Todd Barry: The Final Crowd Work Tour @ The High Watt – 4/6/2014

Todd Barry at The High Watt - 4/6/2014

For far too many stand-up comedians, crowd work is a crutch to lean against when you don’t have material. For far too many audience members, crowd work means a fear that a stand-up comedian will make fun of you.

But it’s something special when Todd Barry does it.

You’ll find out just how special when Todd Barry: The Crowd Work Tour comes out in March. Barry revealed the release date a few days ago, noting that Lance Bangs directed it, and it’ll cost $5. We learned last night that Louis C.K. financed Barry’s special and will release it exclusively online via C.K.’s website at buy.louisck.net.

Barry also talked about his new special in an interview on “The Goddamn Dave Hill Show” on WFMU. “In September I did a Crowd Work tour where I just interacted with the crowd. No jokes. No material. Just kinda walked up there and started… talking to people. You’ve seen comics do crowd work,” Barry told Hill. “I filmed this tour. It was seven cities. Lance Bangs, who you may know, has directed a lot of cool stuff… we had a whole film crew, and we filmed seven shows, starting in San Diego, going up to Anchorage, Alaska.”
