In the introduction, Burnham awakes in a hotel room wearing clown makeup and walks to the theatre as a robotic voice addresses the audience, commenting on how the world is not funny. The show begins with a song based around
call and response, where Burnham requests various groups in the audience (for example, virgins) to shout out "Hell, yeah!" After this song, Burnham immediately segues into a more introspective and meta song. Following this, Burnham moves to his keyboard and performs a satirical song about the problems of being a straight white male, and then delivers a comedic monologue on the subject of race, in which he tricks the audience into shouting the word
nigger. As Bo begins to change the subject, a pre-recorded song interrupts him, calling him a
faggot, and continuing to call him a "fucking faggot" until he demands that the track be stopped. Burnham segues into a discussion of
hip hop music, and delivers a hip-hop version of "
I'm a Little Teapot" and "
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" to illustrate his point. Following a series of subversive jokes based around misdirection, Burnham claims he will improvise a song about a member of the audience, and asks an audience member for his name—Rob. A pre-recorded track plays about Bo having sex with someone's mother, and he inserts the name "Rob" into the gaps in the track. Burnham then starts talking about
country music and criticising the modern-day industry, singing a mock country song about rich country singers pandering to their audiences. After criticising the lip-syncing segment of
The Tonight Show, Burnham performs a
mime about seeing a penis in a restroom and then a song about love, where he advocates for people lowering their expectations when looking for a partner. He makes some quick-fire jokes and then performs further mimes about making sandwiches while high on marijuana, and intoxicated. Following from a fake advert for
Flamin' Hot Cheetos, he presents a song where he tells the listener to kill themselves, explaining before, during and after the song that it is about the dangers of listening to pop singers' advice and taking their lyrics too seriously. He deals with some brief
heckling before beginning a song about a breakup, which focuses on the man lashing out as a way of dealing with his emotions. He then begins analysing the show's meaning, the culture of performance promoted by
social media and the concept of the
Me generation. Burnham then delivers a song inspired by the way
Kanye West ended his performances for
The Yeezus Tour, by ranting comedically about small annoyances such as the width of
Pringle cans and overfilled burritos until slowly transitioning into singing about his conflicted relationship with his audience and his stage anxiety. This ends the stage show, but a closing segment features Burnham in the guest house of his own home, talking to the viewer with a song where he addresses the rhetorical question "Are you happy?". The song, and the special, ends with Burnham leaving the guest house, and greeting his girlfriend and dog. He later returns to this guest house in his next comedy special,
