You wanna hear a funny story?
So, uh, five years ago, I quit performing live comedy
Because I was beginning to have, uh, severe panic attacks while on stage
Which is not a great place to have them
So I, I quit, and I didn’t perform for five years and I spent that time
Trying to improve myself mentally
And you know what?
I did
I got better
I got so much better, in fact
That in January of 2020
I thought, “You know what? I should start performing again”
“I’ve been hiding from the world and I need to re-enter”
And then, the funniest thing happened
Are you feeling nervous?
Are you having fun?
It’s almost over
It’s just begun
Don’t overthink this
Look in my eye
Don’t be scared, don’t be shy
Come on in, the water’s fine
You say the ocean’s rising like I give a shit
You say the whole world’s ending, honey, it already did
You’re not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried
Got it? Good, now get inside
We’re goin’ to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
We’re goin’ to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows
Come on, get your fuckin’ hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Hey, come on, get your fuckin’ hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said get your fuckin’ hands up
Get up, get up
I’m talkin’ to you, get the fuck up
Get your fuckin’ hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Ay, fuckin’ get your fuckin’ hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Come on, heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said get your fuckin’ hands up
Get on…

About Bo Burnhum
Bob Pickering ‘Bo’ Burnham is an American comedian, singer-songwriter, musician, rapper and actor who rose to fame through YouTube. Without any serious intent to achieve fame, he created his first YouTube video in 2006 and it went viral, generating more than 150 million views overall. In 2008, Comedy Central signed him for a four-year deal to create four musical comedy EPs for them, and Bo released his very first studio album the following year. With his musical and comical endeavors, he gained more popularity very early on. Aside from music and comedy, Bo has acted in several successful films and television shows. Bo Burnham is one of those very few new generation celebrities who started small with homemade videos and made it big. Bo performs stand-ups and uploads funny satires and videos to his YouTube channel in his free time.
Career
In 2006, Bo shared two videos with his distant friends and family after being praised for his songs in school. Bo became an overnight celebrity after these videos became so popular that Break.com copied them, and the views multiplied by hundreds.
As a result of the response, Bo began putting more songs online, most of which addressed racism, homophobia, physical disabilities, and many other topics. As Bo’s fan base grew, he made videos until he landed his first big break.
With Comedy Central’s ‘The World Stands Up’ in January 2008, Bo got his first big break, and his work was so entertaining that he signed a four-album deal with them. After few months, Bo’s very first EP titled ‘Bo Fo Sho’ was available for digital download. In 2009, he released his very first full-length album titled ‘Bo Burnham’.
Bo has performed live in many cities in the United States, including San Francisco and New York City, and in London and Montreal. Bo was nominated for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2010 for his stint on Words, Words, Words. Despite missing the award, he won the Panel Prize.
Bo added two new names to his discography, ‘What.’ and ‘Make Happy’, in 2013 and 2016, respectively, and continued to tour around with his performances while also making an impact on the acting scene.
As an actor, Bo first met Judd Apatow, a popular Hollywood director and producer, in 2008. Bo became disheartened after the Universal Studio project, which was supposed to be an anti-high school musical, was scrapped. He worked really hard on the screenplay for the film.
He played a student in the 2009 show ‘Funny People’. Burnham recorded a one-hour stand-up special for Comedy Central’s ‘House of Comedy’ project in 2010, for which several other stand-ups were hired. It was released in October 2010 and received acclaim.
A second Bo special, ‘What,’ aired on Netflix and YouTube in 2013 and garnered over a million views on both platforms. ‘Make Happy’ was released in June 2016 by Netflix.
Bo has also served as an executive producer for ‘Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous’, which ran only for one season because of a lack of ratings and TRPs.
