Mike Birbiglia, an epic, heartwarming storyteller, comedian and author, is premiering his new show, My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend, at the Barrow Street Theater (directed by Seth Barrish). I’ve seen this show evolve, and I’m telling you it’s wonderful and real and even romantic. I can’t wait to see the finished product! Get your tickets now!!!

Dear friends,
Big news!
I’ve spent the last few months performing my all-new show, “My  Girlfriend’s Boyfriend,” all over the planet in places like Montreal,  Sydney, and San Francisco.
The reviews have been really positive. I know I shouldn’t read them,  but I kind of asked Google to let me know whenever someone mentions me  on the Internet. That’s normal, right?
The Toronto Globe & Mail writes, “Dead-on laughs and bittersweet”  The Sydney Morning Herald writes, “His compelling wit finds poetry  and poignancy in awkward life events we recognize in a moment.”  And The Montreal Gazette insists, “Catch it while you can!”
Now I’m bringing my show to the New York City.
Mike Birbiglia’s My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend arrives at the Barrow  Street Theatre next month. Performances begin March 18th, and the  official opening is March 31st. Tickets are going to be $49.50 starting the 31st but for the first three weeks you can get them for $35 - you can grab those at 9AM tomorrow morning through Smarttix.com [BUY TIX].
I’m thrilled to be returning to the New York stage; this is a really  intimate theater and the perfect space for it. I hope you’ll come out to  the show.  Hope to see you all there!
Love, Mike

I was so bummed when I went up to Herald Square on Tuesday to see #mikeinthewindow. (To explain, that is the hashtag for the week comedian Mike Birbiglia spent in a Macy’s window display pimping Downy fabric softener.) I really wanted to see it live, but I must have just missed it by a few hours because when I popped by, he was already gone and sadly only this mannequin was left to view (picture above).
Watch video footage of Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black visiting Mike Birbiglia in the Macy’s window. That’s a lot of Mikes. Day 6: Michael(s) in the Window — wedding incident (via downy)
On a wacky nostalgic side note: Remember when Andrew McCarthy was in love with a mannequin? That is why the 80s were great.
