Variety

Review: Sleepwalk With Me
Mike Birbiglia's mind wanders into the strangest places. Ever wondered what would happen if an iPhone could shoot bullets? No? Birbiglia has, and while his solo show, "Sleepwalk With Me," may be a little lightweight as drama, his consistently engaging digressions keep the aud laughing at problems that probably wouldn't be all that amusing outside the theater.

Back Stage

Sleepwalk With Me reviewed by Andy Prospt
Given his unassuming entrance in his one-man show Sleepwalk With Me, Mike Birbiglia doesn't seem like a performer who could send audiences into gales of hysterical laughter.

Review: Sleepwalk with Me
Mike Birbiglia's solo show deals with serious issues, but is an 80-minute grinathon.

Talkin' Broadway

Review: Sleepwalk with Me
When Nathan Lane talks, in-the-know theatre folk know to listen. Since his lilting punch of a voice commands your attention, why shouldn't his name when he places it prominently above the title of an Off-Broadway show? Sleepwalk With Me, the new show that Lane is coproducing at the Theatre at 45 Bleecker, conclusively proves it should. In Mike Birbiglia, the show's writer and performer, you'll find a talent of such vigorous freshness that you get a glimmer of understanding of what it might have been like to discover Lane once upon a time.
