Judd Apatow’s Latest Discovery
With plans of releasing a musical that isn’t at all like Disney’s High School musical, producer Judd Apatow has tapped the talents of an unknown who will eventually write the music and star in this film.
Who is this unknown? His name is Bo Burnham. Apatow saw what Burnham can do while he was performing at the Just for Laughs Festival held in Montreal a couple of months back. Virtually, though, the guy is not quite unknown in the web world. He has a solid online following on his Youtube Channel, where views have reached to about millions. He is one of Youtube’s stars, in fact.
Over at iTunes, Bo Burnham’s comedy album is also doing really well. It’s usually in the Top 10 list.
Burnham is only 18 years old and is currently as student at NYU’s Arts department. He has also been doing stand-ups in the New York comedy ciruit.
