Award-winning comedian, author, and filmmaker Mike Birbiglia returns to the Newport Comedy Series with more painfully awkward stories in a show about jokes, and how they can get you in trouble. Join Birbiglia as he visits Cats-a-chusetts, argues with a stranger about her nut allergy, hosts an awards show for angry celebrities, and learns that Fozzie Bear is a tough act to follow.
Ira Glass of public radio’s This American Life writes “Birbiglia’s stories are even funnier live than they are on the radio.” Time Magazine calls Birbiglia “master of the personal, embarrassing tale.” The New York Times describes him as a “supremely enjoyable monologist.”
Currently Birbiglia is touring the country with his all-new show and planning his follow-up feature film.
