Mike Birbiglia Doesn’t Care If You Think He’s a Stand-Up

Mike Birbiglia invites us backstage at the Ahmanson Theatre in downtown LA where he has been performing his latest show all month long. This week, ‘The New One’ premieres on Netflix. Before he went on stage for one of his final performances this past weekend, Mike opened up about his unique process putting ‘The New One’ together and broke down his evolution from stand-up to theater (and why he doesn’t care how anyone wants to characterize what he does). We also discussed our mutual, unhealthy obsession with ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Follow @birbigs and @mattwilstein on Twitter and @lastlaughpod on Instagram.  Highlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast.
