Bo has earned wealth also by video sharing on YouTube – his two videos (My Whole Family and My Little Secret) have become quite popular on this video website. With the videos, he became an overnight sensation. However, other comedians have said that Bo’s YouTube popularity was actually illegitimate.
His first full album was released by ‘Comedy Central Records’ on March 10th 2009. Burnham performed for Comedy Central “The World Stands Up”. He also gave music in “Cobb’s Comedy Club”, “YouTube Live”, in San Francisco, and at Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York City. He was nominated for best comedy show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Bo won the Panel Prize and The Malcolm Hardee “Act Most Likely to Make a Million Quid” Award. Bo Burnham has gone on tours regularly since 2009 – one tour every year. These tours have been largely successful.
Bo Burnham was the youngest child of staff nurse Patricia and Scott Burnham who used to own a construction company. When he was three years old, he used to perform skits in his home. He grew up listening to comedians like George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In the school, Bo took interest in theatres and the campus ministry program. He did his graduation from Saint John’s in 2008 and got admission to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. He has a girlfriend for over 5 years.
