Jesse David Fox New York Magazine/Vulture 07/08/2019
My Girlfriend's Boyfriend has a through-line story of how the comedian and his wife eventually decided to get married despite not believing in marriage, and it is such a worked-through, complete piece that is both moving and incredibly funny. Go to Full Review Ben Williams Time Out 07/08/2019
A charming, confessional storytelling show, taped at an intimate Seattle theatre. One for a Sunday afternoon. Go to Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 07/08/2019
Although "Boyfriend" superficially resembles a meandering stand-up concert documentary, Birbiglia's stage shows are much more than that... he's actually closer to monologuist and performance artist Spalding Gray than, say, Jerry Seinfeld. Go to Full Review Andrew Husband Uproxx 07/11/2019
... a deeply personal reflection that trades moments of complete sincerity for crazy, across-the-stage antics reminiscent of Sam Kinison. Go to Full Review Ian Sandwell Digital Spy 07/08/2019
The special is an often painfully honest look at Birbiglia's love life in all its awkward glory which marries well with his gentle humour, resulting in an absolute winner. Go to Full Review Jon O'Brien metro.co.uk 07/08/2019
The result is a masterful one-man show that cements Birbiglia's reputation as one of contemporary comedy's ultimate storytellers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

tom m 09/22/2021 As usual, Mike is quite entertaining. I nice comedic break. See more Cinco H 04/02/2017 Funny, honest and touching; a well mapped out narrative of an ordinary dudes life. I have seen this comedy special more times than I can count on both hands. Very well worth the time spent. See more Ted W 03/09/2017 The art of story telling is truly dying. It's so nice that there are practitioners of the arts who still work hard to keep this form vibrant and interesting. Birbiglia has created a truly unique tale about love, personal values and the ability to change. See more Joey S 05/03/2016 I really like this guy See more Brian B 03/27/2016 Genius. More one-man-show than stand up. Absolutely loved it. See more Filipe C 02/09/2016 More than a stand-up performance, Mike Birbiglia puts on a one-man show. Crafting his narrative with hilarity and wisdom, My Girfriend's Boyfriend is a wild ride, grounded and often times touching, showcasing Birbiglia's range and a knack for storytelling.
