Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man and the Pool Reviews

Some good jokes in there

this man is not just a comedian- he’s basically a philosopher! this is so funny and deep and just real about being human. i love his candor and sense of humor

Brings play and humor to traditionally dour subject matter. We need more of this.

Spectacular; brings stand up to a new level.

I enjoy his comedy

Very much a one-man show and not a comedy special, material is often heavy, but I enjoyed it

I’ve always loved Mike. He truly is a theatrical genius. A comic that illustrates a full, relatable “story” with each special. Everything flows and blends perfectly with purposeful callbacks and his body actions that add more context to the stories are hilarious.

Once again he knocked it out of the fucking park. Legend

Silly in the moment!

Much more intentional and intellectual than Matt Rife’s recent special and shows the signs of a true storyteller which to me is the at the heart of comedy. If you’re going to watch one or the other, let it be this one.

Had a few LOLs
