A comedy for anyone who’s ever had a dream. And then jumped out a window.
“I’m going to tell you a story, and it’s true… I always have to tell people that.” So asserts comedian-turned-playwright-turned-filmmaker Mike Birbiglia at the outset of his autobiographically inspired, fictional feature debut.
A struggling stand-up, Matt is worried that everyone in his life thinks the best thing about him is his girlfriend, Abby. When his sister announces she’s getting married, Matt’s comfortable relationship is kicked into overdrive, and soon he finds himself struggling with the stress of a stalled career and Abby’s expectations. To make matters worse, the wild spurts of severe sleepwalking have become too extreme to ignore…
Produced by This American Life host Ira Glass, Sleepwalk With Me is led by Mike Birbiglia and an all star cast including Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Carol Kane (Taxi) and James Rebhorn (Meet the Parents).
