Mike Birbiglia

Beloved in the US but little known over here, Mike Birbiglia charms audiences with his stand-up cum storyteller shows that take a digressive mosey through the comedian's personal life, and often hinge on a single life-changing moment. Latest show, Thank God for Jokes, is no exception. It details a controversial joke Birbiglia told at a high-profile US awards show. Catch this rare UK performance.
