Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man and the Pool

"4.5⭐️ Mike Birbiglia is not afraid to go deep. This is very much about mortality and while there are plenty of laughs, many of them hit with a sharp melancholy of profound realness. This is the kind of stand up I really appreciate for its introspective truths. "

"I’m not crying YOU’RE crying 🥺 As always Birbiglia delivers a heartfelt and honest look at his life, but with this one humor is more the diving board and the pool is filled with tears lol. You’ll be giggling all the way as he takes you on quite the immersive journey through his brushes with mortality, and the thoughts born of those experiences. However, those giggles will often subside quite quickly as they give way to the heart-stopping anxiety-inducing tales that will have you calling a lawyer to help you draft your will and a notary to make sure it sticks. I love him…just make sure you’re down for terror and tears 😅👍"

"As funny as a show about dying could be. Touching and hilarious, loved it!"

"I am a big fan of Mike Birbiglia. He is not the funniest comedian but his humor is smart and hits on a deeper level. His performance feels more like a one man play than a comedy act. This special delves into some of his health issues and while humorous, it deeply discuses death and facing our own mortality on some level. The ending is genius. Loved it all. A must watch for Birbiglia fans."
