Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia

4.0

I'm a closet stand-up fan and Birbiglia is one of my current favorites. This book duplicates a fair amount of his stand-up material (and his National Public Radio bits) verbatim. That said, he's a comedian who clearly crafts every single word of every bit--so the fact that he would repeat bits word for word is not surprising.

This book is worth reading for Birbiglia's epic stories of sleepwalking alone. There are several other stories that are classics in the making, too. Plus, if you were a Mitch Hedberg fan, you'll also really enjoy the chapter were he talks about the influence Hedberg had on his early career.
