As the year 2020 began, Bo Burnham finally felt ready for his return to the stage. Burnham had been an up-and-coming comedian until 2016, when he began experiencing panic attacks onstage and had to step back from his career. Three long years later, he was ready to start performing again. Then someone in China came down with a dry cough. Bo Burnham’s plans changed, along with yours, mine, and everyone’s. But instead of giving up on his dream of being a performer, Burnham began creating—with a vengeance. Locked down in his home, he single-handedly wrote, performed, filmed, and edited a comedy and music routine he called Inside. The show was digitally released in June of 2021 to rave reviews. Inside captures the experience of living in the twenty-first century with unnerving accuracy. “There it is again, that funny feeling,” Burnham sings at one point, sitting alone in his apartment, cameras rolling. A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall… The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all. Burnham calls our reaction to the perils of our time—rising temperatures, violence in the news and in video games, avalanches of data, disassociation—“that funny feeling.” But of course, the feeling is anything but amusing. Burnham’s work conjures the strange, slow terror of belonging to the most technologically advanced, well-informed population in history…and watching human activity destroy the conditions we need for our own survival.
