From July 2006 – January 2007, Birdsong performed in the Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me comedy musical, alongside funnyman Martin Short, Marc Shaiman, MADtv's Nicole Parker, Brooks Ashmanskas, and Capathia Jenkins. The show is now closed, but the cast album is available through Ghostlight Records (www.sh-k-boom.com).
