COMEDY singer Bo Burnham is a YouTube sensation - with 65million views of his non-PC songs filmed in his bedroom.
And now the 19-year-old is being hailed as the star of this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival after taking his tunes to the stand-up stage.
The keyboard player, of Danvers, Massachusetts, US, found fame at 16 after posting a clip of his song.
It got one million hits overnight and the schoolboy was snapped up by an agent. More cheeky cyber songs followed, including My Little Secret.
He then released an online EP before putting out a full album of his jokey numbers.
Bo is now writing a Hollywood movie script. He said: "I'm not singing like a 16-year-old. I'm trying to get away from being the dirty-song kid."
A GANG of arrogant burglars who posted rap videos on YouTube taunting cops have been jailed.
Matthew Murtagh's self-styled "Night Crawlers" raided 17 homes and boasted they would never be caught.
They stole luxury cars as well as a Rolex watch, jewellery, TVs, sat nav systems and mobile phones in Croydon, South London, and North Surrey.
Murtagh, 19, left messages on the phone of an officer on the case saying: "You'll never find me" and "I'll be celebrating Xmas with my mates," Croydon Crown Court heard.
Detective Inspector Lee Hill, of Scotland Yard, said: "Their YouTube videos are a glorification of their criminality."
Justin Bieber
At just 13 justin bieber posted a video on youtube of him singing with me by neyo and was accidently found by Scooter Braun. Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher.
