Virtuosic. ... It feels as if he has created something entirely new and unlikely, both sweepingly cinematic and claustrophobically intimate, a Zeitgeist-chasing musical comedy made alone to an audience of no one. It’s a feat, the work of a gifted experimentalist whose craft has caught up to his talent.

Captures, with a frenzied and dextrous clarity, the unmoored, wired, euphoric, listless feeling of being very online during the pandemic. .... “Inside” is a virtuosic one-man musical extravaganza, and also an experimental film about cracking up via Wi-Fi connection while trying to make said one-man musical extravaganza—although, in the mediated age, when genres are twisted and mashed together, characterizing it feels almost beyond the point.

It is an incredible accomplishment, a testament to Burnham’s genius at directing, writing, songwriting, performance. There are a few overwhelming moments of empathy and warmth, too. ... But it is also mesmerizing throughout, catchy and astonishing and captivating and self-absorbed and desperately thinking of everyone else, all at once.

He plays with forms and genres as if mixing colors. It's often that if you're not laughing, you're still impressed, if not inspired. This feels like Burnham achieving his ultimate form, as a parodist who proves again and again to be exceptionally original and wise. ... A bit more transparency on the creative process, and what happens over the isolated project's timeframe, would help it resonate as an artistic statement.

This show is mind bendingly good. Bo not just breaks the boundaries of a comedy special, he breaks the bounds of comedy and reflects all of the hard feelings we all went through during COVID.

Moving mass of energy from start to finish. Cheeky, satiric, catchy. Sticks itself in your head far after the credits roll.

Loved it. Somehow creates an inspiring, funny, & powerful piece focusing on the loneliness and futility of the pandemic yet demonstrating the capability of a single person to overcome & create something amazing. Well done - killed it.

Absolutely brilliant. By far Bo’s strongest special to date. Remarkable what he has accomplished with Inside.

Semi-thought provoking material, but missed the mark on many current social issues.
