    Hilarious!

    by Boston Meg on 12/28/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Great show! It was a perfect night out. Wonderful opening acts, laugh out loud funny. Just observations on life, but with a humorous lens.

    Just OK

    by Heansbeans on 12/26/23The Wilbur - Boston

    I am a huge fan of Mike Birbiglia but I think one of the reasons I do is that I enjoy his style of performing. His specials tend to be almost like a one act play where most jokes center around a particular theme. Christmas Parmesan didn’t follow that format. There was no underlying message- no central idea that all the jokes centered around. It was just a hodgepodge of jokes that felt thrown together. I felt kind of let down.

    Great comedy, painful seats

    by William on 12/26/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Mike Birbiglia and his openers provided a great night of comedy. The seats, however, were very painful. Would be a 5-star review if our seats hadn't caused us both pain. Our seats were front row, center balcony. My seat was slightly broken and had an awkward slope, which would have been less of a problem if the padding weren't terrible. My date's seat was not broken but still had terrible padding. This was our 5th visit to the Wiblur, so we know the seating in the other areas isn't bad.

    The first 10 seconds

    by Plus jamais on 12/26/23The Wilbur - Boston

    It was immediately clear he was tipsy (trying to be kind). I brought my family and I was embarrassed - one member is in recovery. In retrospect we should not have gone.

    A master story teller

    by Harry K on 12/26/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Seeing Mike Birbiglia isn't so much going to see a comic tell jokes. It's a friend telling you the story of their lives with all the funny twists and profound observations. You are drawn in while time stops.

    Good show

    by LaurenD on 12/26/23The Wilbur - Boston

    I had seen Mike last year in Old Man in the Pool. I like that format better. I love his story telling. Christmas Parmesan felt more like a straight up stand up comedy show. I did not have tears streaming down my face like at Pool. The ending of Pool was remarkable.

    Fantastic performance.

    by Charlie Ringo on 12/24/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Mike was absolutely fantastic. The seats at the Wilbur were among the priciest and we needed to strain to see. Our view was of the people sitting directly in front of us.

    Crazy seating.

    by Babs on 12/23/23The Wilbur - Boston

    We paid top $ for seats. We were sitting next to (almost under) the stage, at a table, with our backs to center stage. The act was behind us!! Someone needs to rethink this setup.

    Love this guy!!!

    by Jona on 12/23/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Mike Birbiglia is the world's best story teller/comedian. His honesty and vulnerability brings me to tears everytime I see him. When he's in town - I'm there!!!

    Unbelievably enjoyable, from start to finish

    by Alia on 12/23/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Mike has many wonderful shows, but this was my absolute favorite. Hands down. I laughed the entire time — and at once point, I was laughing so hard that I had tears streaming down my face. Do not miss this show!!

    Mike always delivers!

    by Sue on 12/23/23The Wilbur - Boston

    This is the third time I’ve seen Birbiglia live and I always have a great time. I don’t usually laugh out loud but his comedy always makes me laugh. A very fun evening!

    Mike is Great!

    by SallyJo on 12/23/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Mike Birbiglia is even better in person that he is on his TV specials! His storytelling is both funny and heartwarming. This is a show I would recommend to anyone. The Wilbur in Boston, however, is very tired. It's easy to forget about the atmosphere once the show gets started, but don't look around too closely while the lights are still on.

    Very smart guy.

    by David on 12/22/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Very smart and observant guy. This night in particular Mike lacked a little energy. He was great, but seem a little tired

    Always gonna be good…could’ve been better

    by Bitzi1 on 12/21/23The Wilbur - Boston

    Sooooo it was a little disappointing but, since Birbigs is so funny, it was always gonna be good. The two openers were REALLY funny (Gary Simons and Alex Edelman) and an excellent addition. Birbiglia’s set was rather short in comparison and given that he’s the headliner. He repeated quite a few jokes (some REALLY old jokes, including the full and long version of his sleepwalk/jumping out of the window story). With the amount of repeats, even though they’re really funny, the actual new stuff was maybe 40 mins. Don’t get me wrong, this was STILL funny and a good time.

    Is Mike down playing to the masses?

    by Dan on 12/19/23The Wilbur - Boston

    I love Mike Birbiglia. He is an amazing storyteller. That's why i go to him. However, I get the feeling like he's doing more one liners rather than telling his complex stories. I wasn't wowed by him as I usually am. Slightly disappointed and wanted his in depth and thoughtful and complex layering of comedy as his past 3+ Netflix specials have demonstrated. Will always love him but hope he's not playing to the masses with quick one-liner type of humor.

    Hysterical show!

    by VickiQ on 10/24/22Center Stage Theater - Atlanta

    This show was awesome. Started very promptly. Opening act was very funny. Mike came on a performed for well over an hour and a half. His show was hysterical, very put together and smart. I haven't laughed that hard and that consistently in quite awhile and we see a lot of comedians.

    Mike B. Never Disappoints

    by Echo on 10/22/22Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    Mike Birbiglia is a master storyteller and a wonderful comedian. His insightful humor and gentle delivery warm my heart. I never stopped laughing during the show and I smiled for days afterward as I remembered a joke or a witty phrase from his performance. I’m eagerly anticipating more from Mike and will go see him every time he is in my area.

    We Laughed, We Cried, We Loved

    by Pita J on 10/17/22Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    The Taft was a great venue. Easy in, easy out, and friendly employees. The show, as is always the case with Mr. Birbiglia, was the perfect blend of humor and heart. Personal and connective, self-deprecating without pitying, every sentence loaded with laughs. Since first catching him on Premium Blend, Mr. Birbiglia has been in my top 5 list of entertainers.
