Todd Barry | The Inventor of Crowdwork | Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out
On the heels of the release of his new special “Domestic Shorthair,” Todd Barry sits down with Mike this week for a conversation about his 35 years in comedy. The two talk about whether or not Todd invented crowdwork, if Bill Burr was right when he said Mike was “doing” Todd when Mike was first starting out, and why Todd can never do another prom show. Plus, Todd reveals the problem he has with Mike’s cat, Mr. Moustache.

I just wanna hear Spiral.
I first heard of Todd through a David letterman bit where Todd wrote to Dave and Dave read the letter live. unlike today's comedians who have the luxury of appearing on JRE and getting the Bump! it's so easy for hacks to get unjust recognition. When I see comedians on stage and they have to scream and make crazy facial expressions to mask the lack of substance for the act, I am done. Todd is the truest form of what a real Comedian should be. Todd is the GOAT.
When Mike asked Todd what songs made him cry, I thought of an R.E.M. song just before Todd named two other R.E.M. songs. ("The Flowers of Guatemala" from Life's Rich Pageant, BTW.)
Paula Poundstone DID invent crowd work, back in the 1980s.
I like how some modern comics imagine they invented crowd work when Vaughan Meader was destroying in character in 1962. Get over yourself. You ain't half of all that.
“Lightning, ya, y’know, from the sky.”
I love Todd Barry. I got to see him in Chicago a few years back. It was awesome. There's just something about his delivery.
Oh man…. Second Todd Barry interview I’ve seen where his right hand never really stops shaking. Really hope it’s not an essential tremor or Parkinson's.
Mike thanks!!! That's all i want from KZread, Todo Barry talking to a friend of his. He is awesome.
Just remembering Todd's "character" on Louie and how I believed he was really like that.
Heck yes! Happy to see Todd on a podcast with someone his own speed 😂 This publicity run for his new special has had some painfully awkward moments hahaha
Just to let Todd know.... Brian Regan does a whole bit about cutting the line. He does it on one of his specials. Great interview Mike!
This is the best way to start a week. Mike and Todd what a delight
Love Todd. Thanks for having him Mike.
So cool when amazing comics like Mike and Todd recognize my all time favorite, Doug Stanhope, truly the most underrated comic of all time. Great interview...
The great Todd Barry. What an excellent conversation.
I hope Todd comes to Tampa
Fug yeah, Todd Barry, Fables Of The Reconstruction 🙌🏽.
We're always learning.
TODD!!! 🧜🏻♂️
