## Bio

Burnham uploaded self-written comedy songs to YouTube in 2006 at fifteen, leaning into wordplay and dark subjects that caught fire when the platform was still new. He pivoted to stand-up that blended music with traditional bits, releasing three specials between 2010 and 2016 before stepping back from live performance - later admitting panic attacks had made the stage unbearable. He directed Eighth Grade in 2018, a coming-of-age film about adolescent anxiety that landed him in a different creative lane, then returned to performing in 2021 with Inside, a one-man special he shot alone at home during COVID lockdown. The project swept awards, won three Emmys and a Grammy, and sent three of its songs to the Billboard charts, all certified platinum - a stark return for someone who'd spent years unable to face a crowd.
