Publisher's summary

A strange and charming collection of hilariously absurd poetry, writing, and illustration from one of today's most popular young comedians....

Bo Burnham was a precocious teenager living in his parents' attic when he started posting material on YouTube. 100 million people viewed those videos, turning Bo into an online sensation with a huge and dedicated following. Bo taped his first of two Comedy Central specials four days after his 18th birthday, making him the youngest to do so in the channel's history. Now Bo is a rising star in the comedy world, revered for his utterly original and intelligent voice. And, he can SIIIIIIIIING!

In Egghead, Bo brings his brand of brainy, emotional comedy in the form of off-kilter poems, thoughts, and more. Bo takes on everything from death to farts in this weird audiobook that will make you think, laugh and think, "why did I just laugh?"

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Bo fo sho.

It's fun to hear Bo read his work, but this might be better suited to print or digital formats. Or perhaps an app with an interactive visual portion.

Profane and witty. Laughed out loud over and over, making those around me think I was crazy.

Amazing

It made me laugh, think about the underlining themes, and imagine the story line perfectly. His voices complete the whole thing.
