Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Laugh Track

“Before YouTube, I was just a skinny white kid that thought he was funnier and cooler than he actually was,” sings Bo Burnham in “Welcome to YouTube.” “And now, well, not much has changed, but I have a shitload of money.” Subtle the 20-year-old comedian isn’t. But funny? Yeah. Burnham’s satirical musical comedy — performed to his own piano or guitar accompaniment — made him a teen Internet sensation, and he’s since starred in a “Comedy Central Presents” special, toured internationally, and released an eponymous CD and DVD. With tongue-in-cheek sketches about his idea of the perfect woman, white supremacy and more, “the ‘stuff’ he sings about is so politically incorrect it isn’t funny,” says the Boston Globe. “Except it is.” Get in on the funny business at UVM this week.
