Mike Birbiglia (birbigs) on his latest Netflix special 'The New One' and the comedy of fatherhood
's Broadway run, the special is perhaps Birbiglia's most ambitious yet. While the 41-year-old comic has made a name for himself telling long stories about his life,features music queues, props and his wife's poetry. While many comics share their reservations and difficulties of being a father, Birbiglia delivers his story with enough grandness and humor that's fit for the Great White Way.about Broadway, connecting with audiences of all ages, and fatherhood.
The set design elements that are spectacular were born out of necessity. When I was on tour, I was seeing the audiences every night and I was experiencing this hiccup in the show. When I would say,"And that's when our daughter was born," the audience would think the show was over. Two or three minutes later, they're starting to look at their watches and stuff.
Yeah, the version from the road is sort of funny. It's just me dragging all of those things on by hand, which was actually pretty funny. Me just walking offstage and just throwing it out, which is pretty good too, but nothing can compete with the sort of speed and abruptness of the actual drop.
