Bo Burnham: Make Happy
Comedy60 min
Bo Burnham takes the stage for a meticulously choreographed comedy set that mixes self-deprecating jokes with original songs, precision-timed lighting, and pre-recorded sound cues. Burnham moves from piano numbers to sharp misdirection as he riffs on life, death, sexuality, hypocrisy, mental illness, and even Pringles cans, all while turning the mechanics of performance into part of the act. Written and performed by Burnham, the special keeps shifting between confessional humor, satire, and theatrical control rather than settling into a straightforward stand-up routine.
