Mike Birbiglia: The New One

Ye shall not round the corners of your heads. Leviticus 19:27

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.

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.

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.
