Craig Mathieson Sydney Morning Herald Choice phrases are casually dropped, only to reappear with added profundity, and Birbiglia’s ease means that you don’t grow tired of his voice as the punchlines add up. There is, happily, plenty of life left in him yet. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL The Old Man and the Pool is a charming, charmingly brief exploration of the sort of adventures with health hiccups that arise with middle age. If you don’t find it relatable, you’re young or lucky or both. Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Felicia Reich Paste Magazine Birbiglia secures his position, once again, as one of the finest examples of stand-up performers this generation has ever seen. Rated: 9.6/10 Dec 18, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Will make you laugh about the perils of growing older Dec 17, 2023 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider Birbiglia serves up very enjoyable sandwiches. Even if he wishes they were pizzas instead. Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kristy C One of the most thoughtful and creative comics on the scene right now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Jadon G Loved every second. I was crying laughing so hard. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Glen A Based on the opening minute, I thought I was going to hate this, but once I adjusted to his style, he really won me over. Very fun special with lots of great twists. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Mac M So so funny - my husband and I were cracking up the entire time. He tells a story really well and incorporates some very real, sometimes difficult to talk about feelings while also keeping the laughs flowing. Additionally, the background art / video aspect was very cool and was in sync with what he was saying in really peaceful way that also honed you in. Overall, he is incredibly easy to watch and listen to, his demeanor is calm and relaxing while just bringing happiness and joy through laughter. Some very relatable content too. We recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Christine J Mike Birbiglia is an incredible, insightful comedian who brings the subject of dying, disease, family and love to a hilarious, emotional and sentimental testimony that so many of us can relate to. His thoughtful, easy-going nature is endearing and draws you into his life story with humor, tears and laughter. Highly recommend and I look forward to seeing him more! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Dave M This was hilarious, wife and I were laughing so hard that there were tears a few times. A man who loves his family and took all the normalcies of being in our 40s to extreme comedic levels, just amazing, please check Mike Bigheadlia out!
