3 Random Questions w/ Todd Barry

Todd Barry is pretty busy these days. He's currently working several dates with Louie CK and Todd's new dvd From Heaven goes on sale 3/14. Todd will be making his way back into town this week with two shows at the Arlington Drafthouse. (Friday, February 29th and Saturday March 1st)


We sat down with Todd recently (and by sitting down with we mean we emailed him) and asked him a few random questions ranging from choice of Thai food to googling.

[Hit the jump for the Big 3]


1. What's your go to meal of choice at Thai restaurants?
Usually some sort of chicken or tofu with basil, or cashews, Pad Thai. And I always get a side of crushed red pepper. Because I'm a real man.

2. When you're not on the road you are always doing shows in New York. Do you ever take extended breaks or do you feel like some other comedians do that you have to constantly be performing stand up or risk "losing it" so to speak?
I definitely feel rusty if I haven't performed for a while, but an occasional short break helps me get excited about going back on stage.


3. Have you googled yourself and what was the weirdest thing that popped up that was associated with your name?
I did a whole one-man show about what happened when I googled myself. I found a critique of an appearance on Conan. The woman's husband made a whole website about the ordeal: www.westey.org/jza.

Todd Barry is annoying, what's this, 3 cd's in 5 years? He's really setting the bar high for those lazy comics that keep doing the same hour for years and years. Todd's just showing off.
