Mike Birbiglia declares that a joke should never end with "I’m joking." In his all-new comedy, Birbiglia tiptoes hilariously through the minefield that is modern-day joke-telling. Join Mike as he learns that the same jokes that elicit laughter have the power to produce tears, rage, and a whole lot of getting yelled at. Ultimately it's a show that asks, “How far should we go for the laugh?”

This was my second special by Mike I had seen and wow is this possibly his magnum opus. I mean he's so vulnerable AND hilarious.

Mike always delivers quality specials. Nothing groundbreaking or challenging, but his comedy is comforting.
Ben

Polished and poingent, a one-man show for fans of thoughtful but irreverent standup. You'll crack up.

I really enjoy Mike Birbiglia’s comedy style. It’s more conversational and story based vs punchline. Long build up but worth it, imo

I love Mike’s silly takes on the day-to-day—worth watching for fans of observational. The underlying meta ideas here have stuck with me, too

One of the best stand-up comedians out there right now. He is a master story-teller. Funny and poignant.

A great reflection on the importance of comedy. Not as strong as some of his other work, but great nonetheless.

Any other comic & you'd assume as a religious person you'd be the butt of his jokes, not with Mike. Funny without ever being offensive

Sleepwalk with Me
A burgeoning stand-up comedian struggles with the stress of a stalled career, a stale relationship, and the wild spurts of severe sleepwalking he is desperate to ignore.
Tom Segura: Completely Normal
An original stand-up comedy special written and performed by comedian Tom Segura.
Mike Birbiglia: My Girlfriend's Boyfriend
Mike Birbiglia shares a lifetime of romantic blunders and misunderstandings. On this painfully honest but hilarious journey, Birbiglia struggles to find reason in an area where it may be impossible to find: love.
Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping
Patton Oswalt delivers a fresh hour plus of stand-up, covering everything from misery to defeat to hopelessness. It's his most upbeat special to date.
Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers
There's no subject too dark as the comedian skewers taboos and riffs on national tragedies before pulling back the curtain on his provocative style.
Anthony Jeselnik: Fire in the Maternity Ward
Forging his own comedic boundaries, Anthony Jeselnik revels in getting away with saying things others can't in this stand-up special shot in New York.
Demetri Martin: Live (At The Time)
Demetri Martin brings his off-kilter take on acoustic guitar, hairless cats, color schemes, and the word "nope" to Washington in his original special.
Jim Gaffigan: King Baby
The greatly anticipated follow up to the platinum selling Beyond the Pale. In this Austin performance that capped off the 2008 sold-out stand up tour, Gaffigan does not let the audience catch their breath. This all-new show proves no other comedian working today can romanticize laziness and over-indulgence like Jim Gaffigan.
