Comedy nerd alert: Todd Barry coming to Kansas City

Followers of alternative comedy know super-droll comedian Todd Barry as something of an elder statesman: the guy’s been grinding it out underground since back when Dr. Katz was on the air. (Oh, the days.)

Lately, you may have seen him on Bored to Death or Louie. But he’s foremost a comedian — a comedian’s comedian, for sure — and he’s just announced a date at Czar Bar, which should be way more fun than seeing him at a comedy club or the Uptown.
