Bo Burnham: Difference between revisions

Burnham switched his focus from YouTube to performing [[stand-up comedy]] routines, which combined his comedy songs with traditional stand-up. He released three comedy specials, ''[[Words Words Words]]'' (2010), ''[[what.]]'' (2013), and ''[[Make Happy]]'' (2016). He also worked on the music and script for a comedy film that was ultimately scrapped. Bo created and starred in the 2013 [[MTV]] [[mockumentary]] series ''[[Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous]]''. He also published the poetry book ''[[Egghead: Or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone]]'' (2013). In 2016, Burnham announced his intention to step away from performing live, which he later revealed to be due to him suffering from [[anxiety]] and experiencing [[panic attacks]] on stage. He went on to make his filmmaking debut as the writer and director of the drama film ''[[Eighth Grade (film)|Eighth Grade]]'' (2018) and began directing other comedians' comedy specials, as well as co-starring in the dark comedy thriller film ''[[Promising Young Woman]]'' (2020).
