“I try and write satire that's well-intentioned. But those intentions have to be hidden. It can't be completely clear, and that's what makes it comedy.”

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.
