Mike Birbiglia's
My Girlfriend's Boyfriend
A comedy giant who blends stand-up with storytelling...
...tops himself with his new off-Broadway one-man show My Girlfriend's Boyfriend
[MEGA-TOP PICK] [$] 8:00 pm on Fridays, 4:00 pm & 8:00 pm on Saturdays ($49.50): Mike Birbiglia has long been one of the finest stand-up comics in the country, with credits including the hour-long Comedy Central special What I Should Have Said is Nothing; two Comedy Central Presents half-hour specials; multiple appearances on David Letterman and Conan O'Brien; and the comedy CDs Two Drink Mike and My Secret Public Journal—Live. But what puts Mike in a class all his own is a unique style he's developed that mixes the razor-sharp hilarity of the finest stand-up with the depth of emotionally moving theatre. Mike pioneered this approach with his previous off-Broadway hit Sleepwalk with Me (which he then turned into a New York Times bestselling book, Sleepwalk with Me & Other Painfully True Stories); but he's raised his game to a whole new level with this show, which is regularly selling out—for good reason. The $35.50 (discounted via code BOX) price is about what you'd pay at a comedy club...and it'll buy you one of the richest experiences you're ever likely to receive from art. To enjoy world-class laughs while being taught how to value what's truly important, grab tickets at the Barrow Street Theatre (27 Barrow Street, just one block from the #1 subway's Christopher Street stop) for Mike Birbiglia: My Girlfriend's Boyfriend
