Who is Bo Burnham
Robert Pickering Burnham was born on August 21, 1990, in Hamilton, Massachusetts to hospice nurse Patricia and construction firm owner Scott Burnham.
As a result of his mother’s employment as the school’s nurse at the time, Burnham, who was reared a Catholic, was able to attend St. John’s Preparatory School in Danvers, Massachusetts, for free. He was accepted to the New York University Tisch School of the Arts to study experimental theatre, but he postponed his entrance for a year to focus on his comedic career, and he ultimately never went.
Burnham is renowned for being a private individual and hardly ever grants interviews unless he has to advertise a project. He has been dating the director Lorene Scafaria since 2013 and both of them reside in Los Angeles.
Career
Burnham started his YouTube career in 2006, and as of January 2023, his videos had received over 712 million views.
Burnham first rose to prominence in the late 2000s as one of the first YouTube stars, and he continued to do so into the early 2010s with his scathing and subversive stand-up and musical comedy.
Eighth Grade, which Burnham wrote and directed and which was made and released by A24, had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2018. It has garnered numerous awards, including the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing – First Feature Film and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay. The movie has gained widespread acclaim.
Without a crew or audience during the COVID-19 pandemic, Burnham wrote, directed, and starred in his fourth special, Inside (2021), which was released by Netflix to resounding acclaim.
