Hello. It’s Todd Barry. Yes, the massively famous comedian. I have billions of fans all over the world, so I do my fair share of touring. While I love doing shows in the big cities (New York, Philadelphia), I also enjoy a good secondary market (Ithaca, Bethlehem). Performing in these smaller places can be great because not all entertainers stop there on tour; they don’t expect to see you. They’re appreciative. They say things like “Thank you for coming to Hattiesburg” as much as they say “Nice show.” And almost every town has their version of a hipster coffee shop, so I can get in my comfort zone.

For his new book Thank You For Coming to Hattiesburg, Todd Barry played shows in “secondary markets” all over the US, Canada and a few in Israel. The result is part travel guide, part tour diary, with a little memoir in there as well, including such anecdotes as: “Watch me make a promoter clean the dressing room toilet in Connecticut, see me stare at beached turtles in Maui, and see how I react when Lars from Metallica shows up to see me at a rec center in Northern California.” The book’s out March 14 via Gallery Books.

Todd will celebrate the book’s release at Brooklyn’s The Bell House on March 16 and along for the ride will be John Hodgman, Joel Kim Booster and more TBA. Tickets for this show go on sale Friday, January 13 at 10 AM. You can also catch Todd do a one-hour set at The Comedy Cellar’s Fat Black Pussycat Lounge on January 18 (make a reservation).
