Upcoming Bill Burr dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Who Bill Burr is and what a ticket gets you
Bill Burr is a stand-up comedian from Canton, Massachusetts, known for loud, combative, self-implicating rants about relationships, money, sports and the culture at large. A ticket gets you a headlining stand-up set, usually after one or more opening comics, in rooms that range from theaters to arenas and, twice, to football and baseball stadiums. The show is one person and a microphone, so the seats that matter are the ones where you can hear him cleanly and see his face, on stage or on the screens.
Burr first performed stand-up on March 2, 1992, and spent years working clubs before his specials broke through. You People Are All the Same (2012) was Netflix's first exclusive comedy special, and he followed it with I'm Sorry You Feel That Way (2014), Walk Your Way Out (2017), Paper Tiger (2019) and Live at Red Rocks (2022). His most recent hour, Drop Dead Years, came out on Hulu in 2025. He won Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at Just for Laughs in 2014 and has been nominated for the Grammy for Best Comedy Album in 2021 and 2026.
The comedian behind the podcast and the screen roles
Many fans arrive through something other than the specials. Burr has hosted the Monday Morning Podcast (a weekly hour of him talking alone, plus listener questions) since May 2007, and its audience is a big part of why his tours sell in smaller markets as well as major cities.
His screen work widens the crowd further:
- Breaking Bad: he played Patrick Kuby from 2011 to 2013.
- F Is for Family: he created and co-wrote the Netflix animated series (2015 to 2021) and voiced Frank Murphy.
- The Mandalorian: he plays Migs Mayfeld.
- Old Dads: he co-wrote, directed and starred in the 2023 Netflix film.
Expect the stand-up itself to sound like the specials, not the acting roles: profane, argumentative and built on long, escalating bits rather than quick one-liners.
Landmark Bill Burr shows, from the Garden to Gillette
Burr's live career is easiest to read through a handful of large, documented dates. Current dates appear in the live event list on this page.
- Madison Square Garden, November 2015: a sold-out arena show in New York, repeated with another sold-out Garden date in November 2023.
- Red Rocks Amphitheatre, September 2021: a sold-out outdoor show outside Denver that became the Netflix special Live at Red Rocks.
- Fenway Park, August 21, 2022: a hometown stadium show for roughly 35,000 people, reported as the first comedy show at the ballpark.
- Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens, 2023: an open-air show in the ancient Roman theater below the Acropolis.
- Gillette Stadium, 2024: a show near Boston that drew more than 60,000 people, his largest documented audience.
The pattern is a comedian who tours theaters and arenas as a rule and saves the stadium-scale events for the Boston area, where his following is deepest.
Where to sit for Bill Burr stand-up
Comedy rewards different seats than a concert does. There is no light show to take in from a distance and no dance floor; the jokes land through the voice and the face. Check each event's seating map for the stage position before buying.
Theaters
- Orchestra center: the best seat in the house. You see his expressions without needing a screen, and the sound is direct.
- Front mezzanine: often as good as the rear orchestra, with a clearer sightline over heads.
- Extreme side seats and rear balcony: the weakest choices, since a stand-up set has almost no movement to watch.
Arenas
- Floor seats near the stage: the only arena seats that feel like a comedy club. Further back on a flat floor, you are watching the screens anyway.
- Lower bowl facing the stage: usually the better buy than the rear floor. The raised angle and direct sound often beat a floor seat 40 rows back.
- Sections beside or behind the stage: avoid them when they are sold. Laughter depends on catching the delivery, and a side view of a comic is a poor substitute.
Stadiums
At stadium shows like Fenway Park or Gillette Stadium, nearly everyone watches the screens. Prioritize seats facing the stage and close to a speaker tower over raw proximity, and accept that the experience is about the event as much as the jokes.
How demand for Bill Burr tickets behaves
Burr's audience is large, loyal and built over years of podcasting, so his dates tend to draw strong early demand. A few structural patterns help:
- Presales take the best seats. Fan-list, venue and card-member presales usually open before the general on-sale, and the front orchestra and floor go there first.
- Boston-area shows run hottest. His largest documented events have all been hometown dates, and demand there reflects it.
- Added shows follow sellouts. When a first date sells quickly, a second show in the same city is common for touring comics, and that second show is often the easier ticket.
- Weekend nights sell first. Friday and Saturday shows usually move before midweek dates in the same market.
Many touring comedians run phone-free shows that lock devices in pouches during the set; check the event details and the venue's current policy before you go. Resale prices can sit above or below face value and tend to move as the date approaches. Every GoodSeats order is backed by a 100% guarantee. For announcements, see Bill Burr's official site.
