Mike Birbiglia's new CD "Sleepwalk With Me Live" will be released by Comedy Central Records on April 19th and to celebrate the occasion, Comedy Central and Mike want audience members of his new off-Broadway play My Girlfriend's Boyfriend to live the dream as well. At the April 20th performance of the critically acclaimed show at The Barrow Street Theater, all audience members will receive a free autographed CD.
In 2008, Mike teamed up with award-winning director
Seth Barrish in the stage show Sleepwalk With Me, which was presented by
Nathan Lane. The New York Times praised Birbiglia's Off-Broadway hit as "simply perfect." The show won the Nightlife Award for Outstanding Engagement by a Comedian and received Drama Desk,
Lucille Lortel, and Outer Critics' Circle Award nominations as Best Solo Show. The play transcended joke-to-joke comedy and wove humor into a single, compelling story. "Sleepwalk With Me Live" invites listeners to re-live Mike's hilarious stories as well as the infamous night in the hotel room in Walla Walla, Washington.
This play was the basis for Mike's New York Times Best Selling memoir Sleepwalk With Me (Simon and Schuster, 2010) and a 2010 National Comedy tour.
In
Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, Mike shares a lifetime of romantic blunders and miscues that most adults would spend a lifetime trying to forget. On this painfully honest journey, Mike struggles to find reason in an area where it may be impossible to find--love. The New York Times raves, "A supremely enjoyable monologuist!" and The New York Daily News cheers, "FOUR STARS! Where
Mike Birbiglia goes, hilarity follows... There's not a comic monologuist out there who is funnier. Gleeful...priceless...great!"
Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend was also a Critics Pick in The New York Times, Time Out New York, and
New York Magazine.
