Mike Perbiglia is the writer and star of The Old Man in the Pool, which we went to go see last weekend. I'm excited to talk to him about it because a lot of the themes I talk about merge with the parent-child dynamic. Mike: "I talk about death a lot and I talk about having children a lot"
Aging, parenting by mortality and dying alone or kinless: these are just some of the uplifting topics Kara and Nayeema tackle today before our interview with Mike Birbiglia. The comedian and writer is deep in his latest Broadway show, “The Old Man and the Pool,” which doesn’t shy away from such heavy topics either. Birbiglia and Kara discuss mortality, parenthood, their last words and finding comedy in all of life — even the sad bits.
