Bo’s pilot ZACH STONE IS GONNA BE FAMOUS that he created and is starring in for MTV was just picked up to series. This singe camera comedy co-written by Bo with Dan Lagana is about a kid fresh out of high school who hires a camera crew to film him because he wants to be famous. Production will start early Spring of 2012 with an anticipated Fall 2012 air date.
Bo Burnham has already started compiling film credits with roles in Apatow’s “Funny People,” Rob Schneider’s “Virgin on Bourbon Street”, and most recently Federighi’s coming-of-age comedy “Sin Bin”. We are currently developing a feature film for Bo to star and produce with the Gotham Group a comedy entitled “Unique Visitor” with Dan Lagana and prior to that Bo sold a feature to Judd Apatow and Universal Pictures.
Bo has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest where he performed to sellout audiences and he won the Spirit of the Fringe Award which is a huge accomplishment. In addition he was also the youngest performer ever nominated for the best show award in the festival's 30 year history. He received five 5 star reviews for his show and now with all the acclaim Bo received we have expanded his international reach through the UK, other European countries and Australia.
Three years ago, Bo Burnham was just another high-schooler recording YouTube videos for fun. Today, Burnham has burst on the comedy scene with a full-length LP, a Comedy Central special. Entertainment Weekly recently named Burnham one of the “12 Rising Stars of Comedy.” Burnham released his first full length LP “Bo Burnham” which topped Billboard’s New Artist chart and was #1 on the Billboard’s Comedy chart in its first week. Four days after his eighteenth birthday, Burnham became the youngest person to record a “Comedy Central Presents” special. In 2008, Burnham signed a four-record deal with Comedy Central Records. He released his first digital-only EP “Bo Fo Sho” on iTunes in June. The album hit #1 on the iTunes comedy album chart and #6 on the overall iTunes album chart, alongside the likes of Coldplay.
