"Mike Birbiglia is a great storyteller, just as funny on the page as on the stage. These comic gems strung together create a hilarious and touching memoir of growing up awkwardly and finding his way in the cruel world of stand-up. An original wit who raises self-deprecation to an art form, and always leaves you thinking and laughing." -Nathan Lane, " Sleepwalk With Me is about the things that keep us all up at night: love, family and growing up. In equal parts hilarious and moving, this book should cement Mike Birbiglia's status as a national treasure." -Andy Borowitz, author of Who Moved My Soap: The CEO's Guide to Surviving Prison; The Bernie Madoff Edition, "First, know that this book is well written and funny. Now, know that I hate cynicism. Hate it. This book is the opposite of cynicism. I love Sleepwalk With Me ." -Jeff Garlin, Co-creator and Co-star of Curb Your Enthusiasm, "Funny. Very funny. Birbiglia is the child Woody Allen and Bob Newhart never had-please don't try to picture that 'encounter.' Smart and self-aware, with just enough perspective on his quirks and issues that you don't have to feel too sorry for him...as you laugh at and/or with him." -Bob Odenkirk, creator and star of HBO's Mr. Show with Bob and David, "Mike Birbiglia has always made me laugh and so did this book. No one explains their insanity as sanely or as honestly or is as funny as Mike. If you think you're crazy, this is the book for you. It's a good thing the kid is a talented writer and comic or he'd be screwed." -Lewis Black, "Insightful, heartfelt, and comedic-what more could you want from a book? Mike Birbiglia is a unique and wonderful new voice in American theater and letters." -Jonathan Ames, creator of HBO's "Bored to Death" and author of The Extra Man and Wake Up, Sir!, "Mike Birbiglia can write an entertaining yet soulful story in his sleep-that and jump out of motel windows." -Sarah Vowell, author of The Wordy Shipmates and Assassination Vacation, "Mike Birbiglia was always a very funny guy who told stories onstage. But in the last two years it's been inspiring to see the stories get bigger and more complicated and emotional as he turned himself into a real storyteller and-with this book-a real author as well. These are deeply relatable, totally engaging stories. They're as moving and amusing as they come." -Ira Glass, host and producer of "This American Life", " Sleepwalk with Me is so funny, inspired, and jealous-makingly well written, I am beginning to suspect that Mike Birbiglia MAY ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN AWAKE WHILE HE WROTE IT. This changes my whole worldview." -John Hodgman, author of More Information Than You Require, "Mike Birbiglia is a good friend of mine but I'm still really happy when weird, bad things happen to him because I love hearing the stories." -Seth Meyers, head writer and host of Weekend Update, Saturday Night Live

Synopsis
Hello, I am Mike Birbiglia and I want you to read my book. Too on the nose? Sorry. Let me dial it back. I'm Mike Birbiglia and I'm a comedian. You may know me from Comedy Central or This American Life or The Bob & Tom Show , but you've never seen me like this before. Naked. Wait, that's the name of another book. Also I'm not naked as there are no pictures in my book. Also, if there were naked pictures of me, you definitely wouldn't buy it, though you might sneak a copy into the back corner of the bookstore and show it to your friend and laugh. Okay, let's get off the naked stuff. This is my first book. It's difficult to describe. It's a comedic memoir, but I'm only 32 years old so I'd hate for you to think I'm "wrapping it up," so to speak. But I tell some personal stories. Some REALLY personal stories. Stories that I considered not publishing time and time again, especially when my father said, "Michael, you might want to stay away from the per­sonal stuff." I said, "Dad, just read the dedication." (Which I'm telling you to do too.) Some of the stories are about my childhood, some are about girls I made out with when I was thirteen, some are about my parents, and some are, of course, about my bouts with sleepwalking. Bring this book to bed. And sleepwalk with me., Hello, I am Mike Birbiglia and I want you to read my book. Too on the nose? Sorry. Let me dial it back. I'm Mike Birbiglia and I'm a comedian.
