Getting Older, Not Always Gracefullynew
Getting older was supposed to be easier than this--more like a wonderful long vacation. But of course, it hasn't been that way. My wife left me just before I turned 70 and I’m still not getting along with it too well a couple of years later. I don’t have enough on Social Security to survive, so I'm still working part time at my old high-stress journalism job. And becoming something of a lonely and grumpy old man in the process.

Cabinet of Wondersnew

From Shrewsbury to Center Stage: Comedian Mike Birbiglianew
The word “comedian” doesn’t quite do Mike Birbiglia justice –- “storyteller” might be the better word. Still, the Shrewsbury native’s brand of spoken word has made him a popular figure in the world of stand-up comedy, one-man shows, film and radio. His new tour, “Thank God for Jokes,” stops at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on Friday, February 14 and Saturday, February 15. Tickets sold so quickly that an additional late show was added to both nights. Worcester Magazine caught up with Birbiglia to talk about storytelling, why a joke doesn’t have to be funny and his fondness for Shrewsbury’s pizzerias.
