The Adventures of Bo Burnham
For many, YouTube fame comes from making an ass out of yourself, just ask the Star Wars Kid or Chris Crocker, but for Bo Burnham intetnet stardom came from his funny, politically correct and pun-filled musical videos. Originally recording these tunes in his bedroom for the enjoyment of family and friends, Bo's YouTube videos have now become an internet phenomenon, having been viewed over 20 million times. Bo Burnham is now expanding his career beyond the constraints of YouTube. Along with touring the country, he is starring in his first Comedy Central Presents special, premiering this Friday. He also just released his third album, Bo Burnham, available now.

Daddy Economopoulos
Comedian Costaki Economopoulos may be the star of our most oddly named segment, but it also happens to be one of the funniest. Since it's debut, The Economonologue has covered a variety of topics including strange superstitions, wacky laws and the origin of clichés. Costaki's able to take the things he sees and hears in everyday life and turn turn them into comedic observations you won't be able to believe you haven't thought of before, and will never be able to forget.

Steve Trevino
When Steve Trevino first began working at the Improv Comedy Club of Dallas, TX he immediately began packing house.  And by that we mean he used to let people in the club as their doorman.  But his years of dedicated door opening eventually paid off when given the chance to become a house emcee and open-mic night regular.  It was here that Trevino met Carlos Mencia, who invited Steve to head out on the road and become the opening act for his Three Amigos Comedy Tour. These days, Steve splits his time between headlining comedy clubs across the country, and living in L.A. where he likes to reflect on his Rock 'N Roll personality and lifestyle.

Why Does
He Do This?
For the past decade, comedian Bill Burr has been working hard (performing over 300 shows a year) to establish himself as one of the finest standup comics in the business. It doesn’t matter if he’s performing on Late Night With Conan O’Brien or Showtime at the Apollo; Burr finds a way to connect with any audience. In his early days of comedy, he did this by making fun of his lunatic father, but these days he covers everything from current events to, well, his lunatic father. Burr has been featured on The Late Show with David Letterman, starred in two films, and had his own HBO and Comedy Central specials, the most recent of which, Why do I Do This?, is avialable on DVD.

The Compliment Guys
Feeling down?  Then you need to take a walk through the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN where two guys are making it their business to make people feel better about themselves. Brett Westcott, a sophomore in civil engineering from Plainfield, Ill., and Cameron Brown, a sophomore in business management from Toledo, Ohio have gained national attention for their practice of standing out on the street every Wednesday and shouting out compliments to complete strangers.  “The Compliment Guys” are not affiliated with any group, nor are they doing this for any other reason than they just like to make people feel better.  Maybe your dad could learn a little something from these two.

The Guitar Guy
After joining his first band at the age of 10, and having his first hit song with Sam The Sham and the Pharos (Wooly Bully), at the age of 16, Brian Haner thought he’d just punched his ticket to a life of success and stardom.  But after moving out to Nashville to record a few solo projects, he realized that things weren’t always so easy.  It was during this time he discovered that his songs were seemed to be enjoyed more when he played them as comedies.  All of a sudden people were buying his albums, only now they were doing so hoping to laugh.  In 2006, Haner switched gears and became a full-time comedian, eventually teaming up and touring out with Jeff Dunham.

FACTOID – Brian Haner released an album that went Gold in Scandinavia.

Vague But True

But no matter the topic, folks all over the country are glued to their radios waiting to hear what Bedore has to say.

Russian Roulette Anyone?
Most comedians claim to have come from bizarre backgrounds, but Wild Bill Bauer is proof positive of what can happen when you grow up around unstable relatives. A brilliant writer with a unique and manic delivery, Bauer combines his outlandish observations and peculiar personal tales into a comedy act that is hilariously shocking and a lot like an episode of Jerry Springer. Known to the BOB&TOM community as the guy with the uncle who plays Russian Roulette, Wild Bill Bauer is one of the few guest comedians that made an appearance on BOB&TOM's Greatest Hits Vol. 1 album. In other news, that famous piece has been made into an animated short.
