This was my first Bill Burr show in almost 5 years. Last time I saw him was in the Wilbur Theater in Boston,MA. This time he filled the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland,ME. Bill's career appears to be going well.
His opener was Paul Virzi. Paul got the crowd warmed up for 10-15 minutes. Bill came out to tons of applause and a standing ovation. He had a bit of difficulty connecting with the crowd on his opening Caitlyn Jenner routine. A few times during the night the crowd seemed to "pull back" a little when Bill did race-related or sexism-related material. But Bill is a professional,and he had no problem adjusting himself.
Topics included were overpopulation,McDonald's,the 2016 election,the illuminati and air travel. Bill called attention to one man in the audience who appeared to be filming him. Security tended to the issue quickly.
After over an hour,Bill left the stage to more applause and another standing ovation. A great time. Below my ticket stub are a couple photos I took before and after the show.
