David Cross

David Cross is known for a lot of things: Mr. Show, Freak Show, Arrested Development, and calling out Larry The Cable Guy, among others. But throughout his career, between acting and writing gigs, he has always returned to stand-up. (Even after his cash-in role in Alvin And The Chipmunks, which certainly says something about his love for the stage.) Cross’ leftist, politically charged humor has earned him comparisons to Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce; he shares with them a similar wit and a head-shaking frustration at right-wing values. It’s been years since his last comedy album, 2004’s It’s Not Funny—though he just released a book called I Drink For A Reason—so expect heaps of new material here.
