Listener Reviews

This podcast is gold for comedy nerds. It is such an enjoyable listen; I laugh and learn each episode. It’s fascinating to hear comedians work on their craft. My only complaint is that I wish the episodes were longer. I’d give this 10 stars if I could. Great podcast!

Great mix of comedy nerding and great talks between talented people... lovely!

All “Clueless” quotes aside, this is by far my favorite podcast out in the world of podcasting. I love hearing comics work out their new material, and I love the thoughtful and funny conversations Mike Birbiglia has with his guests. Hearing the exchange of ideas is like being a fly on the wall in the green room. Plus! If you watch any of his livestream shows you can hear how the material he brings to his guests has continued to evolve. It’s such a great time, especially now since we’re all confined to our homes and going to a Thursday show at a comedy club isn’t exactly in the cards for most of us.

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts of all time. Listening to Mike and his guests work out material in from of me (and my ears) has been an amazing behind the scenes experience. This is a great podcasts for all artists, no matter the medium.

Has it been tested? Yes. But not scientifically and not by any doctors or labs but like I’m sure it could if we tried really hard.Laughter is the best medicine, no?Thank you to wonderful humans who have kept me laughing during these “times”.

What a fantastic, intentional, loving, joy inducing way to listen to rough material in a tough time.

Thank God for this show! It’s quickly become my new favorite listen. I learn, I laugh, I think, I relate, repeat. I know the whole thing is supposed to feel incomplete/unfinished but I wouldn’t change a thing. I wish more storytellers/comedians would share their creative process so freely as Birbigs. He makes it sound easy and accessible while clearly demonstrating he’s the best at what he does. 0 regrets from listening. My friends are annoyed at how much I bring up this show.

Clever, fun, thoughtful. Great guests, and the sound quality is on point thanks to the pillow fort.

this is such a good podcast for such good causes

Mike Birbiglia invented jokes and I think we should all thank him by listening to his podcast.

Phenomenal podcast— honest, heartfelt, and entertaining, with all the biting wit and levity you would expect from Mike Birbiglia. I look forward to it every week. Thanks for creating this gem, keep it up!

These shows are a lesson wrapped in a confessional tied up in a therapy session dressed like a casual date. I’m grateful for the chance to listen to these folks share ideas while I walk my dog. There’s a whole lot worse stuff I could spend my time on. Top five pandemic podcasts for percolating my brain juices⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This has quickly become my favorite podcast. surpassing “you made it weird” with Pete Holmes mostly due to the skilled editing and conciseness. If any of my enemies are reading this review, please check out this podcast.

Love this podcast. I’ve never had the opportunity to learn about how comedy comes to life, so this is a wonderful mix of entertainment and creative process. Each of the guests bring something different and special. Mike is the good natured anchor to it all. Makes you laugh and invites you to think.

Do I deserve compensation for the hazard cry laughing while driving poses? Yes. Will I settle for Mike Birbiglia continuing to create great bits with fantastic guests? Absolutely. Working It Out is one of my favorite podcasts and I’m sure it’ll be yours as well.
