Club hailed it as "a great listen." Karl has also appeared on The Cooking Channel numerous times as a food expert and commentator.
Greg Barris is an American Comedy Scene Darling accurately described as "the perfect combination of very good looking, hilarious and super-weird” (Paper Magazine). For years, Barris was a staple in New York’s downtown stand-up scene and as creator and host of the popular Brooklyn comedy/music variety show Heart of Darkness where guests included Fred Armisen, Janeane Garofalo, and Andrew WK, to name but a few. In addition to curating and performing every sold out Heart of Darkness live show, Barris’ boundless talent and energy was also showcased in his pop fantasy comedy band the Wigmaker’s Son whose ‘Greatest Tits’ LP is Zappa-meets-Lonely-Island featuring Barris and guitarist/visual artist Dima Drjuchin plus special guest Reggie Watts. After bouncing between NYC and Los Angeles for a time, Barris now calls L.A. home where he can be seen performing around the city.
