Bill is definitely a top draw, and a master of his craft. I was afforded the the opportunity to see him at the Comedy Store in Hollywood a few months ago, with some other top notch comedians working on new material. Just a random Thursday in January. Get this, Sebastian Manascalco, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Marc Maron, Jeff Ross, and John Mulaney all did sets between 20-30 minutes. Manascalco and Mulaney were just superior in style, writing and performance. Sebastian was actually playing Wynn Hotel in Vegas that weekend (different and well established material) where tickets were selling for $200. I paid $25/ea plus I greased the doorman an additional $50 to get my wife and I in the second row of tables near the stage. The other club to visit is the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach. Twenty years ago (before kids) we would see Seinfeld, Rock, Jay Leno and Bill Maher working on new bits. They still get the unannounced star looking to work on new stuff.
