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:
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.
Highlights were:
- "The Scrambler", which had me laughing until I cried.
- "I think we should connect mouths"
