Mike Birbiglia’s critically acclaimed Broadway show, The Old Man and the Pool, will premiere globally on Netflix November 21, 2023.
On the heels of sold-out runs on Broadway and in the West End of London, “Broadway’s greatest comic storyteller provides a perfectly constructed 85 minutes” (Deadline).
The show takes on life’s big questions: why are we here? What’s next? Exactly how much chlorine are they putting in the YMCA pool? “The Best Comedy of the Year” (The New York Times) is premiering globally on Netflix on November 21, 2023.
This marks the comedian’s fifth Netflix special.
Directed by Seth Barrish
