Standup comedian Mike Birbiglia knew he had to get help for his sleepwalking disorder when he jumped from a window and starting running on his motel lawn at 3:00 am, all while asleep. His monologue about his life with the disorder is "Sleepwalk With Me," now at the Bleecker Street Theatre (45 Bleecker St., NYC).

He definitely was about to make me pee my pants. Hilarious!
He's told the story at the Moth (you can find it at the Moth podcast on iTunes)
I swear I've heard this interview before. Is this a rebroadcast or has Mike told his stories on another program?
OMG I'm crying this is so hilarious!!!
Leonard, how can you conduct this interview with a straight face (or straight voice)?!?!?!
