Birbiglia performing My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

Comedian Mike Birbiglia knows how to tell good stories. He says that’s never made him the life of the party but it has given him repeat appearances on This American Life and The Moth Radio Hour. His stories are funny, but sometimes they’re painful to hear. Birbiglia recently turned one of his stories into a film called "Sleepwalk With Me" which debuted at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Friday Mike Birbiglia performs his new one man show "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" at Boise’s Egyptian Theater.
