2010 Edinburgh Fringe
Bo Burnham: Words, Words, Words
Bo Burnham is a 19-year-old American comedian making his debut at the Fringe with his show 'Words, Words, Words'. Bo performs songs that toy with language, showcasing his intricate wordplay and ability to pack jokes one on top of the other. In 'Words, Words, Words' you will hear songs, stand-up, haikus, statistics, pornography rendered in a Shakespearean sonnet and a bunch of other things that will make you think, laugh and then think to yourself, 'Wait, why did I just laugh?' They say you need ten years to become a good comedian. Pshhhhhhhhh.
