Icky

IckyIn his ground breaking first solo show, innocent comedian Todd Barry discusses -- with brutal frankness and wispy vulnerability -- the merciless, unpitying trouncing he suffered in alt.fan.conan-obrien, the Conan O'Brien newsgroup.

This show recently enjoyed a successful run at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It was directed by the UCB's Matt Besser and features a cool instrumental custom recorded by Yo La Tengo.
