Mike Birbiglia
Over the past 14 years comedian Mike Birbiglia has developed a one-of-a-kind storytelling style in the world of standup comedy. Time Magazine calls him “master of the personal, embarrassing tale,” and The New York Times describes him as a “supremely enjoyable monologist.” Birbiglia’s 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. Following a successful New York run, Mike brought the show to more than 70 cities worldwide, including the Sydney Opera House, London’s Soho Theatre, and Carnegie Hall. Filmed in Seattle and premiering on Netflix, My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend was selected as the best stand-up special of 2013 by Vulture, Paste Magazine, The Laugh Button, and Laughspin. Flavorwire listed the special as one of the top 20 funniest stand-up specials of all time, and it was nominated for Best Comedy Special at the 2014 American Comedy Awards. Mike has made more than 40 network television appearances on shows including Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Fallon. He is a regular contributor to the Peabody Award winning radio show This American Life. 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.” In 2012 Mike directed and starred in the feature film adaptation of his one-man show Sleepwalk With Me. The film won an audience award at the Sundance Film Festival, was released in theaters nationwide by IFC Films and was one of the top 3 most critically acclaimed comedies of the year on Rotten Tomatoes, with top critics rating it 87%. Currently Birbiglia is touring the United States with his all-new show, Thank God For Jokes, and planning a follow-up feature film.
You can check Birbiglia out in the box office hit, The Fault in Our Stars, and he has also landed a reoccurring role in season three of Orange is the New Black.
