Perhaps best known in the comedy community for his role as the bongo-playing "Third Conchord" on HBO's cult favorite, Flight of the Conchords, Barry has established himself as one of the freshest new voices in comedy. He recently teamed up with Louis C.K. for his new standup special, Todd Barry: The Crowd Work Tour, which will be available on C.K.'s website in March 2014. The special follows Barry's 2013 tour, during which he performed hour-long shows solely relying on crowd work.

Boasting many stand-up appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and two Comedy Central Presents specials, Barry's resume also includes such hit shows as Louie, Delocated, Bored to Death, Chappelle's Show, Sex and the City and even Sesame Street. His feature film highlights include "Road Trip," "Pootie Tang," and "Los Enchiladas," and an appearance opposite Mickey Rooney in the Oscar-winning film, "The Wrestler."

Barry is no stranger to the standup stage, performing at top comedy clubs all over the world. Internationally he has performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival, the Vancouver International Comedy Festival, and Kilkenny, Ireland's Cat Laughs Festival. His decidedly low-key stage persona belies a deeply intelligent, often biting, and occasionally absurdist worldview that piles on punch line after punch line, making him a favorite of the comedy elite.
