Bo Burnham is Funny

Bo Burnham is one of those rare comedians where every layer of what he does is a joke; the writing, the timing, the meta-commentary, and even the discomfort. He’s funny in ways most comedians aren’t even trying to be.

He’s also interesting. He plays a character… which is also himself… whish is also a parody of himself.

He’s always juggling between the persona, the real guy, the critique of the persona, and the critique of the critique.

His comedy is very layered. It can be a mix of very funny but then also thought-provoking. He mixes high IQ and low IQ humor effortlessly, which makes his performance a rollercoaster — never quite sure what to expect.

Bo Burnham is very original and his musical comedy encompasses all of these elements. I highly recommend watching Inside or Make Happy (both on Netflix) or any of his OG stuff on his YouTube channel.

His musical jokes are too tough to transfer into visuals, but these snappy one-liners work just fine.
