Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out (2017)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jay Karas
Cast: Bill Burr
Running time: 77 minutes



Recorded live in Nashville shortly before the last American election, the latest Bill Burr comedy special offers another serving of the comedy stylings the comedian has come to be known for. Burr discusses Trump and Clinton, fat people, racism, Hitler and Stalin, and many other topics.

It can be easy for some to get offended by Bill Burr’s material. After all, he never shies away from difficult topics. But, I don’t offend easily. Even when he shared his annoyance with certain fat people, I had to agree, though I am no small man by any means. I have always been convinced that we are the only people to blame for the damage we do to ourselves.

As for this comedy show itself, it was very good. Many moments had me laughing out loud. The jokes about Trump’s wall were hilarious. At other times, it provoked thought. There were a few weaker spots, but not many. I appreciate Bill Burr’s comedy because it dares to go in uneasy places, even if it means not having a laugh every 15 seconds. Burr also happens to share many thoughts, ideas, opinions and sensibilities with myself. Highly recommended, though it will not please everyone.
