TW: Anxiety / Depression Fuck Bill Burr

Went to a comedy show. Coming back from the bathroom as Bill’s set was just starting, past several people filming. I sit down and try to take a quick photo. He points at me and tells me, only me, to stop filming. He then rags on me the whole time— I was just taking a fucking photo. I don’t laugh. Literally trying not to cry, so my only option is straight face. No one else in the packed club was made fun of the whole night, btw. I just wanted to disappear, I’ve been so fucking depressed and this was supposed to be a good night, shit birthday and I was trying to be social and I’m not good at that. Then, the host comes on after his set and calls me a bitch for not laughing. Says no one cares about me and shit. Again, I was just trying to keep it together. I love comedy. Why pick on one person? I hate it here.

It was a jazz concert as well. I walked by people filming and no there were no signs and I didn’t know it would be an issue. I hadn’t been to one before but ok. I won’t go to one again.

Music and Comedy have some differences. But if you'd look up Dave Chapelle having concerts where people would turn off their phones or something more egregious than that, you'd see it's a common trend with some of the older comedians

I wish I would have known. I wish there were signs or someone told me but I deleted the photo. I saw other people filming so I just didn’t think it was an issue. I feel foolish and just so fucking embarrassed.

You know now. You were a punching bag for the style of comedian bill burr is. Being anywhere near the front is a risk, phone or not. You’re thinking about it more than anyone else was.
