Mike BirbigliaHow many people do you know who have thrown up on the Scrambler or a carnival ride? A lot of people, is the answer.
Mike BirbigliaI think if anything, the fact that it's popular right now makes me go: "Well, I guess I'm going to start doing something else then in the next few years." I dunno, it almost feels hackneyed at this point. To start a premise by saying, "I did this awkward thing." But then again, awkwardness and feeling alienated are always going to be a part of comedy. Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.
