Bill Burr's Comedy Special 'Drop Dead Years' Premieres March 14 on Hulu

Comedian Bill Burr has stirred controversy recently, particularly with right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro, who labeled him as 'woke' following Burr's critiques of the wealthy elite. Burr, known for his unfiltered style, dismissed Shapiro's comments as merely clickbait, asserting that he remains a voice for the working class. His upcoming comedy special, 'Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years,' set to premiere on March 14 on Hulu, promises to tackle themes like male sadness and dating advice with humor. Despite his history of provocative humor, Burr's recent comments have led some conservatives to label him as one of the 'wokest' comedians, highlighting a shift in his public persona. The special is the fifth installment in Hulu's stand-up series, Hularious, and is anticipated to be a deeply personal exploration of contemporary issues. Burr’s evolution as a comedian reflects broader societal changes, positioning him as a unique figure within the comedy landscape.
