Todd Barry

A stand-up known for a bone-dry, deadpan delivery that made him a favorite of comics rather than a mainstream headliner. He played drums in the indie band The Chant in the 1980s before turning to comedy full time, then built a durable niche through recurring TV roles — the staff writer on The Larry Sanders Show, the "Third Conchord" on Flight of the Conchords, himself on Louie — and a run of well-reviewed specials and albums, including 2016's The Crowd Work Tour.
