Bill Burr

Bill Burr strikes me as one of the most honest voices in comedy. Coming up the hard way through stand-up after Emerson College, he built a confrontational observational style that goes straight at social issues, politics and human absurdity without flinching. What I love is the warmth hiding under the anger; the rage is real but so is the decency, and that tension is what makes him stick. Watching him channel that stage-trained instinct into acting, podcasting, writing and directing is a masterclass in versatility. I'll always prefer a comic who makes you laugh with the truth over one who flatters you, and Burr does exactly that.
