About Todd Barry: Todd Barry is an American stand-up comedian, actor and voice actor.
I like pens. My writing is so amazing there's never a need to erase.
I don't feel I'm even worthy of a normal amount of value.
I guess there seems to be clubs opening up again, which is strange.
I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage.
I mean, I've had bartenders and waiters and waitresses make a comment about a joke of mine, like pointing out some sort of logic error or something that I've never even thought about, and they're right.
I'd rather send out a mass email then hang posters all over the place.
If you see me at a restaurant, blow me a kiss, wave, blow me another kiss, then walk five steps backward.
People don't understand that that's really what it is. They're looking for a magic phone number or something. And to a certain extent, I understand that, because comedy is treated so much as a stepping stone by a lot of people.
There's people that are just in awe of what you do, and then there are people who just think it's garbage. And I think there are people who are just uncomfortable seeing someone have fun with their job.
Well, I have since seen you at Tinkle. It's a comedy show started by David Cross, me and Jon Benjamin. It features a wide variety of acts for all tastes and seasons.
My sister sometimes does a Todd Barry tribute act.
I will not be misquoted!
I liked the koala, wallaby, and I chilled with a kangaroo a bit. There was a wombat that I quite enjoyed also.
And the goal really is to make the audience laugh, to bring them some joy.
I mean, I've always had scattered interests, but I never went on stage to get an agent or anything like that.
You come there and hang out and have a drink before the show and eat, so it's not that brutal. It's only $6.
I loved Australia. I was very successful there.
I got access to a private tour of the zoo. I got to go in a cage with a koala, which I highly recommend.
I don't really know much about pirates, or pirate culture. I'd be a contrarian pirate.
I don't know any astronauts. There are a lot of people who say they want to be comedians.
