Thank God for Jokes

In this introspective and hilarious special, Mike Birbiglia dives deep into the nature of comedy itself, exploring the purpose of jokes and the trouble they can cause. Weaving together signature storytelling with meta-commentary, he recounts personal anecdotes including a tense encounter with director David O. Russell at an awards show, his struggles with punctuality, and the arrest of a fellow comedian, all while examining the fine line between being funny and being offensive.
