Watch Bo Burnham's new comedy special "what." [VIDEO]

At just 23 years old, Bo Burnham has already made a mark on the face of comedy. Becoming an Internet sensation at just 16, he quickly became the youngest comic to have a Comedy Central special. A recent piece on New York Times reviewed his eclectic, budding career, from a poem collection "Egghead" to a buzzed-about screenplay Gay Kid and Fat Chick. Burnham sings original songs, dances and performs physical comedy in a way you've never seen. His latest special is far from the traditional stand-up joke format of other comics. You can watch the hour-long program in its entirety below.

"This show is called 'what,' and I hope there's some surprises for you," Burnham says as he takes a sip of water after finishing his grand opening song. He then knocks the water over, apologizing, "Jesus, sorry..that's a good start." He immediately busts into an upbeat song, dancing to his own vocal recording:

"I meant to knock the water over, yeah yeah yeah. But you all thought it was an accident. But he meant to knock the water over, yeah yeah yeah. Art is a lie. Nothing is real." It's an unexpected moment he plays with moments later after the track "accidentally" malfunctions: "Art's still a lie, nothing's still real," he sings.

Burnham is highly conscious of the awkward nature of segues. "Every moment can become a comedic moment," he says -- and proves it with nearly non-stop comedy the entire show.

The song "Sad" that he plays on the piano ends with a twist: "I've been telling you guys terribly sad things this whole song. You haven't been sad at all, you've been happy. No, you've been laughing. That's it -- laughter it's the key to everything! It's the way to solve all the sadness in the world!" he says enthusiastically. "I mean, not for the people that are actually sad, but the people like us that gotta f----n deal with them all the time," he adds for the punchline.

Burnham says comedians aren't capitalizing on other people's sadness, but are in fact heroes. It's of course meant to be a joke, but in that moment of the audience's hysterical laughter, you have to wonder if there is truth to that. Burnham acknowledges serious issues and takes away some of the pain our society associates with them, in those moments of uncontrollable laughter.

You can see Burnham makes light of the dark in his personal life, speaking of his (ostensibly estranged) parents. Watch the special below now. Warning: There's language and mature content, making this Not Safe for Work:
