Plot summary

Mike Birbiglia declares that a joke should never end with "I’m joking." In his all-new comedy, Birbiglia tiptoes hilariously through the minefield that is modern-day joke-telling. Join Mike as he learns that the same jokes that elicit laughter have the power to produce tears, rage, and a whole lot of getting yelled at. Ultimately it's a show that asks, “How far should we go for the laugh?”

Fantastic

I loved this comedy show, Mike Birbiglia: Thank God for Jokes. It was absolutely fantastic. Mike was an absolute natural as he walked around the stage and interacted with his audience. He was real and easy to relate to. I laughed until tears came to my eye's and my heart warmed up. I thoroughly enjoyed him and will be watching for his show's to come to my area, because I would definitely buy a ticket to go see him in person. Thanks so much, Mr. Birbiglia! :)

Insightfully Funny

After watching this show, I will now look for more Mike Birbiglia. As he notes - he's a niche - but this is what great comedy sounds like, so it would be great if this niche became the norm. Excellent jokes, well written with a low-key delivery that doesn't get tiring. The most magnetic aspect is his humanity that he boldly interjects throughout and brings to the front at the end. Bring your class act to Alberta!! You can even call it Catberta, because cats.

Perfectly presented...

Who is this Mike Bir-Bi-Glia? I've heard of him, but not really! I've seen him somewhere, but not sure where! So when this title came up on my Netflix channel as something that I may be interested in, I thought, "Heck, it's got God in the title, so it could be another fun night of religion bashing by some vaguely known comedian!"Well, it was better than that. This Bir-Bi-Glia comedian is a gem to be treasured. His cheeky grin and wry sense of humour had me hooked from the word go. Most importantly, is the timing, how he spreads his stories around and they all interconnect in a beautiful subtle way. He doesn't rush, but strolls through his tales of life's ups and downs, but mostly his unfortunate events that he turns to comedy gold. Better still, he involves his audience and utilizes them perfectly into his act.By the end, I knew this Mike Birbiglia. I knew where he has been, and I now know where he will be going (definitely not on a David O. Russell film set).
