It’s been a pretty big week for Bill Burr.
He’s ending it with the release of his new stand-up special, “Drop Dead Years,” which streamer Hulu describes as his most personal and introspective one yet. “Drop Dead Years” is Burr’s first hour-long special in three years, and in it, he tackles everything from “male sadness to dating advice” with his signature filterless wit.
One might think, what’s bigger than one of the biggest comics in the world dropping a new stand up special?, and you’d be right to think that, but Burr actually did start this week with another major milestone.
On Monday, March 10, he made his Broadway debut in a buzzy revival of David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross.” Burr plays dreamer and schemer Dave Moss (the same role Ed Harris played in the film adaptation) in the tragedy about real estate salesmen in a high-stakes competition to wheel and deal undesirable land to unknowing clients. The winner gets a car; the loser gets fired.
Of course, you can watch Burr on your TV screen, but you can also see him IRL in something other than a stand up tour right now — and it’s a revival you won’t want to miss.
