Bill Burr defends his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, calling it "one of the top three experiences I’ve had" and "mind blowing":
"It was great to experience that part of the world and to be a part of the first comedy festival over there in Saudi Arabia. The royals loved the show. Everyone was happy. The people that were doing the festival were thrilled."
"I had to stop a couple times during the show and say, 'I’ll be honest with you guys, I cannot f*cking believe any of you have any idea who I am.' It was just this great exchange of energy. They know their reputation. So they were extra friendly."
