Early Life

Born on June 10, 1968, in Canton, Massachusetts, Bill Burr was named William Frederick Burr. He is the offspring of a dentist and a nurse and showed a passion for show business early in life, ultimately earning a radio degree from Boston’s Emerson College in 1993. Prior to fully launching his comedy career, Burr worked in several warehouse jobs, reminiscing about the liberation those roles provided him, illustrated by a routine where he said: “If my boss gave me a rough time, I could just get on a forklift and just, like, drive away.”

Comedy Career

Renowned for his satirical and observational comedy, Bill Burr has graced numerous late-night talk shows and has starred in various comedy specials on HBO and Comedy Central. He has also released several albums and initiated his weekly podcast, “Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast,” in 2007. Additionally, Burr has guest appeared on podcasts hosted by fellow comedians including “The Adam Carolla Show,” “The Joe Rogan Experience,” “WTF with Marc Maron,” Chris Hardwick’s “Nerdist,” and “Nobody Likes Onions.” In 2019, he launched another podcast called “Bill Bert Podcast,” which he co-hosts with fellow comic Bert Kreischer. Influenced by comedic legends such as George Carlin, Mort Sahl, Bill Hicks, Bill Cosby, Sam Kinison, Patrice O’Neal, and Richard Pryor, Burr is viewed favorably in the comedy community. He has been recognized as the “comedian’s comedian” by several outlets. “Rolling Stone” labeled him “the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage-fueled humor,” while “The New York Times” described him as “a cynic and a contrarian who has never paid any heed to political correctness” and acknowledged him as “one of the funniest, most distinctive voices in the country for years.”

Having produced numerous comedy specials, Burr’s works include “Let it Go,” recorded at The Fillmore in San Francisco and released on Comedy Central in 2010; “You People Are All the Same,” which debuted on Netflix in 2012; “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way,” launched on Netflix in 2014; and “Walk Your Way Out,” which came out in 2017 on Netflix.

Acting

While Burr has mainly concentrated on stand-up and podcasting throughout his career, he has also made appearances in various films and TV shows. His journey began back in 1996 with the character Ryan Callahan on ABC’s short-lived sitcom “Townies,” which only ran for a few months. His filmography features titles like “Perfect Fit,” “Passionada,” “Twisted Fortune,” “Date Night,” “Breaking Bad,” “Stand Up Guys,” “Walk of Shame,” “The Heat,” “Black and White,” and “Zombeavers.” Additionally, he played a jogger in a 2002 episode of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” With his role in “Breaking Bad,” he garnered a new fanbase; however, in 2019, he achieved an unexpected career milestone by becoming part of the “Star Wars” universe in an episode of the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.” He also guest-starred in the final season of HBO’s “Barry.” In 2023, he took the lead in the comedy film “Old Dads,” a project he also co-wrote, directed, and produced.

Burr was part of the comedian group linked with the previous radio show “The Opie and Anthony Show,” and his voice made an appearance in the 2008 video game “Grand Theft Auto IV.”

Personal Life

Since 2013, Burr has been married to Nia Hill, who works as a producer, writer, and director. Their daughter was born in January 2017, followed by their son in June 2020. In his leisure time, Bill enjoys being a licensed helicopter pilot and playing the drums. He has shared his passion for heavy metal music and cigars, having indulged in the latter alongside Jerry Seinfeld during his episode of “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”

Real Estate

In 2017, Burr acquired a residence in Los Feliz, California, for the sum of $4.7 million. The subsequent year saw him sell a 2,663-square-foot villa in Los Feliz, which he had bought in 2011. Notably, at that time, reports suggested he still owned a modest one-bedroom apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, presumably allowing him to maintain a connection to New York for his comedy career.
