It's Todd Barry. Yes, the \u003ci\u003emassively\u003c\/i\u003e famous comedian. I have billions of fans all over the world, so I do my fair share of touring. While I love doing shows in the big cities (New York, Philadelphia), I also enjoy a good \u003ci\u003esecondary market \u003c\/i\u003e(Ithaca, Bethlehem). Performing in these smaller places can be great because not all entertainers stop there on tour; they don't expect to see you. They're appreciative. They say things like \"Thank you for coming to Hattiesburg\" as much as they say \"Nice show.\" And almost every town has their version of a hipster coffee shop, so I can get in my\u003ci\u003e comfort zone.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e My original plan was to book one secondary market show in all fifty states, in about a year, but that idea was funnier than anything in my act. So, instead of all fifty states in a year, my agent booked multiple shows in \u003ci\u003ea lot of\u003c\/i\u003e states, plus Israel and Canada. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThank You for Coming to Hattiesburg \u003c\/i\u003eis part tour diary, part travel guide, and part memoir (Yes, \u003ci\u003ememoir. \u003c\/i\u003eJust like the thing presidents and former child stars get to write).
