Bill Burr 5th June 3Arena

corwill

There was a guy in block M who lost his head with someone sitting behind him who he claimed was 'screaming in his ear', looked like he was getting ready to throw digs until his mates bundled him out.

Yeah saw that from Block N. He was screaming almost and Bill even commented on it slagging him. apparently he walked back in eventually, couldn't find where he was sitting and then just stood around awkwardly looking at his phone.

He made some show of himself, the couple he was shrieking at and threatening looked to be late-50's/60's.

There were more than a few about who had lorried into the drink before arriving, and it came out, as it always does at Dublin comedy gigs, in weird, witless, grunted heckles.

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

Think he might also have been at a recent screening I was at which Saoirse Ronan was giving a Q&A. Exaggerated laughter nonstop at everything she said and all to show how woke he was. As it was wrapping up he let a few hollers of 'Vote Yes'. Clown. He kept looking around for reactions to how progressive he was too. Very David Brent.

There was a guy right behind me who was completely KOed for half the gig. His mates were tanked up, the annoyingly loud people I mentioned early.

Tell me how

It's nice to have a drink at a show but some do push it. A lad in front of me nearly fell on the stairs he was that wobbly after it.

Things like that, the few aggressive ones and the constant moving of people to bar and to loo doesn't say a lot for us in terms of how we handle drink.

But at €6.50/glass, it must be massive source of revenue for the venue so I doubt it'll change.

Closing the bars during show is one option but then people try to stack up drinks and it also becomes a crush at the bar.

Outlaw Pete

Some artists insist on the bar being closed.

Was at Whitney in the 3 and the bar was closed once she came on stage.

At the Tommy Tiernan gig in City West it was the same.

Reati

Great gig. Very funny stuff for most part. Dunleer joke was silly, dropped hard and you could see it by his changing tack midway. I get this though. It's a cultural different place here where everyone knows everyone.

Saw security escort someone out of block G I think at one point. Not sure why. His mates grabbed his stuff and bundled out after him.

2 couples on my room left after the metoo bit unimpressed.

Confused what these people expected.

we'llallhavetea

ok so gonna have to say i didnt piss myself the whole way through like i normally would for bill burr, and yes, the me too bit just fell flat on its hole for me. maybe its just over done but it didnt really shock me into laughter. the amount of people moving around was ridiculous and annoying, then after getting to the 3rd pint, i crossed over to the dark side, it was either go to the toilet or piss myself, apologies!! would definitely go to see him again, absolutely love when he mimiks the wife "i just dont know where this is coming from" :D:D and the bit about trying to mask the rage in front of the kid was hilarious! does everyone think he was abused as a kid though?! we kinda presume he was and tbh, i think it made me so sad for a bit of it!!

Any time he imitates his wife is comedy gold.

I wonder about the abuse thing too. But then he masks that he appears to have had a very comfortable upper middle-class upbringing so who knows what’s true? Not that you can’t have been abused if you grew up in financially-comfortable environment. I don’t know what to make of his talk of his childhood, tbh.

I thought he more or less admitted he was abused the other night

After all he was dressed like a bishops French maid

I keep refreshing to see if the new podcast has been uploaded

Tell me how

I'd say it could be weighted towards his wife going to the show in London for the first time in... 3 years was it?

She'll probably be on it with him.

gilmour

He wasn't sexually abused if thats what anyone is thinking about, but by all of his account he was definitely raised in a classic old school tough loving family that i think many of us can relate to.

He mentioned that one of the primary reasons for doing F is for Family was to directly get his message across to millennials about "how it used to be growing up" because they were struggling to relate to what he was talking about it onstage, so by animating it, it would make it acceptable to get away with writing it and also for the younger viewers to laugh at.

The doll at christmas story is one he has told before, and as you can see it left a hell of a mark on him.

Mentions the 9-11 bit / Irish hecklers. :pac:



I'm only 15 minutes in to it.

Outlaw Pete

His parents flew over for the Albert Hall gig.

Would like to be sitting behind them and seeing their reaction to the doll / glass of milk bits :P

40 mins into the latest podcast (after he reads the ads) there's a clip of an old podcast where he is talking about the Vicar St gig only this time it also includes some audio of the gig:

The warm-up comedian was hit-and-miss - the ban garda bit was very tired and implausible - but the Thunderbirds line was hilarious.

In the main show, loved the ’Trump is doing a great job... psyche!’ bit. I smirked, so I did. :pac:
