Todd Barry at Turner Hall Ballroom
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 Louie. And he has released four comedy albums: 2001’s Medium Energy, 2004’s Falling Off The Bone, 2008’s From Heaven, and 2012’s Super Crazy. Tonight’s “Crowd Work” show will feature nothing but Barry riffing and razzing the crowd.
