Let It Go

Bill Burr treats minor inconveniences as personal insults, building routines out of the quiet indignities of existing in public. Let It Go peaks with an extended breakdown of male insecurity sparked by a sandwich shop employee simply offering him a cookie. Burr plays the role of a guy who knows he has an anger problem but cannot stop finding reasons to justify it. He is equally irritated by automated checkout machines, airport travelers swallowing fast food whole, and people who brag about rescuing their pets.

Filmed at The Fillmore in San Francisco, the set premiered on Comedy Central in 2010. Burr was already a working road comic with a podcast, but this release arrived just as he began booking larger theaters and securing television roles. Critics and fans frequently rank the performance at the top of his catalog, noting the steady momentum and lack of weak material.
