Bo Burnham Announces Album for ‘Inside’ Comedy Special

Last month, Bo Burnham released a surprise Netflix comedy special, Inside, where he explored the realities of living through quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic. As with Burnham’s past specials, Inside mixed in stand-up comedy with surrealist humor and plenty of musical vignettes, all written and directed by the comedian himself.

On Tuesday, Burnham announced that the songs of Inside would be receiving their own album, out this Thursday, June 10th.
