Comedian Mike Birbiglia wrote, directed and stars in this sincere and hilarious film, winner of the Audience Award at Sundance, based on his off-Broadway show and bestselling book. It’s also the first movie co-written by Ira Glass and co-produced by This American Life. The story: when an aspiring stand-up fails to express his true feelings about his girlfriend and his stalled career, his anxiety comes out in increasingly funny and dangerous sleepwalking incidents. SLEEPWALK WITH ME features Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Carol Kane (Taxi), James Rebhorn (Meet the Parents), Cristin Milioti (star of Broadway’s Once), plus comedians Marc Maron, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Jesse Klein, Henry Phillips, and David Wain.
