Before Inside and Eighth Grade, Bo Burnham was a humble YouTuber. We chat the comedy superstar YouTuber origins - from recording original music in his childhood bedroom, to performing at YouTube Live, signing a record deal and eventually leaving the platform.

We cover how Bo’s comedy changed as he matured, his signature themes and style, and what makes someone a ‘YouTuber’.
