Needed a good laugh and got several

Okay - I've had a lot of death in my life this month (happy holidays) - and when The Old Man and The Pool popped up, I figured I had absolutely nothing to lose.

I have not laughed and smiled so much in ages! His description of talking to professionals is the way that I wish I could do it! (So I sent them all messages to watch this Netflix special.)

Birbiglia's routine is absolutely clean!! My vocabulary is not, but I certainly enjoyed being able to recommend his Lincoln Center (LINCOLN FRICKING CENTER!) show to friends and family who prefer the scatological language be at a minimum. And there was none - that I heard.

This is a great hour of humor and comedy if you need to just escape from the real world for a while and join him in his.

It's a fun ride.
