Mike Birbiglia: The New One

I have missed him on Netflix! I loved his first three standup routines..especially the one that centered on Catholicism. I was very sad that he disappeared...but was thrilled that he finally had a new show.

He's obviously had some pretty serious health problems, which is why this delightful and charmingly funny man disappeared. He's come back with some bitterness and fear, and I get it. But this new standup is a little dark...

I liked the "Christ is born, Christ has risen, Christ will come at 10." silliness much better.

Mike has always had his own style of long-form storytelling standup. It builds and builds and always has big payoffs and crescendos. This is Mike at his very best. "I saved my best friend's life" \_(o£o)_/

I could vividly imagine every part of his stories along the way, he really bares it all in embarrassing detail but it's so great and creative. It also doesn't sugarcoat any of his experiences with bringing a child into this world, which are often offputting for me when any stand-up comedian does it. Great job Mike Birbiglia I hope this brings you much accolades and new exposure and thanks Netflix for being a great home to comedy.

I found this special hilarious but heartwarming - I felt every part of his emotional roller coaster and by the end, in his words, felt very full.

This routine is both a hilarious take on the fear related to transition to a new chapter and an absolute must see for a new parent. I laughed, cried, and reflected. That is so much more than I've ever been able to say about amy comedy routine.

MB is not afraid to go out on a limb. In fact he does it a lot in this comic monolog about new fatherhood and related issues.
