“At the time of 'Words, Words, Words,' I'm a 19-year-old getting up feeling like he's entitled to do comedy and tell you what he thinks of the world, so that's inherently a little bit ridiculous.”

American comedian, actor, musician, and filmmaker

Bo Burnham is an American comedian, actor, musician, and filmmaker. His work blends filmmaking with music, sketch comedy, and stand-up, and it often carries a dramatic, satirical, or tragic edge. He is known for combining those forms in ways that leave room for interpretation, rather than settling on a single tone or meaning. That mix has made his work distinct across comedy, performance, and film.
