William Frederic Burr, born on June 10, 1968, in Canton, Massachusetts, began his career in stand-up comedy at the age of 23 on March 2, 1992. After attending North Carolina State University, he graduated from Emerson College in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. Prior to his comedy career, Burr worked in warehouses. He moved to New York City in 1994, steadily building his presence in the comedy circuit. His early appearances included “Showtime at the Apollo” (2000), “Comedy Central Presents” (2003), “Just for Laughs” (2004), “One Night Stand” (2005), and “Live at Gotham” (2006).
Burr gained wider recognition for his regular appearances on Dave Chappelle’s “Chappelle’s Show” in 2004. A significant moment in his career occurred in 2006 during Opie and Anthony’s Traveling Virus Comedy Tour, where his impromptu, expletive-laden rant against a booing Philadelphia audience became a viral sensation and a turning point in his public persona. In May 2007, he launched “Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast,” which became a platform for his candid discussions on current events, sports, and personal experiences, often featuring his wife, Nia Hill, and other comedians. His stand-up specials include “Why Do I Do This?” (2008), “Let it Go” (2010), “You People Are All the Same” (2012), “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” (2014), “Walk Your Way Out” (2017), and “Paper Tiger” (2019).
Beyond stand-up, Burr has expanded his acting career, notably portraying Patrick Kuby in AMC’s “Breaking Bad” (2011–2013) and Migs Mayfeld in Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” (2019–present). He also created, co-wrote, and voiced the lead character Frank Murphy in the Netflix animated sitcom “F Is for Family” (2015–2021). In 2012, he co-founded All Things Comedy, an artist-owned cooperative for podcasts and comedy specials. Burr made his feature-length directorial debut with the comedy film “Old Dads” (2023) and his Broadway debut in the 2025 revival of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” receiving positive critical acclaim for his performance. He achieved a significant milestone in 2022 by becoming the first comedian to perform at Fenway Park, in front of a sold-out crowd of approximately 35,000 people.
