I am the the type to have a personal experience with a celebrity, but I'm too classy to bring that up.

I basically did comedy there for about a year, and then moved to New York. If I had it to do over again, I would have booked myself on the road for at least a year.

I did end up doing substitute teaching, but there's not a lot of teaching involved in that.

I do not like sports, unless you consider treating all humankind with love and respect a sport.

I don't feel I'm even worthy of a normal amount of value.

I don't know any astronauts. There are a lot of people who say they want to be comedians.

I don't really know much about pirates, or pirate culture. I'd be a contrarian pirate.

I had some friends that tried it down there, and I went to a couple of open mics, and I just kind of got this... this sick urge to try it instead of just watching it.

I had temping jobs also. I liked the flexibility. There was no asking for time off; you just didn't work.

I like pens. My writing is so amazing there's never a need to erase.

I liked the koala, wallaby, and I chilled with a kangaroo a bit. There was a wombat that I quite enjoyed also.

I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.
Todd Barry

I loved Australia. I was very successful there.
Todd Barry

I mean, I guess I realized subconsciously that this is what I should be doing before I realized it, consciously. Verbally, I don't think I had committed to it, even though I was driving everywhere, every night, just trying to get on stage.
Todd Barry

I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage.
