Mike says, "A few years ago my therapist suggested I keep a journal of all the crazy things that were going on in my life, so that I could keep things in perspective. Around the same time audiences were demanding more mate... more »rial, and I realized that other people might enjoy these stories-so I started sending them out to my mailing list. Now, my Secret Public Journal has become a Comedy Central special and DVD for all the world to see. Not sure this is what my therapist had in mind." BONUS FEATURES

"Mike Birbiglia is a pure talent and this DVD shows off his comedic skills. His humor is not offensive and in your face, but talks about everyday things and stuff that he loves like pizza. He humor is self depreciating, but not in a "woe is me" kind of way, but in a way that anyone can relate to. If he ever came to Minneapolis, which he needs to already, I would not mind taking my kid to his show. My kid wouldn't understand all of the jokes, but Birbigs is clean enough that I wouldn't have to cover his ears throughout."
Great DVD

"While not my favorite comedian, Birbigs is a very talented storyteller and always entertains me. You can always tell how good a comedian is by how many times you can watch the DVD. Some are funny, but only 1 or 2 times. I can watch this one over and over, along with Brian Regan, Pablo Francisco, Daniel Tosh, etc.... It up there with my favorites.
Buy it if you enjoy "intelligent" humor."
Birbiglia is the god of geeks

"This video, as well as all other Birbigs products, does, in fact, rule. He is the god of all geeks. Our only complaint is that he has no intention of taking his tour through Dallas/Ft. Worth, which is unconscionably cruel. Mike, WE LOVE YOU!!! And we, too, make awkward situations more awkward."
Really funny

"Birbigs is such an average guy that we can all relate so well to his humor. This is a really funny dvd. If you are a fan of stand up comedians, this is a must see."
I love Birbigs

"Mike Birbiglia is hilarious. His comedy is spot-on, I love the DVD and all the extras. He is quotable, too! I apologize for having nothing to say, but without any criticism, my notes are brief."
