Mike Birbiglia For Thurber Prize 2011

So excited that comedian Birbiglia is up for the Thurber Prize for humor writing this year. He'll have to beat David Rakoff and Rick Reilly (...people still think he's funny?) but I am optimistic about his chances.

If you didn't have the chance to see his show "Sleepwalk With Me" (about sleepwalking, and also growing up and parents and Walla Walla, Washington ["You can't make me speak Spanish!"]) he compiled those stories and many more into the book of the same name. He's also touring a new show called "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend."
