Funny Show! Review by: mlc, Apr 20, 2009 |
| Anyone who's a fan of Mike's will enjoy this show! Saw it with my two teen-age kids and we all enjoyed the show from beginning to end. An older couple sat next to me and they had never heard of Mike. However, they laughed just as much as we did! There are a couple of saucy parts so I wouldn't recommend it for children younger than 13. |

Flee the "10 Awkward Minutes" after the main show Review by: JM of Bleecker Street, Apr 4, 2009 |
| I saw "Sleepwalk With Me" on Friday night, April 3, 2009. The show was okay. I laughed every now and then. After the show, in an add-on segment called something like "10 Awkward Minutes," Mike did an imitation David-Letterman interview with a guest. If audience abuse were a crime, Mike would have several hundred people testifying against him for this crime. It was way, way beyond awkward. It was depressingly bad. Some film maker went on and on ... read more about her drinking experiences as a teenager. Can you imagine anything more fascinating than that? To end this travesty, the audience started applauding before Mike and his guest intended it to be over. Guess that's one way to elicit applause. |

Review by: Martin, Mar 24, 2009 |
| What a fun night! Went with my two daughters age 16 and 19 and had a great time. I loved that it was funny without being obscene -- really rare these days. We have commented on funny pieces over the past couple days. Highly recommend!!!!! |

NOT FUNNY Review by: Chas, Feb 19, 2009 |
| I saw the show based on the 11 favorable reviews on this site. Sorry I have to say this, but in the 80 minutes of the show's performance, I laughed twice! And the fellow next to me, didn't laugh once! This "show" is really an 80 minute monologue about some of Mike's adventures with his family and girl friend. For the life of me, I don't see how anyone could rate this a "Must See". My advice, don't waste your money. Go to a comedy club: ... read more You'll get much more variety for half the money--and hopefully some of it will be funny. |

Very funny!!! Review by: trooper, Jan 9, 2009 |
| If you like to laugh, this is a must see !!! Mike Birbiglia is a comedic treat who forces you to see humor in situations that normally would be off limits. The theater is small and wonderful and makes you feel as though your listening to your funny friend telling you his story in your living room. This show is a must see for anyone who needs to laugh for an hour and a half!!! |

Don't Miss This Off-Broadway Gem! Review by: JB225, Dec 22, 2008 |
| Like many reviewers, I also have been a Birbiglia fan for a while and have seen him do stand-up a few times. This show is a combination of the best humor he has to offer and Birbigs' truly personal story of his sleep disorder projected through prisms of incidents in his life. Mike's expert storytelling combined with his inherent, endearing comedic sense (down to little things inserted into the program!) this was one of the best ... read more "New York" experiences I have had. |

Lots of fun Review by: Terry, Nov 21, 2008 |
| I also enjoyed this show. Mike is a great storyteller and I was laughing throughout. He connects with the audience and you are thoroughly engaged for the 1-1/4 hours he is on stage. |

Another rave review for Sleepwalk with Me Review by: Gibby, Nov 18, 2008 |
| I've been a long time fan of Mike Birbiglia so I was excited to see his one-man show. The humor and honesty that Mike brings to the stage is hillarious and heart-warming all at the same time. Through Mike's excellent story-telling and unique subject matter he's able to keep his audiences engaged and in fits of side-splitting laughter throughout the entire event. I look forward to going back and bringing more friends. |

Great show! Review by: Melissa, Nov 14, 2008 |
| I loved this show. Mike Birbiglia knows how to tell a story, and the personal anecdotes he talks about in "Sleepwalk With Me" are absolutely crazy. Even so, there are plenty of parts to this show that anyone could relate to. The venue isn't very large, so all the seats are great. |

"Sleepwalk With Me" is Fantastic!!! Review by: Jeff, Oct 22, 2008 |
| Mike Birbiglia's show may well be the funniest show I've ever seen in the theatre! You should run to see this before it's too late. He's so unpretentious and delightful to watch. It's like your hanging out with this really funny friend who has wonderful insights and incredible timing. I can't recommend this show highly enough! |
