Finding a substantial following on social media with raunchy comedic songs full of love, teen lust, and ironic political incorrectness when he was just 16, Bo Burnham quickly parlayed his Internet celebrity to sold-out music comedy shows and the top of the Billboard Comedy Albums chart. Acting opportunities in film and TV soon materialized, though he continued to work on his own material, including the 2010 special Words Words Words and 2013's what., which reflected increasing attention to choreography, lighting effects, and use of pre-recorded audio. Following 2016's Make Happy, Burnham's worsening on-stage panic attacks led to his screenwriting and directorial debut, 2018's Eighth Grade. His 2021 comedy special Inside was written, performed, and shot entirely alone at home during a year of pandemic sheltering. The companion album Inside (The Songs) debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 and was followed by a companion EP, 2022's The Inside Outtakes. Wikipedia
