my view of it is do what makes you mentally stable and happy. he said "I'm better with it than without it" which hints at a return. I think it's also probably a comfort knowing that if he did choose to come back, he has people who would GLADLY watch him perform. And personally, I disagree with his statement after that the "I think it hits harder if I don't go back" fo me I think it would resonate just as much if not more if in three years I saw a new Bo Burnham Netflix special I'd think "oh, now he's in a better place he made a good decision, he can handle this right now." But your point stands. I'd much rather not see another bo special than lose him young because he felt too much pressure to keep doing something that gave him panic attacks

I had a panic attack when I was in the hospital, thought I was dying. And since I thought I was dying, the medical staff were concerned I might be dying. Next thing I knew there were 10 different people in there all trying to figure out what was happening, putting on heart monitors and other things. I asked someone if I was going to die, because I thought I should call my mom if I was. She said no, and from there all my imagined symptoms began to fade away, and so I had to tell that to all the staff. Afterwards like 15 doctors (I think most of them were fresh out of grad school doing their residency or whatever) appeared in the room to question me about it. So yeah, that was my first and only panic attack, and it was definitely not chill.

I always wanted that hilarious, cool as a cucumber approach to life that he seemed to ooze. Now i see his honesty is so much better than the act. He's fucking smart, man. How many comedic stars might we still have with us if they had taken the necessary steps to handle their anxiety and depression? It's important to be true to our souls. And maybe not regret too much. Even if what you tried didn't work, even if it feels like wasted time, take what you learned and build on it. I'm high as fuck, guys. But i appreciate Bo Burnham for everything he does.

I love this because we get to S E E a more genuine version of Bo. Like his laugh about his own bad haircut?(Around the 50:00 mark I think) That’s so sweet:)

I think Bo refuses to give himself credit.

its funny to me that the time that he was saying he was appealing to 13-year-old girls, I was a 13-year-old girl. and now, at 22, I just discovered him and I'm watching every bo burnham content available in the internet. its just sad that I didn't knew him when I was thirteen it wouldve been helpful.

That poem in the end hit me so hard now after watching Inside. That poem for me is so sadly ironic. From the dog's perspective (inside a Christmas present with punched out holes)- "I'm stuck in this thing and I'm wanting to leave. There are holes in this thing that hiss when I breathe. The more that I sit here the more I believe that I'm stuck in this thing and I won't ever leave. Back in the kennel the hole/whole cage was ours, but maybe these walls are better than bars or maybe I'm hurdling skywards to Mars and the holes are actually stars."

28:50 As a musician (who greatly respects Bo as a musician, especially after some of the songs from Inside had my crying) I find it VERY interesting that Bo says his performance “just doesn’t feel natural” Due to (I believe) my mental illness (and almost definitely my stoner habits), I often feel like I’m not quite in touch with my emotions. But when I hear or perform a song that touches me, I have a totally different, deeper understanding of who I am Bo and I may just simply be different types of people (though I think it is more likely we are similar people who respond to stimuli different ways, but I digress, oh my god that sounds pretentious), but it’s so fascinating to me (and maybe sad) that his musical performances feel just as structured as the rest of the show and are just as liable to have anxiety (and maybe panic attacks) running through them I’m so sorry I AM drunk, and I feel like I have used so many damn words to make my potentially incoherent point.

I am a 63 year old guy and I love Bo Burnham, he is an amazing articulate well versed artist with a vision that's not only brilliant but extremely entertaining. amazing work, I am in awe really of how truly masterful and yet so humble he is. As for anxiety, I only had one attack in my life and it just so happened to be at a bank and was making a rather large deposit, I was standing in line and all of a sudden out of nowhere it hit me, all I could do is turn around and leave, I felt like I was jumping out of my skin and couldn't hardly breath, it was horrible. It only happened on time and I've never had one before or after that one time, strange. so knowing a little about it, I could not even begin to imagine how hard that would be performing for an audience of a few hundred people and having an anxiety attack... that has to be tough.

Hey, another older person! I'm a 40yr old gal and feel the same way about Bo. Before I say more: I mean _no offense_ to the younger crowd. Usually I see A LOT of teens in these comments, some folks in their 20s, and few if any people older than that. There's *nothing* wrong or problematic about being a young'un! The issue is me: there's so many of y'all I just feel like the "odd man out" in the fandom (And no offense to OP for calling you "older." While I don't see it as a negative term I know for others it's understandably touchy, so I apologize if I hit a nerve). *ANYWAY* I'm a huge fan of Bo. Although I initially had difficulty getting into Bo's earlier stuff, I've grown to like it too. Then Inside came out and it was *incredible* because it felt like he'd found his voice. Not that he wasn't great before Inside: he's always been a brilliant, entertaining, skilled and intelligent yet humble guy. There were simply certain elements in his earlier comedy that didn't work for me (I think someone here described it as "South Park" humor). Moving away from that has been an improvement. I was floored when I first heard him say he's had panic attacks on stage... I've had a few and I can't really do *anything* in those moments. I know they're not the same for everyone, but damn! Onstage? Oof. Of course, I also have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), PTSD, ADHD and bunch of other mental acronyms/issues... (or as I like to say, I'm "fun at parties" and "really, really lucky"). Those issues definitely influenced my experience. Thankfully they've been replaced over time with PTSD responses (fight/flight/freeze/disassociate). It doesn't sound great but they're easier to recover from, for me. I'm sorry you experienced a panic attack. They are awful and bizarre in how they seem to come out of nowhere... Your experience sounds terrible, and I truly hope you won't ever go through it again. 💜

12:44 that made me laugh so hard, just the way he somehow didn’t realise it was there and then went “oh” 😭

Panic attacks fucking blow. They're serious business. I want everyone, Bo included, to do what they need to do to take care of themselves.

now I see why he used so much lighting and creativity in inside. That’s what he wanted to do in a musical damn

i love how he says he wants to make a show dosent have to travel and he made INSIDE he says he wants someone else to sing his songs and Phoebe Bridgers did a cover of that funny feeling. I guess he got what he wanted

18:00 not to psychoanalyze a total stranger lol but the total change in body language here (along with some pieces of his newest special) makes me think he's deflecting really hard. plus the very animated way he starts talking is definitely how some people react to anxiety (myself included)

Yeah totally, notice that too.

Look at him deflecting! He must be reaaalllly struggling here but he's so good at making sure we can't tell" and I can't exactly pinpoint why I feel a bit odd about those sort of statements. Like it sort of seems obvious that any of us would do that because society is so against us expressing any hint of a problem with our mental health, and obsessed with us getting on with things, making money, pushing through regardless of the outcome etc etc. And even on a day to day interaction level (let alone talking about this in front of strangers) most people get pretty uncomfortable and don't know how to react when you talk about this stuff. Not because they don't emphasise, but just because we've all been taught pretty much our whole lives that these emotions should be hidden. Idk what my point is here lol I don't think there is one, but from my perspective it feels like Bo isn't the weird one here, it's societies reactions to a very normal human experience that's weird

@@minimushrooom Appreciate your comment. Thanks for honest sharing, taking the time to put thoughts/feelings into words, without being sure what they were and how to. I experience that often. Soo...my repose to your points... It is a very natural reaction to something "weird." Wierd meaning strange, different, something you know is not right, but it's real and being experienced as true. "Society" (others looking at you) notices it. You (the individual ) Knowtice it too..because you are experiencing it, while experiencing the experience of others looking at you,...but not sure what they are seeing. If they are seeing you (naked, your fault exposed) or just the covering you've been operating under. You're slipping, unsure of how well your holding up (the cover). As a species we've been operating under a covering of things we fashion to conceal the fact that collectively (not everybody individually) are broken beings. By broken I mean not Wholly Holy, wholly put together,... Living, experiencing the full potential of our being. Mentally for sure, Physically, and Spiritually, if one is inclined to believe there is a "spiritual" dimension to our being.

Bro I love this man so much

24:43 Idk why I find that part so hilarious « I cannot handle performing in front of you people. It give me panic attacks. I need to stop And I DID! » The intonation is just great🤣

Holy shit he uses the exact same intonation talking about overcoming his anxiety and getting better in his new special. Fucking hell man. I know it’s probably just his base tone but. Like. To hear him say this about leaving and then again about coming back but knowing he couldn’t like fuuuuuuck

He's a deep thinker with some wisdom to share.

i sneezed at 15:14 and when he said "bless you" it freaked me out so bad lol

Hearing him talk about writing songs and segments with the lighting in mind, it makes so much sense how he was able to create such a cohesive environment with each song on Inside.

I completely agree with bo about how the sizing of screens can create either a submersed experience of an experience of dominance. There will always be that great feeling of living in the world of a movie for two hours in a dark theater

What a nice guy.

I love this...

That poem at the end is so good.

Just here to say that Bo will make history with Inside and his whole body of work. No doubts about that. Apart from being the best comedian of his generation (by far), he truly helped a lot of people when he decided to release Inside. That show helped me so much to go through the toughest year of my entire life, physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. A big part of me knows I probably wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for Inside. I am not even exaggerating it. Just wanted to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you brother Bo ❤

i simply cannot love a man more than i do him

I loved how you mentioned the showing of an audience laughing and clapping to make others at home be like "oh yes time for me to laugh aswell"

Are we going to just gloss over the moment at 10:59, after he talks about the spectacle of a theatrical production, when he mimes adjusting a pair of imaginary glasses (spectacles)?!?!?

I'd be really interested to hear what Bo thinks about Nanette (the special fom Hannah Gadsby). Because she essentially deconstructed performing as well, just in a different manner. But her show was mainly about how the format of a joke doesn't allow for true humanity to sink in and how she feels isolated in front of huge crowds. + a great media-sociologist is lost on Bo ...

Ohhh great idea! Despite being a fan of Hannah Gadsby and Bo Burnham, it never occurred to me that they're both done deconstructions of comedy performances (in very different ways)... I'd love to see it.

I cannot wait for this musical

Great interview!!

Amazing interview

i'd love to see another stand-up show by Bo, but only on the condition that he can handle it cuz i don't think any of us want him to go through any more panic attacks.

ur wish was granted!

as a middle school edu major i appreciate bo's view on middle schoolers and their innocence/relateability to even adults - fear and anxiety

When I first saw his movie I understood everything I knew that he was having a panic attacks on stage I saw what he did and I love it! I enjoy watching and understaning what he performes i wish I could meet him and talk all day about his life and relate to him and I would love to learn more! 🥰

I had my first panic attack when I was 32, just some stuff overwhelming me in life at the time. I thought I was having a heart attack. It was terrifying, I truly thought I was going to die. I think some people use "panic attack" to describe just really bad anxiety, but when you're having a real panic attack you will know, trust me. It's not pleasant.

17:28 I hate that Bo doesnt give himself the credit he deserves :( Mans a genius and too humble to think of himself as such

“maybe a thousand people see this online” lol 36 thousand now 😂

"i'm the all time low of comedians" not atl being my favorite band and bo being my favorite comedian 😅i didn't need to be called out like this

20:08 "ykn'whatimean... it was more like can i express this thing and do the thing that is the answer to the thing and also the thing that caused the thing which is like... ykn'whatimean"

The only reason Pandemic happened is so that Bo could stay inside and make that "one-man-show" masterpiece called "INSIDE"

I'd be happy if Bo came back, but only if he was comfortable and no longer had to deal with anxiety.
