    Christ, why do these constantly offended people buy tickets to be offended again and again.


    Was this not a p*sstake of him going on about "why don't you blog about it?"...?

    Absolutely amazing gig. Even if he repeated some material from his previous shows (the bit where why would be praise a war "hero" for pointing towards the battlefield).

    The idiots cheering for Trump and the ol' switcheroo had me in stitches.

    He recorded his Monday morning podcast from a hotel here... probably record the Thursday one before the gig from London.

    Made it in for about half of the support fella. I may have been too sober... didn't find him funny at all (yes, humour is subjective).

    Also, he's 50 on Sunday (only know that through the podcast).

    I actually thought he was ok if the jokes were a but "Irish" laughing at bangardai's height etc.

    He got a fair few laughs consistently through his short set.

    Not surprised, she was getting some stick for it. Lucky enough though, I still had it open in another tab :P

    She obviously wouldn't laugh at anything. What a fooking idiot. What was she expecting from a Bill Burr gig?

    Nah don't think so.

    She later deleted her post as I think people were pulling her up on the tweet.

    Can't wait for this episode of the podcast now. Hopes he rips Dublin a new hole.

    Bill even mentioned at the start of his #MeToo bit that it is getting more difficult to do controversial jokes in the US because people are becoming far too sensitive and reactionary because of social media. The irony of it all!

    went last night as Im a big fan of the bi-weekly pod cast for the last few years. He was spot on throughout in my opinion. Even for jokes that didn't land with an Irish audience he openly acknowledged that we wouldn't have a clue about what he was talking about and moved on... command of the stage was exceptional. Engaging and reacting to an audience that size was also brilliant. My wife came with me and had never heard of him but she thought he was brilliant and was laughing out loud for some of it... she particularly liked the me-too and first responder material. The emotionless father material had me in tears... overall brilliant and also cant wait for the thursday-morning-just-before-friday-monday-morning podcast is uploaded, id say the cheering of 9/11 will definitely get a reference.

    I loved it, though I do think he needs to do a bit of research on how some of his gags will be received internationally. The Brett Favre joke was brilliant, but was met with silence.

    Also thought the part about the Dunleer murder case was met with an uneasy laugh by a lot of people. I thought it was fine though.

    Shout out to the massive wanker in Block F who did his best to ruin the night with his fake, over the top laughter and idiotic heckling.

    I do agree though that a lot was recycled. He has done a lot of that MeToo material before, as well as the Gold Digging Whores and Military "Heroes" bits.

    That **** was in the row in front of us just off to the right, what an absolute dickhead he was.

    Why don’t people man up and tackle these idiots? Power in numbers.

    What did Burr say about metoo, Trump and 9/11?

    You kind of had to be there! :p


    I'm probably completely wrong, but basically how "no is no" is not right because 'no' could be a coy 'noooo... don't.... stop', but when read out in court it sounds terrible.


    He did a bait-and-switch appraisal of Trump. He let people clap and holler, then slagged him off. Was brilliant.


    Mentioned 9/11 and then started laughing his a$$ off when the whole crowd started cheering.

    Last night was being recorded so some of it might make it on to a special or bonus footage on a DVD at least.

    Was that not just a live camera to project him on to the screens?



    I only noticed that one guy who didn't move at the front of the stage. Even when Bill noticed it he went "oh f*ck, there's a camera!"

    Yeah, you could be right there and if it was being recorded guess he wouldn't be saying he was surprised by the guy being there :p

    Hope the Albert Hall gig is at least recorded.

    It's not half as good as the black and white one - I'm sorry you feel that way.

    No. I had to sell a ticket on so checked if there was still some on sale a day beforehand.

    The two blocks of seating at either end of the upper tier were empty and blocked off.

    All other blocks looked very full but there still tickets on sale yesterday.

    When we were collecting tickets at the box office three or four people in front of us were getting bumped up to better seats.

    Not sure if that's always the best as it looks like some of the flat seating would be a nightmare to be in as there is no center aisle and so if someone in the middle is going out, a hell of a lot of people have to stand up for them.

    Also, the flat seating should be curved a little as if you are on either edge in the first three or four rows, you'd have some sore neck the next day.

    So I'd be sure to take a good look at where you were being bumped to if ever offered flat seating in the 3.

    See Tommy must have attended last night as this tweet suggests he was backstage at some point..........


    https://twitter.com/mrmusicman22/status/1004158571804753920


    Actually, seen Tommy a few weeks back in City West and he had a bit on #metoo also which was similar in tone. His new show is quite good actually. All new material. Only one section of the material I heard before and that was the Abortion 5000 washing machine stuff.

    Yep, Bill stuck that up on his instagram after the gig tagged with:

    "The legend himself Tommy Tiernan came out to the show tonight in Dublin! Incredible night!"

    Not quite but it was probably 80-90% full. That doesn’t surprise me. He’s not quite a household name in Ireland yet.

    Struck me that there were other halves or mates who came along who weren't familiar with his stuff.



    I only know where he was going with the Trump thing partially from his podcasts... but also from this... (nsfw language!)

    Yeah, his name draws a lot of blank expressions in my circles. I was actually surprised to hear that he was playing the 3. I thought he’d be more at the ‘a few nights in Vicar Street’ level. So for him to nearly pack out the 3 was impressive. Has Dylan Moran, who is much better known, ever even played the 3?

    There was one of him, maybe him, at Chris Rock too. Block F. Guffawing like a twat.

    I hope I'm around to see him die.
