Saturday, November 22 | 8pm
Award-winning comedian, author, and filmmaker Mike Birbiglia returns to the stage with more painfully awkward stories in a show about jokes, and how they can get you in trouble. Join Birbiglia as he gets arrested in New Jersey, screamed at by a famous director, heckled by Statler and Waldorf, and attacked by zombie rodents.
Ira Glass of public radio's This American Life writes "Birbiglia's stories are even funnier live than theyare on the radio." Time Magazine calls Birbiglia "master of the personal, embarrassing tale." The New York Times describes him as a "supremely enjoyable monologist."
Over the past 12 years comedian Mike Birbiglia has developed a one-of-a-kind storytelling style in theworld of stand-up comedy. Birbiglia’s recent off-Broadway hit, 'My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend,' won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show and was named a Critics Pick by The New York Times, New York Magazine, and Time Out New York.
Mike has made more than 40 network television appearances on shows including Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Fallon. Birbiglia has released four albums, and both The Onion and USA Today named 'My Secret Public Journal Live' one of “The Best Comedy Albums of the Decade.”
