I didn't expect to like a show, where a teenager is being edgy and awkward for an hour, but "Words, Words, Words" just makes this work.
It is the first part of the Bo Burnham stand-up trilogy, followed by "what." (2013) and "Make Happy" (2016). The show is not what you would call classic stand-up, it relies heavily on music and props to support it's jokes, but compared to Bo Burnham's later specials, it has this raw and unrefined feel to it. So if you expect higher production value, you may prefer "what." and "Make Happy", but if you are ok with just a guy, on a stage, being funny, then "Words, Words, Words" may be the show for you.
score 8/10
