Beginning with improv in 1997 and moving to New York in 2000, Birbiglia built a reputation as a stand-up and storyteller, appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman and contributing to The Moth before achieving breakthrough success with his 2003 solo show *Sleepwalk with Me*. Over two decades, he has become the preeminent practitioner of autobiographical theatrical comedy, crafting award-winning solo shows that have graced Broadway and off-Broadway stages while simultaneously directing and starring in film and television adaptations that have reached millions. His evolution from stand-up comic to multimedia artist reflects a deeper artistic ambition: the transformation of personal vulnerability into universal emotional truth.
