My Secret Public Journal Live

Although a bit of this material is repeated from the earlier release "Two Drink Mike", the CD as a whole is my favorite comic CD of all time. I love his irreverent humor and the fact that these things actually happened to him.

Mike Birbiglia is brilliant on audio or video. A great discovery for anyone who needs some really good laughs.

Although one of my more recent finds in Stand-Up, Mike Birbiglia quickly gained a top spot in my favorites list with his first CD "Two-Drink Mike". His new CD doesn't disappoint with another dose of hilariously awkward anecdotes that resonate with the misfit in me and another not-so-subtle "political" analogy. "Deck accomplished!"

I can't wait for his next CD release.

I think this CD is great. I saw Mike Birbiglia's show live and this CD captures the energy of it really well. I tend to pull the CD out whenever I'm stuck in traffic and feeling uninspired by my music. I think the way he tells stories/jokes is very soothing. Heh.

I didn't find this album all that funny, especially in light of its high reviews (as of this writing) here on Amazon. He tells pretty good stories and it's quite listenable--I didn't find myself wanting to turn it off. But compared to Lewis Black, Mitch Hedberg, Dane Cook, or Dave Attell he just didn't make me laugh that much. I would say that I listened to it with a smile on my face but not laughing out loud.
