About Mike Birbiglia: Mike Birbiglia is an American comedian, writer, actor, and director.
I never looked at my parents' marriage or really anyone who had been married more than 30 years and thought, 'I gotta get me some of that!'
One of my favourite movies is 'Annie Hall' because it's about the silver lining of the break-up.
There are comedians who focus on everything that is external. They focus on politics and the news, what's going on in that city and that night.
Fortunately, I don't talk about politics on stage.
You know the expression, 'You're only as sick as your secrets?' I believe that, and I think I try to have my work live by that to a degree.
I couldn't recommend more that people put themselves in a situation where they can see a lot of work that they admire, and for free.
