Sleepwalk With Me

My husband, our roommate, and I went to see Sleepwalk with Me this evening. In addition to liking Mike Birbiglia, Marc Maron, and Ira Glass; it's about a dude who does weird shit in his sleep. How can I not get behind that?

In this fictionalized account, Mike Birbiglia's character moves in with his long-term girlfriend. His sister gets engaged, and his family begins pressuring him to marry Abby. At that time, he starts sleepwalking and begins his stand-up comedy career.

It was a little unnerving to watch, to be honest. I caught my husband glancing at me several times during the sleepwalking scenes, as I covered my mouth with my hands and giggled. It was a similar to the reaction one has when their mom is telling an embarrassing childhood story in front of friends.

Sleepwalk With Me is both touching and funny, and you should probably push up your glasses and button up your cardigan and go see it. You can pregame by listening to NPR on the way there.
