One Man Show: Mike Birbiglia

Soundcheck | May 26, 2011

Three years ago, Mike Birbiglia chronicled his hilarious – and harrowing – struggle with a sleep disorder in the Off-Broadway play “Sleepwalk With Me.” It spawned a book and appearances on the public radio show “This American Life” and Comedy Central. Now, Birbiglia has returned to the New York stage with a show called “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend.” He explores the awkward side of romance with our audience in The Greene Space.

This is a repeat edition of Soundcheck.
