Mike Verbaglia is pretty hilarious. My wife and I hate going to parties, but we love driving away from parties. But what separates Mike from other very funny people is story. Stories are one of the world's oldest art forms. It's the way we understand
ourselves. I remember the first time I got emotional on stage and I didn't know what to do. Every night I walk on stage, whatever happens tonight is the show. Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast. My guest today is the great Mike Barbiglia.
Mike is a comedian. Which if you've heard of him, then you already know that. I certainly have been a fan of his for a very long time. But what he really is, is a master storyteller. Story is the foundation of everything that Mike does, from performing live on stage to behind the mic on this American life, which is where I first discovered him many years ago.
