Agreed. Love Bill Burr. Always have. I'd make the case that Louis C.K. (the GOAT IMO) is pro-level at losing an audience and getting them back. His "Oh My God" special is a masterclass in this. See too his SNL openings. He crushes it.
great Bill Burr quote: “I thought I became a comedian because I loved comedy and I liked making people laugh,” Burr says. “But I became a comedian because by the time I was 23, I was so walled-off and fucked-up that doing stand-up was the easiest way to go into a room full of strangers and make them like me so that no one would hurt me. I was onstage with the mindset of a 6-year-old from 23 to about 37.”
