Description

Comedian Mike Birbiglia’s hilarious New York Times bestseller is now a major motion picture co-written and produced by Ira Glass (This American Life) starring Birbiglia and Emmy-nominated actress Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under).

Finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor

Sleepwalk with Me is a comedic memoir, but I’m only thirty-two years old, so I’d hate for you to think I’m “wrapping it up,” so to speak. But I tell some really personal stories. Stories that I considered not publishing time and time again—about my childhood, about girls I made out with when I was thirteen, about my parents, and, of course, about my bouts with sleepwalking. Bring this book to bed. And sleepwalk with me.

  • Good read

    I enjoyed this book. It was quick to read and had the same tone as his stand up. The problem I had with it is that if you've seen his stand up, you've already heard the majority of the book - but with at times lesser detail.
  • A surprise

    To me, this book was better than anticipated and I already really liked Mike.

    Here I am, in bed, night after night trying to read myself to sleep without waking my spouse or baby. Well, this book ruined my plans. I hate the term "laugh-out-loud", but that's exactly what I did. Numerous times. Birbiglia's sneak-up-and-jolt-you-with-laughter book is written with a hilariously optimistic and trusting voice. I am now going to gift this book to many of my friends. Thanks, Mike.
  • A must-read book

    I'm reading Sleepwalk with Me late at night on my phone. If I laugh out loud anymore at this book my wife is going to kill me. Remember world - if I die tonight it's Mike Birbiglia's fault.

    After being a fan of his comedy albums, I started seeing more and more of him. I decided to take a chance on this digital book and at the end, it would have been worth it if real trees were destroyed to make this book. Funny. Real. Relatable. Only thing missing is the recipe for the English muffin pizzas. Mike, your move!
