{"product_id":"book-c72u","title":"Thank You for Coming to Hattiesburg","description":"From the veteran comedian and actor from \u003ci\u003eThe Wrestler\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLouie\u003c\/i\u003e comes a hilarious book of travel essays from his time on tour through secondary markets in the US, Canada, and Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHello. It’s Todd Barry. Yes, the \u003ci\u003emassively\u003c\/i\u003e famous comedian. I have billons 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, Chicago, Cleveland), I also enjoy a good \u003ci\u003esecondary market\u003c\/i\u003e (Rochester, Springfield, Toledo). There’s something great about performing in a place where 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\u003ecomfort zone.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMy 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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). Follow me on my journey of small clubs, and the occasional big amphitheater. Watch me make a promoter clean the dressing room toilet in Connecticut, see me stare at beached turtles in Maui, and see how I react when Lars from Metallica shows up to see me at a rec center in Northern California.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI’d love to tell you more, but I need to go book a flight to Evansville, Indiana.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347312025904,"sku":"BDc72u","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/94357-c72u-Square.jpg?v=1734201068","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-c72u","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
