on stage were immediately boo'd and heckled without even getting a chance to start their material. This led to most of the comedians not even bothering to walk on stage. Bill Burr not only went on but also started a furious tirade against the Philly crowd wich lasted 12 minutes.

why do hecklers even bother, they're paying money to boo a comedian off the stage. [b]paying money[/b]

i love how some of them were laughing at his jokes and clapping

proud to be raised in filthydelphia

Anyone could go up and swear at a crowd for 12 minutes.

I respect the OP for recognizing Louis CK for being the best stand up comedian of all time.

[QUOTE=spekter;26457509]Anyone could go up and swear at a crowd for 12 minutes.[/QUOTE] He didn't just swear at a crowd, maybe if you watched the entire thing you will realise that his entire rant was great improv.

[QUOTE=collegegrad;26457593]I respect the OP for recognizing Louis CK for being the best stand up comedian of all time.[/QUOTE] I seriously just started listening to him about two days ago. He is fucking hilarious, I don't think he's the absolute best, that'd have to be George Carlin, but he is awesome. Bill Burr is great as well. Amazing how he kept a full motherfuckin' 12 minute rage going.

goddamn I love Bill Burr

I love this guy

Too bad most comedians today pay those people to be in the crowd and say things. That way the comedian looks better. Not sure is Bill is one of them.

I think some comedians might do that but saying that most are is just a speculation you have.

"Camden" the only thing I can think of is Earl

Very similar to my Xbox Live experience. I love it.

This is great, but I have a hard time believing he came up with some of it on the spot.

A comedian that can be funny when the entire crowd wants him gone? Fucking hero.
