I’m being auctioned off & Atlantic City!
Dear friends,
The Moth, which you may know as a non-profit storytelling series, podcast, and public radio program, is auctioning me off. They say you can’t put a price on a life. But mine costs $210. (presently)
I want to thank everyone for coming to my tour. I had the time of my life. I hope you did too. More tour dates coming soon. As well as more journal entries.
All my love-
Mike Birbiglia
P.S. I’m playing Atlantic City on Saturday, December 12th. There are a few tickets left. That’s a fun joint, that Borgata. In addition to seeing my show, you can hire a prostitute or lose a thousand dollars at 5 card stud.

i’d like to make a comment on my own blog: i am kidding about the prostitute. do not do that, and certainly not because of my aforementioned joke.

NOW you tell me.

When a comedian has to say he’s kidding on his own website there is a problem with his audience. Of course you were kidding.

What’s wrong with the hiring of a prostitute?
I think you are confused.
It’s the KILLING of them that some people frown upon.
You know.

Right move Birbigs… just a shame some people can’t a joke

Wait, so you’re not a prostitute that we’re bidding on? I’m so confused…
November 17th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
More tour dates?!
Hopefully LA or San Diego. And hopefully I can actually get there.
But you made me curious as to what the email from a fan was about now.. haha
Now you’re up to $570. I still say you’re worth more.

You’re up to $620 now. I wish I could bid on you, but even $210 was too expensive for a poor college student. Oh, those 60 awkward minutes would have been amazing!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
tell me about it, the things i would do to you if i had more than $20…

This prostitue business is takin over the comments… I think we should be more worried about the gamblin… cause its actually legal. haha

Holy crap!!! I’m the guy that gets to have lunch with you Mike. My wife gave you to me as a birthday present. I had no idea how much she spent on you. She must like me alot. No pressure or anything, right? It’s only my birthday. It only sets the tone for the next year of my life. Can’t wait to see you on Friday!!!
Oh, and to everyone who’s not having lunch with Mike. Thanks for bidding, it’s a great cause. Also, Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah…I’m having lunch with Birbigs and you’re not!!!!
