The great @jimgaffigan just dropped an incredible new special called “Dark Pale” on @primevideo and we had an awesome chat on “working it out” about standup comedy, Jim touring with Seinfeld, and songs that make us both cry. Video on youtube. Audio wherever you get your podcast. This one is epic.

Get yourself a friend who leaves you long encouraging messages in a terrible Scottish accent.
Big news, friends! you are always the first to know when I’m announcing shows on my tour. This one is particularly cool for me. I’m going back to Walla Walla for the first time in almost 20 years. Something happened to me there. Long story. Anyway, there’s a gorgeous little theater called the @powerhousetheatre and I cold-called them and I said, “Let’s do a show!” and they said, “Sure!” On that leg of the tour I’m also playing in Seattle, Portland, and (yes, I hear you, Canada) Vancouver!!!! Pre-sale starts now and the code is PANCAKE. This is ALL NEW MATERIAL and it’s been a blast so far in Philadelphia, Madison, DC and more. Poster art by one of my favorite designers Adam Jeffers. See you out in the Pac Northwest, friends. 🗻❤️ Pacific Northwest
Friends! Great news for Christmas! (I know it’s July.) Right now is the pre-sale for my 4 shows in Boston which I’m calling “Christmas Parmesan.” The code is, of course, “Parm”. The show will be a new hour of jokes and stories at @the_wilbur theater and one of them is about Christmas. That’s all you need to know. It’ll be a blast. Get the tickets at birbigs.com. Tell your friends. Enjoy. Merry Christmas Parmesan. Wilbur Theater
I’m suing Vulture.
Keep in mind story is from 20 years ago! Today on the podcast we have the brilliant @TomPapa who I was lucky enough to have an early as an early comedy mentor. In this episode of working it out (link on bio) we discuss our falling out and then how we repaired our friendship along the way. It’s actually really sweet and funny and lovely and Tom’s new book “We’re all in this together” is so damn funny and good and WISE. I couldn’t recommend it more highly as well as his other books and @netflixisajoke specials. Enjoy. ❤️

Highlight of my 2023 was going on “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” and brainstorming coffee-less coffee pods with Conan, Sona, and Matt.

Monday morning in Brooklyn with @bejohnce. Coming soon to Working It Out. Photo by @monique.carboni.
Friends! I just flew back from Scotland with @jhopestein and our daughter Oona. People have told me for years, “You should go to the Edinburgh Fringe. It’s unlike anything in the world.” And I didn’t. For years. But like all great advice I didn’t take it for 20 years. Regardless, I’ll relay it to you. You should try to go. I saw @rosematafeo and David O’Doherty and @juliamasli and many others. The festival is famous for its works in progress and Julia Masli’s show “ha ha ha ha ha ha ha” was a work in progress that was wildly experimental and hilarious and impossible to describe without spoilers and went from being a work in progress to a…work. In real time. To the point where they were selling out every show at midnight and they wanted to add shows but the only available slot was at 1:30am and THEY STILL SOLD OUT. And Jenny and I got to see it and we loved it. It’s…try to see it. The reason I bring this up is that her show was the ultimate inspirational story of “make the thing you want to see and risk failing and every once in a while it works.” She was working it out and while she was working it out the audience told her it was done. My journey with Fringe Fest has had its own mini arc. People told me to come to the fest in 2008 and I didn’t. The festival honestly felt daunting. 3,000 shows. Every performer seemed to go some version of broke. Then I made 4 more solo shows in America and finally this year I made the trip. I’m a comedian who has a podcast about works in progress and I finally made it to the *work in progress* festival. I, of course, am a work in progress. My life. My career. The whole thing. It felt right. I head to London this week. It’s the 30 performance finale. Before my week in Edinburgh I hadn’t performed the show since January. Part of me was done with it. But between the shows I saw in Edinburgh and the European audiences seeing this show that I have written and re-written over 4 years experiencing it with fresh eyes it made me want to perform it a thousand more times. Because every performance itself is a work in progress. So you don’t really know what’s going to happen. I hope to see you there. Please tag a British person below. ❤️ London, England U.K.
This week on “Working It Out” is @kateberlant. I love her comedy special “Cinnamon In The Wind” so much. I also love her solo show “Kate” which is directed by @boburnham and will be to be London at the same time as “The Old Man And The Pool.” Enjoy the episode! (Full video version available on YouTube) And visit us in London for high tea!
