A review by radmusikitty
Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia

5.0

I often find it difficult to read memoirs written by comedians because their comedic voices don't translate well to the written word. Birbiglia is definitely the exception. Perhaps it helped that I had heard some of the jokes before when seeing his live performance, but I could practically hear him speaking the words as I read them. I devoured the book in about a day, and it was nothing short of hilarious. I especially enjoyed the thoughtful chapter about Mitch Hedberg.
