As we’re sure you’re aware, the annual Comedy Central Stand-up Showdown is underway. If you’re still not too sure what this event is, each year the network runs a contest wherein people vote online and by text for their favorite comedian’s previously aired Comedy Central special.

And every year, many comedians take to the Internet to campaign for their fans’ votes. In the end, the 20 highest ranked comedians will have their special replayed on Comedy Central during the showdown day. This year, that day is Jan 31. We noticed that for the first time, our friend Todd Barry is actually campaigning a bit. So we asked him if he wanted to address Punchline Magazine readers directly to wrangle up some support. He said ok. Below is the proof.
