A true masterpiece of intelligent comedy. Bo has really raised the bar for himself in this special. Be prepared to be fully immersed in this one man show, that touches on just about all the absurd and beautiful aspects of being human today. Sheer genius. Written, directed, edited, and filmed by one man with an incredible vision… and he nailed it. Absolutely epic.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Bo Burnham uses unconventional means to make the audience laugh in "Inside." The lyrics to ever song are bizarre, but true and relatable. Every song takes something that you would never think for a second to be a song, and makes it a song. Great!

A really dark but relatable insight into how life was during the pandemic to be trapped inside desperately trying to find something to entertain yourself. Accurately describes the feelings of hopelessness and aging in a way that is relatable even out of the pandemic. A funny but thoughtful film that will stick with you long after you've finished

I grew up alongside Bo Burnham. I remember watching his specials on Comedy Central and laughing about the edgy jokes he would proudly make. For years, he just wasn't around and I had never thought to question it. When Inside was released, I had no Ira what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar name. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience. This could very well be one of the greatest pieces of media ever created. With an astounding soundtrack, incredible lyrics, and perfect comedic timing, Bo single-handedly crafts the story of his own mental turmoil in a time when we all might have been feeling similar. This project has to be seen to be believed and I can not recommend it enough. Everyone has felt alone in the world at one time or another. Bo feels that too. And then he tries to laugh about it.

Inside felt like a hilariously disturbing, and disturbingly hilarious, deep dive into my own internet-addled brain.

Though his Netflix pandemic special focuses on home confinement, it's entertaining enough - and beautiful enough - to work in a theater.

Rated: 3/4

Maybe five years from now it, too, will be hailed as a classic. Or, once the apathy subsides and we all transition out of the liminal space between lockdown and full reopening, maybe we'll recall it, vaguely, as some decent content about and of its time.

I laughed through multiple viewings of Burnham’s song-filled reflections on living through the pandemic, though it’s the deep personal moments that stick with me.

Ready Steady Cut

Bo Burnham: Inside is by far one of the riskiest and original comedy specials to come out in years. It’s a one-man show that will surely rub many the wrong way and will most certainly cause a strong reaction from its supporters and detractors.

Rated: 4/5
