Mike Birbiglia Friday, December 14th
 Mike Birbiglia is a comedian, writer and actor best known for his award-winning off-Broadway hits Sleepwalk with Me and My Girlfriend's Boyfriend. He will perform in Springfield, MO on Friday, December 14th. Tickets are on sale this Friday, June 8th at 10:00 AM and start at $19.00.
Mike has starred in three Comedy Central Specials, released three hit CDs for Comedy Central Records, Two Drink Mike, Sleepwalk With Me Live, and My Secret Public Journal Live, which was named one of the "Best Comedy Albums of the Decade" by The Onion AV Club. Birbiglia also makes regular appearances on The Bob & Tom Show and on Public Radio International's This American Life.
Mike's literary debut, Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories, was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor.
In Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, Mike shares a lifetime of romantic blunders and miscues that most adults would spend a lifetime trying to forget. On this painfully honest and hysterical journey, Birbiglia struggles to find reason in an area where it may be impossible to find - love.
Winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" was nominated for both the Drama Desk and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. Time Out New York gave the show 4 stars, calling Mike a "seasoned pro" who "balances punch lines and pathos." The New York Times called the show "ridiculously enjoyable" and it was selected as a Critic's Pick by The New York Times, Time Out New York, and New York Magazine.
Now, after receiving critical acclaim in Australia, Canada and London, and completing a successful 15-week run in New York City, Mike Birbiglia performs his hit show across America. Tickets On Sale: Friday, June 8th @ 10:00 AM

About Gillioz Theatre
Operated by the Springfield Landmarks Preservation Trust, the restoration of the Gillioz Theatre was completed in October 2006, eighty years after the original opening. In its early years, the Gillioz was Springfield's premier entertainment venue, hosting a number of movie premiers and vaudeville shows. Both the lobby and auditorium have been restored to their original 1926 condition, which has made it a must-see for tourists traveling the former Route 66. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
With a seating capacity of 1130, 690 on Orchestra level, and 440 in the Balcony, the Gillioz offers Springfield a perfect sized venue for many events. The Gillioz Theatre in conjunction with the Jim D. Morris Building serves a plethora of functions including Broadway productions, theatre, movies, religious gatherings, arts education, dining, rehearsals, school programs, banquets, receptions, concerts, film festivals, weddings, seminars/conventions, and television broadcasts.
