Bo Burnham
Bo Burnham (Robert Pickering Burnham) was born on August 21st, 1990 and is currently 34 years old. Bo Burnham was born in Hamilton, Massachusetts, USA.
Bo Burnham is a stand up comedian, actor, musician, director, and YouTuber. His work combines elements of filmmaking with sketch, music, and stand up comedy, commonly with a satirical, dramatic, or tragic twist that often gets left open to interpretation.
He created a YouTube channel back in 2006, where he’d upload videos of him playing some comedic songs that he wrote, typically featuring taboo or dark subject matter and wordplay. These videos soon went viral, making him one of the earliest stars on YouTube. He started creating albums featuring his songs, like Bo Burnham and Bo fo Sho.
He created the channel because he had 2 songs he wanted to show his older brother that had moved out to attend university in New York City. A friend suggested that he film himself performing these songs in his bedroom and post them on YouTube, which was still new at the time. “My Whole Family” soon got popular once the link to the YouTube video got shared on Break.com, quickly leading it to get shared other places.
He wrote and released songs about Helen Keller’s disabilities, white supremacy, homosexuality, and more. He tackled topics like race, class, human sexuality, gender, religion, and sex.
All of his early videos were recorded in and around his family’s home, primarily in his bedroom, and had this intentional DIY feel, almost like voyeurism.
Egghead: Or, You Can’t Survive on Ideas Alone is a charming and strange collection of hilariously absurd writing, poetry, and illustration from one of the most popular young comedians of today.
Bo was a precocious teen that lived in his parents’ attic when he began posting material on YouTube. 100 million people viewed these videos, which turned him into an online sensation with a dedicated and huge following. Bo taped his first of 2 Comedy Central specials just 4 days after his 18th birthday, making him the youngest to do so in the history of the channel. Now he’s a rising star in the comedy world, revered for his utterly intelligent and original voice. And he can really sing.
In this book, he brings his brand of emotional and brainy comedy to the page in the form of off-kilter poems, thoughts, and more. Teaming up with Chance Bone (Bo’s longtime friend and an illustrator and artist), he takes on everything from farts to death in a weird book that’ll make you laugh, think, and go why’d I just laugh?
