This special is hilarious and beautiful at the same time. It blew me away. Watch it ASAP.

But you can choose what you will rate 7 I felt that there were too much moments with deep-thought-silence. Overall - good.

Mike Birbiglia tells a good story. This was an easy-to-watch stand-up show that had me laughing out loud a couple of times. Highlights were: "The Scrambler", which had me laughing until I cried. "I think we should connect mouths" It lost me a little towards the end and unfortunately descended into a lot of yelling. What the hell is with so much stand-up just consisting of yelling these days? It was a well-written show though, and it's hard to dislike Birbiglia. His stories flow together effortlessly. I'm sure many of us can relate to some of his awkward first steps into the world of love and romance.

Mike Birbiglia gives a stand up performance that is truly unique with his newest comedy special. His show almost takes the form of a one act play more than a standard comedy special. He gives his audience a beautifully honest insight into his personal experiences over his life of tumultuous relationships. His honesty is heartfelt and produces moments of true humanity free of any stage persona or affectation while still delivering consistent laughs. A must see for anyone interested in people furthering the art of stand up comedy.I would recommend any one who finds this review helpful to also see Birbiglia's film Sleepwalk with Me.

Despite releasing three albums, one previous special, a book and a movie based on his life in which he, himself, starred, Mike Birbiglia still keeps things pretty low key. His broadcast experience has taken him from being a stand-up to being more of a spoken-word story-teller. At times, he reminds me of what Stuart McLean would have been like as a young buck; one can certainly see Birbiglia settling into broadcasting in his later years as a semi-retirement plan. This special sees him working through the theme of relationships with a format that leans a little less towards straight stand-up and more towards a one-man show; the second half particularly is dedicated to sharing and explaining an arc he recently endeavored in his personal life. Birbiglia recalls some of his previous experiences in the search for love in his usual self-deprecating manner. His delivery is natural and he's so winsome and sincere he gets away with some playful but frank observations about sexes. Looks like Seth Rogan meets John Ritter and just as fun to spend time with.

I know that I have given a concrete idea a human trait, but I stand by it. I have watched this particular stand-up special by comedy veteran Mike Birbiglia twice. And both times, I have been captivated at what this stand-up special actually is. Birbiglia instantly becomes a storyteller as well as a stand-up comedian, and it is amazing. Told in a semi-nonlinear sequence, Birbiglia speaks about his childhood and his adolescence, his teenage years, and finally his adulthood. Throughout, he often makes references to his social awkwardness and his contempt with the concept of marriage, as well as goes into detail about certain aspects of his life when growing up, including how he decided to go into comedy. I could definitely see this being made into some sort of independent romantic comedy film, ironically speaking. A film that shows mainly flashbacks and most of its dialogue is a narrator narrating everything that is happening. This stand-up special transcends what stand-up specials used to be, and I could consider this one of the most influential. It is simply that good.
