Brian Welk TheWrap 07/16/2019
No one is better at constructing hilarious, personal, soul-searching monologues of insecurity and Catholic guilt than Mike Birbiglia. Go to Full Review Jason Seligson New York Magazine/Vulture 07/08/2019
There's a delightful optimism that Birbiglia exudes in his work that's on full display in Thank God For Jokes. Go to Full Review Brett Smiley Thrillist 07/10/2019
A self-described "niche" brand, Birbiglia ambles around the stage and lands almost every joke while discussing "late people" versus "on-time people," the challenge of scratching an itch while handcuffed, and how he became a Muppets villain. Go to Full Review Jake Black Screen Rant 07/08/2019
Now, focusing solely on jokes and paring back his storytelling delivery style, Birbiglia's Thank God for Jokes is finally everything for everyone; assuming everyone is a lover of genuinely perfect comedy. Go to Full Review Dan Hamamura Pajiba 07/08/2019
This special is so comprehensive that it is somehow perfect, then, that the real topic of Thank God For Jokes is the very idea of jokes themselves, and what it means to be a comedian. Go to Full Review Graham Techler Paste Magazine 07/08/2019
9.2/10
With a craftsman this assured, we could definitely thank God for jokes in general, or we could cut out the middleman by just thanking Birbiglia for the jokes he chooses to tell. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ka G Jun 12 This man is a genius. His timing, tone, the space between words and of course the jokes and stories themselves are beyond brilliant. 10/10! See more tom m 09/22/2021 As usual Mike did a good job. A nice comedic break. See more 11/01/2018 Birbiglia is warm and clever. His jokes are nothing mindblowing but it's solid, delightful humour throughout. See more Read all reviews
