Summary
#463 Mr Moustache - In the last of the Edinburgh Fringe podcasts, the generous sponsor of the NextUp comedy award is proud to be joined by US stand up and actor, Mike Birbiglia. They talk about turning ailments into stand up, why Mike sleeps in a cocoon, how his shows have a very UK sensibility, how the stories you least want to tell are often the best, how Mike messed up his big scene with Tom Hanks, how he became Taylor Swift’s son and Rich recommends some kids’ shows at the Fringe and fails to remember the name of Mary King’s Close.
