The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia

5.0

I recently watched Mike Birbiglia’s “Old Man and the Pool” live at Kingsbury Hall. It was a magical evening and I told my husband that it was my favorite Birbiglia of all time. He still was partial to “The New One” and so I watched the New One again on Netflix. I laughed and laughed, however I still think “Old Man and the Pool” was the best, but seeing it live (and within the last couple of weeks) gives it an automatic leg up. If you haven’t seen Mike Birbiglia live, stop what you are doing and go buy tickets. After you see the show, read the book and I promise you will love it.
