With his latest solo show The Old Man & the Pool, Mike Birbiglia cements his reigning position as Broadway’s greatest comic storyteller – stand-up comic just doesn’t quite fit…
Broadway's Playbill Joins Twitter Exodus Citing Platform's "Hate, Negativity, And Misinformation"
Those insights take him, and us, on wonderfully entertaining excursions. Early in his latest show, he recalls how he’d long planned to set aside his 56th year by keeping his calendar free, and booking a yearlong AirB&B very near an emergency room. As with all great observational comics, Birbiglia can’t resist pointing out the fraud in AirB&B – no breakfast.
Sounds simple, right? But the rigors of this particular self-care routine are, well, rigorous, especially for a man whose very job relies on constant travel and late night hours. “Healthy food goes to bed early,” Birbiglia says about life on the road. “Pizza stays up all night.” When his cardiologist recommends swimming, Birbiglia gives in, even though the near-suffocating aroma of chlorine at his local Brooklyn YMCA triggers disturbing childhood memories of naked old men – including the one that gives this title at least one of its meanings. His adult swimming abilities being so ludicrously childlike that even the Y’s swim instructor proclaims him a lost cause, Birbiglia sets out to prove everyone wrong.
