Has anyone seen Sleepwalk With Me? And, if so what did they think? Is it worth seeing or should I miss this one.

I am only asking because I am constantly looking for things off Broadway to see.

I haven't seen the actual show, but Mike Birbiglia is a fantastic standup comedian. I saw him twice this past summer in Ohio. I wish I lived closer to New York so I could see his one man show.

I'd definitely say check it out, solely based on his other standup.

Very, very funny and charming guy!

As a big fan of his standup I knew going in that I was at the least going to have a decent time. The show more than exceeded my expectations. Mike's sense of timing and story telling ability are brilliant. The show also has a lot of heart to it and you get a good insight into not only his life and personality, but also those of his friends and family, especially his father. And he even shot me with his bullet phone (which is a joke anyone who has seen the show will get).

How big is the theater, and like, how are the production values?

The theater seats maybe 200, probably less. Bare stage. The back wall has a large chunk missing, which serves as the entryway. The only props are a stool and a book. The lighting is subtle and very effective.

Really? Bare stage? I always assumed the press photo of him sitting on the park bench was a photo of him on his set.

Very interesting!

The show has GREAT reviews, extended through March, a lot of positive buzz, and it deserves all of it. Sleepwalk With Me is a great show, and you really should go out and see it if you get the chance.
