Bo Burnham: American Comedian, Musician, and Filmmaker

Bo Burnham was born on August 21, 1990, in Hamilton, Massachusetts, to Scott and Patricia Burnham. The youngest of three children, his older siblings Pete and Sam attended Cornell University and Suffolk University Law School, respectively. Burnham graduated from St. John's Preparatory School in 2008 and enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. However, he deferred his admission for a year to focus on his burgeoning career.

YouTube Beginnings and Comedy Central Deal

Burnham's career began in 2006 when he posted homemade videos of his songs "My Whole Family..." and "My 'little' secret..." on YouTube to share with his family. The videos gained traction after being featured on Break.com. Burnham continued to post comedic videos, often exploring themes such as white privilege, disability, and religion.

In January 2008, Burnham made his comedy debut on Comedy Central's The World Stands Up in London. He subsequently signed a four-year deal with Comedy Central Records, releasing his debut EP, "Bo Fo Sho," in 2008. His first studio album, "Bo Burnham," followed in 2009.

Burnham has released three studio albums: "Words, Words, Words" (2010), "what." (2013), and "Inside" (2021). He has also performed several comedy specials, including "Make Happy" (2016) and "Inside" (2021), which earned him multiple Emmy and Grammy awards.

In 2018, Burnham wrote and directed his debut feature film, "Eighth Grade." The film received critical acclaim and won the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing - First-Time Feature Film.
