“Piercing, blinding, slaying, violating wit.” That’s how someone on NPR described the comedy of the otherwise soft-spoken, self-deprecating stand-up comic Todd Barry, a late-show regular whose long resume includes a stint on HBO’s Flight of The Conchords and a role with Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. Barry slays and violates at One Longfellow Square (181 State St., Portland) at 8 p.m. Tix: $18-$25. 761-1751. onelongfellowsquare.com.
