Todd Barry (born March 26, 1964) is an American stand-up comedian and actor[1] best known for his "bone-dry" and extremely sarcastic deadpan delivery.[2][3] He grew up in Florida but lives in New York city where he was born. During the mid 1980s, Barry played drums with the indie rock band The Chant. His first Comedy Central special "Super Crazy" was aired in 1999 and since then he has released several other comedy albums, including his 2016 critically acclaimed and fan favourite "The Crowd Work Tour".
Barry has appeared in numerous films and television roles, most notably in The Larry Sanders Show (as the staff writer Keith), Flight of the Conchords (as the "Third Conchord"), and Louie (as himself).
He made 16 appearances on Dr. Katz—in the first two, as himself; then as the recurring character of Todd, a video store clerk, in most of its final season episodes. He also played a character in the television pilot Saddle Rash along with Sarah Silverman, H. Jon Benjamin and Mitch Hedberg. In "The Third Conchord", the twelfth and final episode of the first season of Flight of the Conchords, Barry played Todd, a bongo-playing megalomaniac,[7] who tries to introduce the song "Doggy Bounce" to the Conchords' repertoire, and a new band name: The Crazy Dogggz.[8]
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, where he played a frequent associate of the Russian mafia characters, casually playing card games with them in their club. He had a recurring role as himself in Louis C.K.'s FX's series Louie.[2]
