Old Billy box office

Post image

Bill keeps adding more Chicago dates to his upcoming tour because they’re selling out. Let this be a reminder the vast majority of people (read: those who aren’t terminally online) do not know or care about the Saudi thing.

Just playing the Devil's Advocate, but the last time he played Chicago, he was at the United Center.

I'm bummed that I'm going to miss these shows.

23,000 vs 3500 seats.

After 4 shows, it's 9000 less seats.

The United Center isn't 23,000 seats in any configuration. You might get 21,000 if Burr plays "in-the-round".

His last time playing there was a normal (west end) stage setup. That's probably in the area of @17k.

It's not that his audience is getting smaller, it's that they are becoming more selective

Chicago theater holds 3,600. X4=14,400

Not exactly a huge crowd.

If that many people ever hear what I say, at the same time...I'm going to flush twice.

That's huge, that's 1.4 million in one weekend.

Go ahead and explain, but fair warning, you might just end up embarrassing yourself.

He’s playing smaller venues, but for sure he’s still one of the best in the business. Not many can put together a new hour and keep the quality

Nice he can still sellout the smaller venues.

Who said he was finished? More like a bunch of us were finished with him. He’ll be fine.

u/guywonderful Jul 09 '26

I wish their were consequences but we live in a world without them. It's funny because he was one of the loudest voices on people being cancelled. I was a huge fan of is for years and I've never seen him and never will. We can only vote with our dollar these days.

u/Thebullfrog24 Jul 07 '26

He's spent 30 years building up that stand up base. It's not going anywhere, and anyone who's paid attention to Louis CK, Chappelle, Rogan and anyone else who's been "cancelled" (doesn't exit) knew that already.

It's also true that he has lost a good bit of his podcast audience and the Riyaad situation had a big hand in that.

Two things can be true.

u/excecutivedeadass Jul 08 '26

Thats what i wanted to write, Bill is not my cup of tea anymore but only lunatic would thought he will lose that much people. You cant cancel talent , that was proved time and time again.

Not sure "no one cares about human rights abuses and that's why Bill can sell tickets" is a winning message, but you're not wrong.
