Platinum selling comedian Bo Burnham brings his satirical musical stylings back to Comedy Central with his new album "what." which will be released on December 17 by Comedy Central Records and available on iTunes, Amazon and all streaming services. The album is available for pre-order on iTunes now.

Recorded live in Madison, WI, "what." shows Burnham at his best - dissecting and subverting his relationship with comedy and the audience with his quick-witted hybrid of stand-up, music, poetry and theater. Through 18 hilarious tracks (13 recorded live and five in studio), Burnham shares a battle between his left and right brain, perverted miming, a song from God's perspective and much more.

This is Burnham's third album on Comedy Central Records. His most recent album "Words, Words, Words," recorded live at Caroline's on Broadway, rocketed to #1 on the Billboard comedy chart.

Comedy Central Records' previously released recordings include: Gabriel Iglesias "Aloha Fluffy," "Owen Benjamin: High Five Til It Hurts," AZIZ ANSARI's "Dangerously Delicious," "Jim Gaffigan's "Mr. Universe," George Lopez' "It's Not Me, It's You," Reggie Watts' "A Live At Central Park," Hannibal Buress' "Animal Furnace," John Mulaney's "New in Town," "Patton Oswalt's "Finest Hour," Lewis Black's "The Prophet," Louis C.K.'s "Hilarious," Bo Burnham's "WORDS, WORDS, WORDS," Mitch Hedberg's "Do You Believe in Gosh?," Dane Cook's platinum-selling "Harmful If Swallowed" and double- platinum "Retaliation," and the Grammy® Award-winning "Lewis Black: The Carnegie Hall Performance."
