Comedian Mike Birbiglia brings his new show “Sleepwalk with Me” to Philadelphia’s Zellerbach Theatre this Friday, October 10th. This is a sneak peak performance before his big off-Broadway debut at the Bleecker Street Theatre in NYC starting October 17th. Mike is hysterical, so see him now before Big Time Fame snatches him up and forces him to make a bad movie with Jessica Alba.

Jeff chatted with Mike via cell phone as he trekked through the busy streets of Manhattan, dodging cars, taking taxis and dropping impressive names in his wake.

CBS Green-lights My Secret Public Journal! We’re big fans of comedian Mike Birbiglia (that’s “Birbigs” to those in the know) and his secret public journal.

He’s got himself a big network show, hopefully he’ll say no to the laugh track and won’t have ancient comedians guest star as his parents… at least until season 4. Here’s the skinny straight from the low-key comic himself:

I have great news. The secret public journal emails you’ve been reading for the last 20-25 years are being made into a comedy pilot (and ideally a series) for CBS!!! Maybe it was the 93 comments you wrote after my last entry or Ted Kennedy’s endorsement, but they’ve decided to let me and my friend Andy Secunda make a show about a guy who does comedy, writes a journal, and kills polar bears for sport (not true).

Listen: Our Interview with Mike from 2007.

Who are the Cylons Again? Chief? What the Frack? Enjoy a very funny and informative 8-minute video recap of seasons 1-3 of Battlestar Galactica. The show can be exhausting (please please please kill Gaius Baltar and his annoying blonde Amazon), but it’s still pretty damn good. Watch now:

Gradual Engagement: Web usability guru Luke Wroblewski stares at web forms and ponders the boring nuts and bolts of the Internet so you don’t have to, and makes the experience better for everyone in the process. I saw him speak over the summer and he made it all sound very interesting. Read why he says, “Sign Up Forms Must Die”. You will most certainly agree.

Happy Birthday: Winslow!
