Song:Porno For Parents
Album:My Secret Public Journal Live
Mike Birbiglia is a comedian who seems to be getting more into filmmaking these days. He did some specials for Comedy Central though he has now moved to Netflix after appearing on Orange Is The New Black. Performing live is where he started. He was born June 20, 1978 in Shrewsbury, MA. After watching Steven Wright, Birbiglia started writing jokes as a teen. He attended Georgetown and performed at The Improv while in school. After graduating, Birbiglia moved to New York and appeared on Late Show with David Letterman in 2002. He released an album in 2004 and that and his live shows got him a deal with Comedy Central. Porno For Parents is from his 2007 CD My Secret Public Journal Live. He produced a video for that track. His first comedy special was in 2008. A sitcom pilot based on Birbiglia's live was shot for CBS in 2008. But it did not go to series. Birbiglia says the pilot failure was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him. In 2010, Birbiglia wrote the book Sleepwalk With Me. He turned it into a live show and then a film. He did a second show My Girlfriend's Boyfriend in 2011. He continues to perform. His latest comedy special Thank God For Jokes was released by Netflix last year. This was after he appeared on several episodes of the popular Netflix series Orange Is The New Black. He also wrote, directed and starred in the 2016 indie film Don't Think Twice. He also is a regular on the podcast This American Life. And he is currently on tour. So Mike Birbiglia is one busy guy and he likes to do everything. Here's the video for Porno For Parents by Mike Birbiglia.
