Bo Burnham

YouTube phenomenon & breakthrough Comedy Central comedian BO BURNHAM performs at the State Theatre in Falls Church, VA on Sat., Oct. 3 at 7:30 PM. Three years ago, BO BURNHAM was just another high schooler recording YouTube videos for fun. Since then, BURNHAM has burst onto the comedy scene with a full-length LP, starred in his own Comedy Central special and penned a deal to write a film for super-hot filmmaker Judd Apatow. Earlier this year, BURNHAM released his first full-length LP, Bo Burnham, which topped Billboard’s New Artist chart and rose to #2 on Billboard’s Comedy chart in its first week. Four days after his eighteenth birthday, Burnham became the youngest person to record a “Comedy Central Presents” special. The episode premiered on March 27. During the fall of his junior year of high school, BURNHAM started teaching himself to play the piano and the guitar. Soon after, he wrote and composed autobiographical songs, such as “My Whole Family Thinks I’m Gay,” as non-fictional jokes between him and his friends. In 2006, BURNHAM recorded two of his songs as videos and posted them to YouTube. Three years and fifteen videos later, Burnham’s videos have been seen over 50 million times worldwide. In 2008, he signed a four-record deal with Comedy Central Records. His first digital-only EP release, “Bo Fo Show” hit #1 on the iTunes Comedy Album chart and #6 overall, alongside the likes of Coldplay. Fans can currently catch BURNHAM on the silver screen in Apatow’s Funny People starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogan. He also appears in Rob Scheider’s American Virgin due out later this year. Mon.-Sat. Noon – 6:00 PM. This show is for mature audiences only: Ages 18 or older. Bo Burnham: www.boburnham.com www.myspace.com/boburnham www.youtube.com/user/boburnham
