“For me, comedy is constantly presented as this fake casualness, like a guy just walked on stage going, 'This crazy thing happened to me the other day.' And he's in front of 3000 people, and he's acting like an everyman, and he's getting paid so much money.”

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.
