Personal Life
Birbiglia lives with his wife, Jen Stein, on New York's Upper West Side.
Birbiglia has rapid eye movement behavior disorder, which once caused him to run out of a second-story window of a motel he was staying in Walla Walla, Washington, while on tour. As a result of the accident, Birbiglia received 33 stitches in his leg.
Because of his condition, Birbiglia's physician stated that while he travels, Mr. Birbiglia should never stay on any floor greater than the ground level for fear of accidental suicide by way of leaping out of a window.

“In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
