Mike Birbiglia & Actors of "Don't Think Twice" Surprise Audience After Show

Last night at Landmark theater in LA, Mike Birbiglia, the writer/dir/star of the film "Don't Think Twice" delighted audience members with a surprise Q&A moderated by comedian Andy Richter (Conan's past co-host.)  Also on the panel were the 3 female leads in the film.  Gillian Jacobs, who played Keegan-Michael Key's love interest was present but mute (Dr.'s imposed resting of her vocal cords.)  Jacobs had a yellow legal pad with the word YES she would hold up.  The spontaneous & serendipitous vocal interaction doubled the pleasure of the movie going experience.  Mainly motivated to help promote the film, Mike & Andy were a winsome twosome who overshadowing the women.  Nonetheless, there was a candid camaraderie amongst the comics that shed light into the stardom of the   entertainment world.  As Richter rightly put it "There's a hard lump of rejection I carry around inside."  Birbiglia was more philosophical admitting to the "Life isn't fair" modus operandi of celebrity.  There are many talented performers who don't get their fair share of notoriety.  And,"having worked with assholes in the past" - he has a non-asshole policy for working on projects.  "If it's not fun - what's the sense of doing it."  The movie "Don't Think Twice" was an enjoyable comedic romp.  The post-show pop-up panel made the evening thrice as nice.
