Event Description

New on the scene comedian and writer Burton Miller is bringing his debut show The 40 Year Old Burton to Cleveland following his Summer 2025 Tour!

Burton’s show - a comedy debut four decades in the making - is a theatrical reflection on a deeply religious small-town upbringing and the all-too-common and often absurd journey we all need to take to find the road back to ourselves.

As one attendee wrote, “In a world that feels like it’s falling apart, Burton shows up with the fresh breath of air we all needed - funny, encouraging, and surprisingly therapeutic!”

Burton recently relocated from Las Vegas to Cleveland and is thrilled to bring his show to Playhouse Square!

About Burton

Burton spent most of his career as a government social worker with multiple side quests along the way including directing a youth camp on an island and training to become a Baptist pastor. The latter did not pan out because of his unceasing homosexuality. Due to the persistent and ongoing titration of trauma resulting from years of professionally mandated daily interactions with the general public, Burton is now taking extended time off from having a “real job” and is turning to the one remaining constant in this world: comedy.

In his spare time he can be found sleeping, watching horror movies, riding roller coasters, and spending quality time with his partner Nick.
