As part of the college's "design your own major" program, Mirman graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in comedy, with a one-hour routine as his thesis.

Three years later, Mirman released another comedy album, God Is a Twelve-Year-Old Boy with Asperger's, which was recorded in Chicago at the Lakeshore Theatre.
