Comedian Bill Burr really wants to do a gig in Eureka

In the latest episode of Humboldt Last Week
Comedian Bill Burr recently put out a video featuring himself at one point saying he’s been trying to do a gig in Eureka “forever.”
That prompted some locals to post “how do we make this happen” in an online community.
Suffice to say, emails were sent to local promoters of note.
I’m crossing my fingers because that dude is hilarious. In addition to his comedy and podcasts, you may have seen Bill Burr in Breaking Bad, the Mandolorian, or even Judd Apatow and Pete Davidson’s new movie which was pretty good: “The King of Staten Island.”
Bill Burr, come to Humboldt! And please do my show.
Also in Episode 174
A mom accused of killing her son is going to trial with more severe charges, murals, race cars, adventuring, historic local beer, crime news, a petition is going around to change the name of McKinleyville and more.

??Good informative show Myles, thank you. ?
Bill Burr, please make it happen! You are the funniest man alive.
Agree he is the BEST!
Hell yeah! Please, absolutely destroy our city like you did to Philadelphia!
That Philly show was legendary! That was the moment Bill dropped the mic and climbed to the top.
Bill is hilarious! Much of his comedy comes from just looking at a situation honestly and saying it out loud. Those of us who appreciate sarcastic wit and irony will love it. But most of the sensitive snowflake people of Humboldt will recoil and hate on this man. And that makes it even funnier!..”No Reason To Hit A Woman”….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIOY2ezMy9A
I guess comedy is in the eye of the beholder. Exuberant, yes. Boundary pushing, yes. Funny….eh….
Agree! Best comedian ever!
Did you guys forget that he’s a comedian? He was probably joking. He seems like a Republican, just sayin;)
And…there you go! Making everything about politics. And guessing if somebody is with “us” or “them”. That is what is destroying our country and breaking down our community. I know the “moral majority” started this crap but it really is a social cancer so why feed it?
Right on Farce!
Thanks to every single person brave enough to point out absurdity and refusing to feed it.
Y’all take things too serious.
He doesn’t want to come to Eureka, that joke went right over your heads.
Jesus….he has conservative views on working hard for what you want. He is very apathetic and stands up for progressive social issues on race and gay rights, although he still makes fun of things. He is married to a democratic black women, but his brother has ran for office in Mass as a republican. You can be a moderate or have different views on different subjects. It is OK to do.
His wife shows up on his podcasts and they make fun of each other and their views.
Not that it matters, but he heavily leans Democratic. He also readily admits that he doesn’t follow politics closely enough to make informed opinions on them. He also thinks the president is a twit.
But again, none of that matters because he’s a comedian. If he was running for mayor, I’d want to know these things.
Bill Burr is an American treasure! I hope he offends all of you over sensitive people all the way to your core! Lets face it ladies, Its a man thing you wouldnt understand.. Pretty sure most of you have a protest to attend or a statue to hate on??Or some other facet of history you just do get! Its a history thing you just wont get it!
He seems distinctly not funny.
Oh god you really live in a bubble huh?
This. I just spent a half hour on you-tube to check him out. Not offended or anything, but there wasn’t really anything I found really funny. Also, not a fan of the enraged bro shtick. More of a Anthony Jeselnik fan myself.
Though if he were to come to Humboldt, I hope the crowd enjoys him.
Love Bill Burr, I’d be there in a heart beat if he came here.
Laugh riot! “I am so pro-swine flu — I want it. We need a plague. It’s got to happen; don’t be afraid. It’s only going to kill the weak.” Bill Burr
Dear Humorless Liberals: Bill Burr would make you laugh the sticks back out of your asses. How could that be bad?
He is liberal. Not a “far left” sjw but quite liberal.
Oh geeze, I can already hear the self important screams of Humboldt county’s perpetually angry [edit] feminists and sjws.
I personally think Bill Burr is funny, and maybe if he does a show in Humboldt other known comedians will. If he’s not welcomed because of possible offensiveness, then the USAs in more trouble than I thought.
I’d buy a ticket
I’m sure he’s played other shit towns, add Eureka to the list!
