Todd Barry is coming to the Lakeshore Theater on April 19 at 7:30. Tickets are $20.

You may have seen him recently as the "unwanted bongo player" on Flight of the Conchords. Barry explained how he got that gig in a recent Onion interview:

"I know those guys—I met them in 2004, I think, when I did a festival in Australia. We sort of crossed paths a number of times in different festivals, and when they came to New York and when I went to L.A. We just became friends. I auditioned for another role a while ago. I didn't get that, or they cut that part out, or whatever. Then they said, 'We have something better for you,' and they wrote this thing. I said, 'Wow, that's a pretty big part.' A pretty big, annoying part."
