Author Review: Bo Burnham

Before I start this blog there is three things that I need to mention. One Bo Burnham is technically a comedian but he has written a book so I can consider him an author. Second this blog will mainly be focusing on his comedian writing style and not his actual book. And three Bo Burnham is a VERY VULGAR comedian, so there may be some colorful language in this post. Now with that all of the way let’s move onto the blog.

Oh Bo Burnham, you are such a great and amazing comedian. Your writing style is perfect, your technique is perfect, and it’s just great. If you don’t know anything about Bo Burnham I will give a brief description but I would recommend actually looking him up. So Bo Burnham is a 25 year old musician comedian, which basically means he uses music to tell his jokes. And there are so well crafted.

Bo uses some of his life experiences to give off great and amazing performances. He does a perfect mix of his “music comedy” and his normal stand-up comedy. He creates these different personas of himself, and will be constantly changing his voice while he talks or when he sings to change the emotion of what he is singing. He also is able to take very deep topics and make them completely funny.

The other thing I enjoy about his music/ writing is that you are able to listen to it while you are doing other things. (I am even listening to one of his specials while I am writing this). But like I said in the beginning Bo Burnham is an extremely vulgar comedian. A lot of his songs include vulgar language, even some of my favorites do in their own titles. Some of these titles are (Beating off in A Minor, Eff, Theoretical Dick Jokes, and my personal favorite I F—K Sl—ts).

The final thing I like about Bo is that he is able to make fun of himself while he is on stage. There are songs that he has created just to make fun of himself. He understands that being a comedian is one of the stupidest jobs ever created.

So there is my review on Bo Burnham, before I go I do want to remind you if you do want to go look him up do be careful because he is an extremely vulgar comedian.
