Mike Birbiglia: The Good Life

In his latest hour, Mike Birbiglia - who merges storytelling, theater, and comedy in a way that The New York Times has called "Birbiglian" - opens up about his father's recent stroke and discusses how it has prompted him to reevaluate his own approach to fatherhood. Birbiglia says of the new special: "Over the years I've done a lot of personal shows but somehow this one is the most personal because it's not in my past. It's my life right now. So there's really no filter. At certain points during the tour I literally thought on stage: 'Whoa. Am I really gonna tell this story?' But that's sort of the idea behind these shows. I try to probe into what's most painful in order to figure out what's most funny."
