Comedian Mike Birbiglia is shifting from Broadway stages to streaming as his latest show, Mike Birbiglia: The New One, will become a Netflix comedy special. The writer and director of Don’t Think Twice secretly filmed the special at the Cort Theatre in Manhattan last year. The show has been kept under wraps content-wise, as well, but The New One is said to stay true to Birbiglia’s observational and confessional comedy style as he struggles to decide whether to bring a child into the world (spoiler alert: he did). The special is directed by Seth Barrish.
