As we thought more about scientific allegations that today, January 24, would be a terribly dreary day for the soul, we remembered a cure: That Gothamist's former objet de stalking and now friend, Todd Barry, had a new comedy album, Falling off the Bone. Now, we're hardly partial, as we've been fans of Todd's wry observations of life for a long time, but who doesn't love a bit about watermelon yarmulke? Or how good the new Wilco album is? Plus, he makes fun of blogs, and you know you can't have too much of that. So whether you're depressed today or happy tomorrow, we highly recommend a little Todd Barry for your listening and funny bone pleasure.
You can buy Falling Off The Bone here at Comedy Central's shop or at Amazon, where you can hear some clips. And Gawker Stalkers say he's easy on the eyes. Todd can be seen at Fez tomorrow night (part of Stella) and at the Gotham Comedy Club on Friday and Saturday.




scottish woman: Todd, are you gaaaaaaay?
todd barry: No, what makes you think that I'm gay?
scottish woman: your timing!
todd barry: my timing? i guess in between my jokes there's time for me to fall in love with a man....
(that last line isn't verbatim but you get the idea)
I had no idea todd was opening for STELLA. I just saw him open for STELLA at the Onion Holiday party back in December. I took a picture of him and he asked if I was going to put it on my blog. (I didn't but they can be found here.
Actually, I've seen him a lot lately. And he's funny everytime.
I am a sucker for his bit about Stephen Jenkins from Third Eye Blind. I use it all the time.
Todd is the funniest man in NYC. Hands down.
And lest we forget, Todd rose to internet superstardom when he got in a fight with people in alt.fan.conan-obrien, then promptly wrote a one man show about it. Truly amazing.
Jewforever.
I really don't understand what the big deal is about Todd Barry. He's somewhat funny, but he's not that funny.
You're saying Todd isn't that funny? No wonder they call you "Captain Obvious."
Malaysia: the gayest country in Asia. :-D
