Comedian Todd Barry will do two performances at ImprovBoston on Jan. 22, the comedy club said Wednesday. Instead of doing his usual pre-written jokes, Barry will be riffing and bantering with the audience in what heโ€™s calling his Crowd Work Tour.

โ€œWe are thrilled to have Todd Barry back at ImprovBoston,โ€ said Zach Ward, the clubโ€™s managing director, calling the tour in โ€œthe spirit of improvisation and everything we do at the theater.โ€

Barry, a New York comedian, is recognizable for roles on television and in movies as well as from frequent appearances doing stand-up live and on late-night television. He has had roles on โ€œLouieโ€ and โ€œFlight of the Conchords,โ€ among others, and had smaller roles in โ€œRoad Tripโ€ and โ€œPootie Tangโ€ before appearing in the Oscar-winning โ€œThe Wrestlerโ€ in 2008.

His shows are scheduled for 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Jan. 22. Tickets are $15.ย ImprovBoston is located at 40 Prospect St., Central Square.
