Bill Burr - a standup comic with a pretty hilarious take on religion.



His 2014 special is available on Netflix.

Slate named it the 3rd best stand up special this year.

3. Bill Burr, I’m Sorry You Feel That Way

About 17 minutes into his Netflix special, right before defending the Duck Dynasty patriarch who said all that homophobic stuff last December, Burr goes, “I’m not saying these people are right, and I’m not saying I’m right. I know I’m a fucking moron.” There it is, the key to what makes Burr one of the most respected stand-ups working. Burr takes potentially controversial stances on subjects for comedic effect—this is not unique—however, he’s better than anyone at this, because he makes sure he’s the ultimate butt of the joke. He doesn’t care about being right, because being right isn’t funny. And Burr is funny.


He's an atheist with attitude, but he is a fucking moron… a very funny moron.

Check it out if your can.

that obviously made the audience uncomfortable--but it was still funny.
