The stand-up comic and frequent contributor to This American Life on life, his career and his new movie, which was co-written by Ira Glass.

Mike Birbiglia turns serious issues into comedy. His stand-up acts include stories about being diagnosed with an unknown tumor while still a teen, and having a serious sleep disorder that caused him to sleepwalk out a second story window. We hear about his new semi-autobiographical movie, produced and co-written with "This American Life" host Ira Glass.
