If you like I’m Sorry, we think you’ll LOVE Funny Cuz It’s True with Elyse Myers. In this episode, Mike Birbiglia joins Elyse to talk about his new Broadway show “The Old Man and The Pool,” and how he makes a show about death and mortality funny. Mike gets into his creative process around joke writing, like how he got underneath the meaning behind a joke about his car accident and a drunk driver. Plus, he tells Elyse why he thinks performing comedy is like stripping.

 

Each week on Funny Cuz It’s True, host Elyse Myers sits down with her favorite creators, friends and comedians to find the stories that have stuck with them and changed their lives in small ways. Not so funny moments that have become funny over time. She wants to know how they handled these situations and learned to laugh about them years later. How do they do it? Great question, I’d love to tell you (but you have to listen to find out).
