Ballyhoo Promotions founder and publicist Kambri Crews caught a con artist pretending to be comedian Todd Barry during a phone call. “He was trying to get us to wire him money so he could get his car out of an impound lot,” says Crews, whose clients include Christian Finnegan, Andres du Bouchet and Comix Comedy Club. “He didn’t even sound remotely like Todd. I put him on hold while we got the real Todd Barry on the phone and confirmed that he was in New York City for a sound check at Town Hall where he’s performing with Flight of the Conchords. Todd doesn’t even have a car!”
