Mike Birbiglia is an American stand-up comedian from Shrewsbury, MA. Inspired by a set from comic legend Steven Wright, Birbiglia decided to fully devote his efforts to comedy while attending college in Washington D.C., where he began to make a name for himself with a unique blend of witty one-liners, engaging storytelling and real, often serious elements from his personal life. After moving to New York City he paid his dues on the comedy club circuit ad eventually found himself a guest on shows such as The Late Show with David Letterman, while also landing headlining Comedy Central specials and recording live albums. Birbiglia's ability to remain funny even in moments of stark honesty has helped him collect a loyal fan base in the US.
