Reverend Billy C. Wirtz (born 1954, Aiken, South Carolina, United States) is an American blues musician, comedian and writer. His material consists of irreverent comedy routines set to music. His humor is somewhat raunchy and thus is not normally considered suitable for children. His material often mocks conservative politics and religion, described by essayist Hal Crowther as the "Bertolt Brecht of the Bible Belt".

Famous quotes containing the words reverend and/or billy:
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
“Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
And he sang as he watched and waited while his billy boiled:
‘Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?’”
—Andrew Barton Peterson (1864–1941)
