This isn't a prank! Tickets are now on sale for Mike Birbiglia's Thank God For Jokes. The off-Broadway comedy (which recently received a Lucille Lortel nomination) began performances on February 2 and opened on February 11. The Seth Barrish-helmed limited engagement will run through May 29.
Birbiglia declares that a joke should never end with 'I'm joking.' In his solo comedy, he tiptoes through the minefield that is modern-day joke-telling. Join Mike as he learns that the same jokes that elicit laughter have the power to produce tears, rage, and a whole lot of getting yelled at.
Thank God for Jokes marks Birbiglia's return to the off-Broadway stage, following his presentations of Sleepwalk With Me in 2008 and My Girlfriend's Boyfriend in 2011. His screen credits include Inside Amy Schumer, Girls, Trainwreck and Orange is the New Black. Stay tuned to see if Thank God For Jokes wins Outstanding Solo Show at the Lortel Awards, which will be presented on May 1.
