Bill Burr, an extremely passionate comedian who appreciates each routine in the moment, appears at 8 p.m. Nov. 7, Sands Bethlehem Event Center, Bethlehem.

“As much as I listen to the crowd, I really just try to have fun when I’m out there. If you see a guy on stage having a good time, it’s infectious,” Burr says in a phone interview.

Burr grew up just outside of Boston, Mass., and began working in comedy in the early 1990s.

The New York Times has stated that Burr “has been one of the funniest, most distinctive voices in the country for years.”

Burr’s first high-profile appearance was on Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show,” a sketch comedy series created by comedians Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan.

Following that Burr appeared many times on the “Late Show With David Letterman,” “Conan” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

“These are legendary shows,” Burr says. “Letterman was the [Johnny] Carson of my generation. I had my heart in my throat and thought, ‘Oh, my God, I really want to impress this person.’

“Fallon was an old friend from the comedy clubs. Conan was a guy that from the first time I did his show I felt a connection. He has a smile on his face that he’s genuine happy I’m there.”

Burr is best-known as host of “Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast” and playing Patrick Kuby in the AMC crime-drama series “Breaking Bad.”

Burr and Al Madrigal founded “All Things Comedy,” a digital media co-operative, in October 2012.

His comedy albums include “Emotionally Unavailable” (2003), “Why Do I Do This?” (2008), “Let It Go” (2010), “You People Are All The Same” (2012),”Live At Andrew’s House” and “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” (2014), most of which are also available on Netflix.

Burr has appeared in the films “Date Night” (2010), starring Tina Fey and Steve Carrell; “Stand Up Guys” (2012), starring Al Pacino and Christopher Walken; “The Heat” (2013), starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy; “Walk Of Shame,” (2014), starring Elizabeth Banks, and “Black Or White” (2014), starring Kevin Costner.

Burr stars in “F Is For Family,” an animated sitcom based on Burr’s stand-up act, set for release in December 2015 on Netflix.

Of his routine, Burr says, ”I’m like the loud guy in a bar who makes sense for five minutes and then you figure out I probably flunked everything in high school so you just laugh at me.”

What can people expect in his show at the Sands? “A new hour of material and they will get their money’s worth. I want them to walk away thinking, ‘This is his best stuff yet.’”

Burr explains that on stage he goes up there and let’s it rip. He has an act he writes out to fall back on, one hour of material, so that he doesn’t have to worry if he runs out of things to say.

“I’m a stand-up comedian first and when I’m in the zone I get this indescribable feeling. It’s magic.”
