“If I had posted my first video a week later, I don't know if it would have spread like it did. That's why, with everything I do, I try to enjoy the making of it instead of worrying about the release and reception.”

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.
