A new comedic solo play with Mike Birbiglia at the helm that depicts a coming-of-middle-age story about when life takes a dive - into a highly-chlorinated YMCA pool.
What's The Old Man & The Pool Like?
Mike Birbiglia takes the stage to chronicle his coming-of-middle-age story that 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?
The show maintains that it is "pee in your pants funny, not pee in the pool funny"
Is The Old Man & The Pool Good for Kids?
The show is written for adults and contains references to death and existentialism, beyond the normal capacities of most minors.
