The New One

In this Broadway one-man show filmed for Netflix, comedian Mike Birbiglia blends observational humor with emotional storytelling to recount his reluctant journey to fatherhood. Grappling with severe sleepwalking, health issues, and a deep-seated hesitation to have children, Birbiglia delivers a painfully true yet hilarious monologue about the physical and existential toll of bringing a new life into the world, and how it transformed his marriage and identity.
