Media
“Ridiculously enjoyable!” – The New York Times
★★★★ “ It’s not just a show about love, it’s also a lovely show, which makes the oldest topics seem new again... Birbiglia takes them beyond cliché by virtue of plain emotional honesty, or by approaching them from unlikely angles... A show for anyone who has ever tried – and failed – to marry love and reason.” – The Guardian
“Ridiculously enjoyable... The theme here is [Birbiglia’s] sad-sack love life, going all the way back to girls with braces but ultimately pointing toward a future that, you suspect, won’t be so bad.” – The New York Times
“My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend captivates with Birbiglia’s perpetually put-upon storytelling voice, something of a cross between a personified This American Life and a classic, Bob Newhart-style account of romantic peril.” – Vulture
