Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man And The Pool

Mike Birbiglia brings his unique brand of humor and pathos to the subjects of health, life, death and swimming.

This guy is funny to me. I found his latest show to be rather meh just because he chose to make his health scare the plot of the special. I get that comedian’s use fun to get through pain yet it just fell a little flat, possibly even boring.

I am carving out some time to watch the guy, his name escapes me, that is on Chalepelle’s team. His last show was reallly good. Chapelle’s last show, not so much. I get him and his methods but I felt like he was either too high, in a low low way, or just phoning it in.
