Emmy-winning comedian and actor David Cross wields comedy like a precision instrument, expertly dissecting American culture with surgical precision and a wicked sense of humor. His stand-up is intelligent, uncompromising and unforgettable.
While millions know Cross as the delusional Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development or the creator of the legendary Mr. Show with Bob and David, his roots are in the New York stand-up scene of the ’80s, where he honed a comedic voice that refuses to pull his punches. Don’t expect observational humor about the mundane. Cross tackles politics, culture and society’s absurdities with biting satire that influenced a generation of comedians.
What makes a David Cross show unmissable is the fusion of his acting chops with stand-up prowess, creating performance-based scenarios that go beyond traditional joke-telling. Drawing inspiration from icons like Bill Hicks, Andy Kaufman and Lenny Bruce, Cross crafts comedy that’s as thought-provoking as it is hilarious. His trademark sarcasm and wry observations create an atmosphere where no topic is off limits and every punchline lands with purpose.
