Bo Burnham has a new special out on Netflix. It’s called “Make Happy’’ and features his thoughtful wit and clever observations of the world. At 25, the musically-talented Hamilton native is a smart performer who takes stand-up comedy to a whole new level (some folks on Reddit say his specials are more like performance art). In “Make Happy,’’ Burnham reflects on a wide range of topics, from country music singers who pander to their audiences to the frustratingly small size of Pringles cans. He even sings about the woes of being a straight white man:
I state my problems, other people roll their eyes/?Three trips to the mall zero khakis in my size/?I’ve never been the victim of a random search for drugs/?But you can’t say my life is easy until you’ve walked a mile in my Uggs.
