Comedian Mike Birbiglia, a name you will undoubtedly recognize if you listen to This American Life at all, is taking his routine to the big screen with the release of his film Sleepwalk With Me, which also happens to be the first movie co-written by Ira Glass and co-produced by This American Life.
The story: when an aspiring stand-up fails to express his true feelings about his girlfriend and his stalled career, his anxiety comes out in increasingly funny and dangerous sleepwalking incidents. SLEEPWALK WITH ME features Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”), Carol Kane (“Taxi”), James Rebhorn (“Meet the Parents”), Cristin Milioti (star of Broadway’s “Once”), plus comedians Marc Maron, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Jesse Klein, Henry Phillips and David Wain.
