Critics Reviews

Alison Herman The Ringer A shockingly prickly, frequently meta medley of stand-up and song that challenges Burnham's fans more than it caters to them. Jul 15, 2019 Full Review John Hugar AV Club Burnham is a skilled comic and his combination of rapid-fire songwriting and meaty observations about modern life are captivating. Rated: A- Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Brett Smiley Thrillist Heavy on the song shtick, it's a "very planned, to the word, to the gesture" show, as Burnham puts it. Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Andrew Husband Uproxx Manages to take on a darker tone while still making us laugh. Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Jacob Oller Vague Visages When the red, white and blue lights go off, one begins to understand Burnham hasn't put together a comedy special, but a deconstructive stage play of epic proportions. Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Donald Strohman The Young Folks Bo Burnham: Make Happy serves as a pinnacle of what a stand up program should be; a comedian making great strides to continuously improve his craft. Rated: 9/10 Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Mason M Not quite as good as Bo Burnham's previous special, What. Make Happy is a funny and enjoyable film, with the Kanye rant being my personal favorite part. But Bo Burnham can have a tendency to over explain his jokes and why they're funny in this special. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious, songs are amazing as usual, and it is the perfect blend of comedy and introspective material on the life of a performer. However if you just want a laugh without any deep material, this is not for you. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review loving u Wonderful, similar to Bo's other works, but it was able to show his mental state, as well as make you feel a empty dreed after watching, in a good way. I'd recommend it as a good start to Bo Burnham's work, as it has great songwriting, comedic timing, and stage performance! (: Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Bo Burnham's unique and playful style of comedy shines so brightly through his performance that you can't help but enjoy every second of it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member bo is hilarious, and its ever jarring as you know the content of his later work but the lighthearted nature of his former. its absolutely a work of art. im not a standup fan, as you can tell by the fact as a teen i write like a 69 year old movie reviewer, but i truely enjoyed this. 10/10, a must watch :)- mi Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this is my favourite stand up ever, Bo Burnham has such a gift in singing, and comedy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
