David Cross

David Cross emerged as one of the most caustic, cutting and intelligent voices in comedy during the post-9/11-two-wars-terrible-president early 2000s. He'd already made a name for himself with his standup, Mr. Show, The Ben Stiller Show and blueing himself on Arrested Development, but his unique political slant came through clearest and strongest on his specials Shut Up, You F*cking Baby! (2002) and It's Not Funny (2004). Though 2018 has plenty of bananacakes insanity to compete with 2003, Cross has calmed down a bit these days, while remaining whip-smart and sharp. He's as good as he's ever been; don't miss his "Oh Come On" tour landing in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Library Music Hall.
