COVER STORY BO BURNHAM Following a blockbuster Fringe debut three years ago, the talented Mr Burnham returned to the US to work with Judd Apatow and create his own MTV sitcom. Now he’s ready to face the Fringe again, with a new show that aims to be more theatrical in nature, and contains what Burnham describes as ‘bombastic introspection’. Find out more on page 14.
