Where are the best places to stream Bo Burnham's comedy specials? Here's a guide for all five shows that are currently available online.

Where can you watch the many Bo Burnham comedy specials? In May 2021, Bo Burnham saw a resurgence of popularity when he released his timely lockdown-themed comedy special, Bo Burnham: Inside. The special was entirely produced by Burnham and tapped into the prevalent issues of anxiety and isolation that so many people have had to face as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. As well as appealing to his previously established fanbase, Inside has also encouraged many new Netflix watchers to seek out his past work.

Bo Burnham's career started when he gained traction on YouTube with self-produced videos as a teenager during the mid-late 2000s. His debut comedy album, Bo Fo Sho, came in 2008 and led to three additional releases with Comedy Central Records. As well as producing comedy albums and specials, Burnham has appeared in several mainstream movies that include Funny People, Hall Pass, and The Big Sick. All of these movies helped to lay the groundwork for his own directorial debut with the 2018 movie Eighth Grade, which was released to critical acclaim.

While YouTube celebrity is starting to become synonymous with controversy in the public consciousness, Burnham has earned a large following and remained popular many years after his breakout YouTube releases. His brand of self-aware comedy continues to appeal to a wide range of audiences and he has worked on productions for big-name peers in his industry such as Jerrod Carmichael and Chris Rock. Here is where to watch all of Bo Burnham's comedy specials.
