Todd Barry

it was meh We're sorry, but we have encountered the following issue(s): Your review text is too short.

My 2nd time seeing Todd perform and he did not disappoint. He was funny and on for a good 45 minutes to an hour. The venue was good for a comedian, you could hear good throughout the show. This show was both bits and some "crowd work", which were both funny. The crowd work when he sort of riffs with the audience is sort of his specialty and is my favorite part of his show.

We went to the show as Todd Barry fans expecting to enjoy an evening of his signature humor, we were very disappointed. He read the sparsely filled room completely wrong. He expected folks not to enjoy his style and he forced them to comply. His crowd working was embarrassingly off the mark. When he snapped out of it and dug deep he was enjoyable. Show was only about 80 minutes including a funny opening act. Was not worth the ticket price. In Todd's own words, we experienced his "train wreck.

Todd Barry is so funny the way he doesn't even really come with a memorized script ;he just freestyles it off what he sees in the crowd & makes fun of any oddities that happen during his show that totally gets the fans involved.I'd love to be able to get a seat front stage for the scary rush of maybe getting singled out by the Crowd Work Master & letting him make the audience laugh based on my getting picked on.

Todd was very funny. Although I know he is not everyone's "cup of tea", my wife and I had a great time at this show. We could have done without the openers, unfortunately, as they were basically rehashing material done by others. I watch lots of comedians and remember their material...these guys need to work harder on their acts. Standup is probably one of the hardest things to do, and I never like to see anyone not get laughs...it makes me sad. Todd worked the crowd well to improvise his material and had some great observations and wry witticisms that we all appreciate from comics like Todd. Also like that he stuck around after to greet fans and signs posters. Fun night!

The expert comedic stylings of Todd Barry did not disappoint. The local middler was also a pleasant surprise (though his uncanny resemblance to my wife's former boss did get in the way of her laughing as hard as I), while the opener left us wanting. The Tralf is a nice venue - but steer clear of the food. Though, our lackluster edibles may have been the fault of my spouse. I mean, seriously, who orders the pretzels and beer cheese when you have such wide-ranging choices as honey lime chicken skewers and quesadillas? Lunatics, that's who. $0.35 worth of hard snack pretzels and some garlic-y EZ-Cheese do not beer cheese and pretzels make. But I digress. A thoroughly enjoyable time. Totally worth a 5-hour round trip.

Todd Barry does both great written material and crowd work.

55 minutes of excellent, laid-back comedy. Would absolutley recommend

This show was probably the most disappointing event I have seen in years; if not ever! Todd Barry did 15 minutes of old stuff following 7 other comedians of which only two were mildly humorous. The hostess for the evening was so bad only the empty bar atmosphere kept the heckling down. Bentzen Ball will forever stand for Buyer Beware.

Great show and a great club. Very good wait and bar staff.

This show was a lot of fun. Being in the very specific corner of this city, the crowd was mostly academics who were very nice and willing to laugh, but not great 'crowd work' participants (myself included). He truly is great at this.

Hilarious show with a hilarious comedian. I'd recommend seeing any show of his anywhere.

very good...was disappointed in the turn out for such a talented, funny man!
