Bo Burnham will perform in Syracuse as part of his Make Happy Tour.

Comedian Bo Burnham is set to bring his blend of music, theatre and stand-up to The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater November 14 at 8 p.m., according to an Oncenter press release.

Burnham will visit Syracuse and 30 other cities on the second leg of his 2015 Make Happy Tour.

Tickets for the Syracuse show will be available in person at the Solvay Bank Box Office at The Oncenter or online via Ticketmaster.com beginning Friday at 10 a.m. Ticket prices have not yet been announced, as presale tickets will be made available Thursday morning.

This the second comedic act that the Oncenter has announced this week, announcing Monday that comedian Gabriel Iglesias was headed for the Salt City.

Burnham was the youngest person to ever record a half-hour Comedy Central special at the age of 18. Since then he has released two hour-long specials: “Words, Words, Words” in 2010 and “what.” in 2013. “what.” was released for free on Netflix and YouTube at the same time, and has since received over 8 million views on YouTube.



The Boston-raised comedian became popular after his quirky brand of comedy became a YouTube sensation in the late 2000s. Burnham’s off-the-wall songs and musical performances recorded in his room and posted to the video-sharing site, helped to launch his career.
