Mike Birbiglia declares that a joke should never end with 'I'm joking.' In his all-new comedy, Birbiglia tiptoes hilariously through the minefield that is modern-day joke-telling. Join Mike as he learns that the same jokes that elicit laughter have the power to produce tears, rage, and a whole lot of getting yelled at. Ultimately it's a show that asks, 'How far should we go for the laugh?'

Tonight, December 1st, The Ally Coalition and Above Average will present their 2ND ANNUAL TALENT SHOW SUMMARY at New World Stages.
