Mike Birbiglia’s latest one-man show will launch globally on Netflix on Nov. 26 — news that arrives just before a monthlong run of “Mike Birbiglia: The New One” kicks off at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre on Wednesday. “The only game in town for years for comedy specials without commercials was HBO,” Birbiglia said. I’m not edgy, I don’t curse a ton, and I do more of a long-form storytelling thing than stand-up. “The Netflix announcement will remind audiences that this very special performer and performance is available to be seen live only at the Ahmanson,” he said. “And for those who don’t get to see him live, they will be afforded the opportunity to see it on Netflix.”
