Summary
Mike Birbiglia makes absurdity an award-winning artform in his sleep… literally. The comedian, writer, director, and actor shares with Dan Le Batard how he went from throwing up before shows and bombing to turning his personal experience sleepwalking through a second-story window into a critically acclaimed one-man show, movie, and bestselling book. Mike also opens up about how the discovery of a malignant tumor in his 20s pushed him to get his career started, the ongoing pressure of ambition and fatherhood, and the unexpected moment his skeptical dad finally understood him: handing out ice cream outside Carnegie Hall after a sold-out show. Mike's latest Netflix special, "The Good Life", is streaming now and subscribe to his “Working It Out” podcast.
