HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Todd Barry

The subdued style and dry speaking voice of Todd Barry belie the almost obsessive tinkering he puts into everything he does. Barry is known to much of the world as Todd, the bongo-playing third wheel from Flight Of The Conchords (and as Mickey Rourke’s asshole boss in The Wrestler), but he’s best when holding a room on his own, armed with nothing more than some slyly sarcastic barbs and the force of momentum to control. He has made guest appearances on everything from Wonder Showzen to Aqua Teen Hunger Force to Lucky Louie. And he has released three comedy albums: 2001’s Medium Energy, 2004’s Falling Off The Bone and 2008’s From Heaven. Also, he was in Pootie Tang. Yeah, that’s right, Pootie Tang.
