Fans of This American Life and The Moth can tell you: Mike Birbiglia's not strictly a standup comedian. There are usually a few extra veins of artful tragedy mixed in. Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories, adapted from his one-man show, wittily recounts his battles with cancer, adult-onset somnambulance and everyday religious letdowns. Presumably, we'll get the unadapted version when he gesticulates wildly all over the Keswick stage tonight. It will feel a lot like a comedy show. But it's art!
