Todd Barry is one of America’s funniest comedians. After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Florida, he decided to try his hand at comedy. In 1998 he won a U.S. Comedy Arts Festival Jury Award for Stand Up comedy, and was featured as an IT Comedian in Entertainment Weekly‘s IT list. He has made guest appearances on animated shows such as “Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist,” “Tom Goes to the Mayor,” “Home Movies,” and “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” He also appeared in the movies Pootie Tang and Road Trip, and wrote, directed and starred in the short film Burning Saffron. In 2008, he played Wayne in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke. His late-night talk show appearances include “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “Last Call with Carson Daly” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” In 2010, Barry had a recurring role as a fictionalized version of himself in the second season of the live-action Adult Swim series Delocated. He also has a recurring role playing himself in FX’s “Louie.” He’s a staple on the New York comedy scene, and one of the most quietly hilarious comics working today.
