Thank You for Coming to Hattiesburg: One Comedian’s Tour of Not-Quite-the-Biggest Cities in the World Audiobook (Free)

“With this charming, sardonic debut, stand up comedian and actor Todd Barry makes visitors giggle as hard as the audiences at his shows” (Publishers Weekly) in this hilarious publication of travel essays from his time on tour in the US, Canada, and Israel.

Hello. It’s Todd Barry. Yes, the massively famous comedian. I have billions of enthusiasts all over the world, so I do my fair share of touring. While I love doing displays in the big cities (NY, Philadelphia), I also like a good secondary market ( about MANY THANKS for Coming to Hattiesburg: One Comedian’s Tour of Not-Quite-the-Biggest Towns in the World Ithaca, Bethlehem). Performing in these smaller sized places can be great because not all entertainers prevent there on tour; they don’t expect to find you. They’re appreciative. They state things like “Many thanks for coming to Hattiesburg” as much as they say “Nice show.” And nearly every city has their edition of the hipster coffee shop, so I can get in my safe place.

My original program was to reserve one secondary marketplace show in all fifty says, in about a yr, but that idea was funnier than anything in my own act. So, rather than all fifty states in a calendar year, my agent booked multiple displays in a whole lot of states, plus Israel and Canada.

Thank You for Arriving at Hattiesburg is part tour diary, component travel information, and part memoir (Yes, memoir. Similar to the factor presidents and former child stars get to write). Adhere to me on my journey of small night clubs, and the casual big amphitheater. View me make a promoter clean the dressing area toilet in Connecticut, find me stare at beached turtles in Maui, and see how I react when Lars from Metallica turns up to see me at a rec middle in North California.

I’d love to tell you even more, but I have to go book a airline flight to Evansville, Indiana.
