Mike Birbiglia on Tour

Mike Birbiglia just finished the first part of his Medium Man on Campus tour.  Here's his report from the front lines of college stand-up:

"I've just completed the first leg of my "Medium Man on Campus" Tour. In 7 days, I did shows at NYU, Hamilton, SUNY Albany, Missouri, Kansas, UVA, and Dickinson. And I am very relieved that I made it to these shows because my dirty little secret is that I am a huge flake. You see, when I wake up in the morning to catch the flight to my next show, there is a tiny little man in my head (who I call Sleepy Karl) who insists that in fact we don't have to go to fly to Charlottesville, Virginia, but rather that we would be better served by lying in bed for another 4 hours and fading in and out of consciousness. For many years I have done battle with Sleepy Karl and for the most part I am victorious. But sometimes I am not."

Mike is going out on tour again soon — check dates and buy tickets here.
