Like a less disturbing but equally adept Dave Attell, Todd Barry traffics in a barrage of traditionally constructed jokes that reveal a taste for left-of-center punch lines. Delivered in a laid-back, conversational tone that belies his acerbic viewpoint, his set rolls past easily with at least a chuckle at the end of every routine, if not an outright laugh. Super Crazy is Barry's fourth album, and shows that he's an able stand-up; a big draw is simply in watching (or listening) to him work, but you also get the distinct impression that he's as funny offstage as he is on.
Todd Barry Talks Texting, "Crowd Work", and "Breaking Bad"
"I've had stuff thrown at me," comedian Tom Barry says of his live shows. "Now it's just people texting." In this intimate, notably acerbic backstage chat, he talks his early years, his influences (or lack thereof) and (with a little help) what TV shows he'd like to be on. Enjoy.
