'Broadway's greatest comic storyteller' (Deadline.com). Mike Birbiglia plays at the Edinburgh Fringe. Chronicling his coming-of-middle-age story Mike asks the big questions: Why are we here? What's next? What happens when the items at the doctor's office that you thought were decorative become functional? This tale of life, death and a highly chlorinated YMCA pool resonates with audiences aged 12 to 112, and won rave reviews whilst playing to sold-out houses in the US. Now 'the best comedy of the year' (New York Times) promises to charm audiences across Edinburgh.

Why is US stand-up Mike Birbiglia still alive?
The comic, who has survived cancer and once sleep-jumped through a closed hotel window, is bringing his Broadway smash about mortality to the UK. 'I guarantee you'll laugh,' he says.
