Glengarry Glen Ross is now in previews on Broadway, and Bill Burr is pleasantly surprised about how well things are going. "Previews are weird. They're like 'Oh, it's just previews.' And I'm thinking like, 'Well, people paid to see it, so it's gotta be good, right?'" the comedian shared during a recent visit to The Tonight Show.
"But I'm finding the crowds are really nice," he added, noting that, due to his stand-up background, he is often afraid of unruly audiences. "It took a couple of nights and I'm like, 'Oh, wow. They're just listening. This is amazing!'"
Despite his positive experience so far, Burr did recall one performance with a loud member of the audience who yelled at the performers during the show, taking him out of the scene. "But those things all become blessings when they happen because you learn how to handle them. If you mess up a line, your scene partner helps you out and everything." Watch the full interview here!
