Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (2019)

Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (2019). Was trying to find a good stand-up comedy to watch and Netflix had this as a recommendation. I think I remember previewing one or two of Bill Burr's previous shows but I don't think I found it too entertaining as I don't remember the name or anything from the show. However, I thought I'd give him a(nother) chance with this new special.

After starting and painfully completing this special, I must say that I just don't think Bill Burr is very funny. I pushed through this one thinking it would get better as I didn't have much else to do at the time of viewing. It had its moments even if they were very few and far between. It was just kind of painful to maintain my focus and interest.

I know people that think he is funny. I just haven't found him as such. Anyway...

FINAL VERDICT: For me it's a pass. If you already like him, then you'll probably like this one. Again there were moments of funny but I think they could have been combined into a twenty-minute (generously measured) highlight reel.
