Todd Barry is truly the comedian of the moment, the “It Boy,” if you will. Along with providing the subject of major, upcoming features at pitchforkmedia.com and Punchline magazine, Todd also recently imparted sage wisdom as guest advice columnist for Dave Eggers’ The Believer". As if that weren’t enough, Todd is slated to hijack the season finale of HBO’s hit comedy Flight of the Conchords, playing the key role of the third Conchord. Todd is part attack-comic and part observational absurdist, his dark view of the world endowing even his most seemingly benign statements with an acerbic aftertaste.
Audiences may remember Todd from his role on HBO’s legendary Larry Sanders Show, where his character sparred passive-aggressively with a young Sarah Silverman. He’s also been on Spin City, Sex & The City, Chapelle’s Show, Lucky Louie and Wonder Showzen, on which he sported a barrel and a terrible wig on the notorious “Horse Apples” episode. He’s done standup on Letterman, Kimmel and Conan (after which he was slammed so mercilessly by a blogger that the experience inspired his one-man show Icky.) Todd is also a prolific voice actor, lending his hilariously withering delivery to episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Freak Show, Squidbillies, Home Movies, Dr. Katz and Tom Goes To The Mayor.
