Bill Burr on the Moth

The Moth is a live story-telling series which provides one of the podcasts on my long list, which are the podcasts that I download but sometimes don’t get around to hearing. The most touching moments are those which are both gripping and open, with the story-teller allowing the audience in and the audience displaying its support in laughter and applause. It’s a very different performer-audience relationship from the more antagonistic one found in most stand-up comedy, which is one reason why I enjoy hearing stand-up comedians such as Bill Burr open themselves up to a different style of emotional exposure.
