One-man performances by Birbiglia include Sleepwalk with Me, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, Thank God For Jokes, and The New One, all of which have received critical praise.

Storyline
As he tells his coming-of-age story, Mike poses all the important questions, such as: why are we here? What is next? What happens when the items in the doctor's office that you initially thought were only decorative begin to actually have a purpose? When a doctor informs Birbiglia that he inherited the cardiac problems in his family, they advise Birbiglia to lead a healthy lifestyle. He fiercely declines, though, particularly when it comes to swimming, owing to childhood memories of an unbearably foul Massachusetts YMCA pool.
