Mike Birbiglia plays “Mike Birbiglia” an aspiring stand-up who fails to express his true feelings about his girlfriend and his stalled career and finds his anxiety coming out in increasingly funny and dangerous sleepwalking incidents. Winner of a 2012 Audience Award at Sundance, comedian Birbiglia co-wrote, directed and stars in this sincere and hilarious film based on his off-Broadway show and bestselling book. It's also the first movie co-written by Ira Glass and co-produced by "This American Life."
“Sleep Walk With Me” features Lauren Ambrose ("Six Feet Under”), Carol Kane ("Taxi"), James Rebhorn ("Meet the Parents"), Cristin Milioti (star of Broadway's "Once"), plus comedians Marc Maron, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Jessi Klein, Henry Phillips and David Wain.
So share the experience of a film Stephen Holden of The New York Times calls “an unvarnished portrait of the kill-or-be-killed stand-up comedy world’s lower echelon injected with visual pizazz”, as “Sleepwalk with Me” screens at The Grand on Wednesday, October 10th through Friday October 12th at 7 pm with a 2pm matinee on Wednesday October 10th as well.
Tickets are available at The Grand box office (667-9500) or online at www.grandonline.org. General Admission tickets are $7, while Seniors are $6 and Members are $5.
