With the success of his 2022 Netflix special, “Live at Red Rocks,” and a standup resume that includes sold out performances from coast to coast, not to mention hosting Monday Morning Podcast, a leading download in comedy podcasts, Bill Burr is one of the top comedic voices of his generation.

In addition to stand-up, Burr’s also a celebrated actor, with credits that include everything from Disney’s “The Mandalorian,” and “Breaking Bad,” to feature film and his acclaimed animated Netflix series, “F is For Family.” His forthcoming passion project, “Old Dads,” in which he takes on the leading role, also will mark Burr’s directorial debut.

In the meantime, fans will be able to find Burr returning to his stand-up roots when he brings an all-new comedy set to PPL Center in Allentown on Thursday, July 6.

Burr, who is never at a loss for words, had a lot to say when it comes to comedy, cancel culture and Pennsylvania roads. I asked him about them all and more in this exclusive new interview.

Q. How would you describe your style? Is there a way you can put into words what your comedy is all about?

Bill Burr: I like to describe it as me being like the loud guy you see in the bar. The one who sort of makes sense for like a minute and then you realize I’m just a jerk and am totally harmless (laughs).
