Mike Birbiglia’s story about his worst sleepwalking mishap — he once crashed through a second-floor window at a La Quinta Inn in Walla Walla, Wash. — is a good one. So good that he basically built his burgeoning comedy fame on the foundation of that one crazy tale.

First “Sleepwalk With Me” was a theater piece. Then it was featured on “This American Life.” Then he wrote a best-selling book with that title. All good.
