real I’ve been trying to lose 10 pounds
for about seven years and think this
might be the year I’ve been going to a
woman’s exercise class lately I’ve given
up on having a traditional male physique
and so now i’m going for strong
independent woman and it’s yeah it’s
going pretty well this chimeneas a
regular on late night television has
multiple Comedy Central specials and is
starring in his solos Broadway fan you
mind if we start soon I have to go do my
show right now okay thanks Mike
Birbiglia I met Jenny in st. Louis with
my friend Andy was working for her there
and he introduced us in their hotel
lobby and from the moment I met her I
knew I wanted to sleep with her at least
once it’s a show that’s all about love
and heartbreak and marriage and the
reasons to get married the reason to not
get married and it’s really just kind of
about all the kind of pains that we’ve
all experienced in our lives and and our
kind of in our collection of baggage I
think of myself as sort of a sex maybe
uh which is would just say that if I’m
seeing a girl she’ll think I’d have sex
with him maybe you know um I’m not
ashamed of that I mean there were
periods in my life where I was the sex
never for a long time I didn’t believe
in the idea of marriage you know I
decided as a rule I’m not not gonna get
married until I’m sure that nothing else
good can happen in my life you know cuz
that I never looked at my parents
marriage or really anyone had been
married more than 30 years and thought
like I gotta get me some of that you
hear these homophobic arguments where
these guys are like I don’t like it when
I see two dudes making out in the street
and like I feel that way about anyone
you know like making out it’s so sloppy
you know it’s like watching a dog eat
spaghetti the secret or the surprise I
guess is is that is how I come to grips
with the idea of getting married because
I did
married today I need to know why are you
wearing the sweatband I’m on an
international tour right now I’m going
at gym Montreal and then from Montreal
to Sydney Australia I’m Sydney Australia
to San Francisco and then taking the
tour back to New York City and where
we’re gonna sit the show my new show
called my girlfriend’s boyfriend and so
just one of them you’ll represent
represent the colors of America and
nobody hates anybody with an American
headband right from the stories we hear
on stage you have created a crazy life
what’s in your opinion the craziest
experience you’ve ever had the craziest
thing is I talk about actually I’ll hold
up my book is my book that came out this
fall to help sleep walk with me and
other painfully true stories the
craziest thing that ever happened to me
is I have a sleepwalking disorder i’m
not making this up not doing as a piece
of stick it’s it’s I have a sleep
disorder that’s very dangerous that was
not diagnosed for a long time and it was
called REM behavior disorder and I
literally had an incident that nearly
killed me where i left the hotel that I
was staying in Wallace Lee and it’s
actually much more insane than that but
you’ll have to read the book you
apparently need to be sedated before you
go to bed I take medication which for
RVD which is what i have and then I were
sleeping bag up to my neck and I wear
mittens so I can’t open the sleeping bag
and yeah so that’s that that’s in that
sleep walk with me and then actually
right now I’m working on the screenplay
adaptation of them sleepwalk with me and
we’re planning to shoot that this summer
