Preview: Mike Birbiglia, “My Secret Public Journal Live”

Filed Under Records, Stand-Up Comedy

Mike Birbiglia's My Secret Public Journal LiveEven at the relatively early stage of his career, Mike Birbiglia has become a major talent. His work is very human and relatable, with an ability to combine both confusion and insight to stunning effect. The title of his latest album “My Secret Public Journal Live” kind of captures the spirit of the age. What are most blogs but little secret public journals?

The original ideas were performed as stories for radio (and some were collected as such on an earlier Birbiglia album), but here they’ve been converted and performed as stand-up bits. In the following track, “Porno for Parents”, Mike shares with us a particular virulent infection of his parents’ home computer, something anyone’s who come home to visit their folks might be familiar with.

Letterman Intern has already learned the most important lession: "To try as hard as you can, because there are 50 people ready to take your spot at the drop of a hat." (Washington Post)

SNL writer Andrew Steele joins Funny or Die as Creative Director. The Paris Hilton video is nice, but maybe he'll help them figure out how to get Cracked magazine's traffic.

Megan Ganz of the Onion: "I think you get to a certain level of comedy sophistication and you come full circle. Then the only thing that makes you laugh anymore is when someone shoots a bean out of their nose." (The Apiary)

Kevin Smith Gets an "R" for Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Third time he's talked the MPAA into giving one of his comedies a lower rating. Must be a great debater.

World's oldest joke discovered. And it's "toilet humor" but of the indecipherable, "I guess you had to be in Sumeria" kind.
