All About Bo Burnham's New Special And Relationship Status

Comedian, singer, actor, and director Bo Burnham took to Instagram and announced his upcoming special Inside teaser on April 28th, 2021. In the post, he mentioned that the special was filmed by himself without the help of any crew during the time of lockdown.

After a month of revealing the news, he officially announced his special release date on May 22nd, 2021, via Instagram post. His special "Inside" hit the theatre for just one night on June 22nd, 2021. 

First Special After Five Years

After the comedian's last special- Make Happy, was released in 2016, he decided to take time off from a stand-up comedy. During an interview in 2018, he mentioned that he took a break as he struggled with anxiety and had panic attacks on stage sometimes. Burnham also mentions that he directed the 2018 movie- Eighth Grade to overcome his anxiety. 

He stated-

"It's an incredibly surreal place to have one, within the confines of something you made in front of 3,000 people, that have no idea, that paid to come see you...It's funny in hindsight..."

Burnham also adds- 

“I realized that the sort of depth of my experience was not unique to me...That’s why I wanted to make a movie about someone that’s performing and seeking an audience and wanting all those things but isn’t a 27-year-old male comedian.”

Hence, after five years, he is back again with his new Netflix special- Inside, which was written, directed, filmed, and performed by himself during the lockdown. Bo shared a small snippet of his new special, and the caption read- 

"hi. i made a new special. it was filmed by me, alone, without a crew or an audience, over the course of the past year. it is almost finished. i hope you like it."

The special was released on May 30th, 2021, and is now available for streaming on Netflix.
