Thanks to everyone who came out to DISASTER COMEDY last night at Legion. We had some great performances by NATE BARGATZE, MIKE LAWRENCE, HALLIE HAGLUND, CHRIS ROSE, JEFF TYC, LINDSAY SCHIFFHAUR and JONATHAN COHALL. If you missed it, just watch this video and you’ll get an idea of what it was like.

We’ll be back with another show on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 23rd. Details to follow.

Mike Birbiglia’s Sleepwalk With Me Started as a This American Life segment, continued as a one-man off-Broadway play, turned into an acclaimed memoir and now has been transformed into a full on movie premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. What’s even cooler, the movie was written by This American Life host Ira Glass. Let’s hope he introduces the film by explaining that it has “three acts.” 

Check out a clip from the movie above.
