"Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" Tour Adds 28 Cities Across the United States

• 

“I had an incredible time touring this show in the first half of the year...it was like a really satisfying series of one-night stands. Also my wife was with me, so it wasn’t like a series of one-night stands."
-Mike Birbiglia

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 08, 2012

Comedian Mike Birbiglia is extending the nationwide tour of his award-winning Off-Broadway show, "My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend" to theatres and performing arts centers in 28 additional cities. Mike Birbiglia originally performed “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend” for 15 weeks at the Barrow Street Theatre, from March 18, 2011 to June 25th, 2011. The show won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Performance, and was nominated for the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards. Mike has just come back from a two-week sold out run at the Soho Theatre in London that garnered four-star reviews from The Guardian, The Independent, The London Evening Standard and The Times.    

In "Mike Birbiglia’s My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend," the storytelling comedian shares a lifetime of romantic blunders and miscues that most adults would spend a lifetime trying to forget. On this painfully honest and hysterical journey, Mike struggles to find reason in an area where it may be impossible to find—love.

“I had such an incredible time touring this show in the first half of the year. From Durham to Boise, to Arcata, California, the tour was like a really satisfying series of one-night stands. Also my wife was there with me, so it wasn’t like a series of one-night stands at all. I guess there isn’t a word for it. The point is, it was fun and I’m gonna keep doing it.”

Tickets for many of these shows are on sale Friday, June 8th. For complete tour info and links to purchase tickets, visit http://www.birbigs.com/tourdates.
