Actor and storyteller Mike Birbiglia brings his hugely successful one man show The Old Man & The Pool to the West End’s Wyndham’s Theatre this September 2023.

Chronicling his coming-of-middle-age story, award-winning comedian, storyteller, director, and actor Mike asks the big questions: Why are we here? What’s next? What happens when the items at the doctor’s office that you thought were decorative become functional?

This tale of life, death, and a highly chlorinated YMCA pool resonates with audiences ages 12 to 112, and won rave reviews in the US, playing sold out theatres and hailed by the New York Times as “the best comedy of the year”.

The Old Man & The Pool is a hilarious reminder for all of us recovering from failing bodies and a flailing world that laughter is indeed the best medicine!

The Old Man & the Pool plays the Wyndham’s Theatre in London from 12 September to 7 October 2023.
