David Cross brings comedy tour to town
Comedian David Cross — Emmy Award winner, twotime Grammy Award nominee and Tobias Funke on “Arrested Development” — stops in Walker Theatre Saturday night on his “Oh Come On” tour.
“I am still beyond aroused to continue to get back out on the road to keep bringing my very special, artisanal, smallbatch, hand-crafted, 100 percent organic jokes and jibberings to a venue near you,” Cross stated in a news release.
The “Oh Come On” tour is Cross’ first full tour since his 2016, “Making America Great Again” tour, which traveled throughout North America and Europe. It produced the Netflix special of the same name and a Grammy-nominated CD. Cross has a voice role in the Netflix animated film “Next Gen,” which premiered in September, and had a voice role in summer’s Boots Riley film, “Sorry To Bother You.”
In addition to “Arrested Development,” he can be seen in a recurring role in the second season of the Amazon series “Goliath.”
Cross was part of the ensemble cast alongside Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep in Steven Spielberg’s “The Post.”
His list of TV credits includes three hour-long stand-up specials and Netflix series “With Bob and David” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.”
On the big screen, Cross wrote and directed the independent film “Hits,” which premiered at Sundance and on Netflix. He appeared in independent features “Kill Your Darlings,” alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Michael C. Hall, and the dramedy “It’s a Disaster,” opposite Julia Stiles and America Ferrera.
He has provided voices for several animated films, including “Megamind,” the Kung Fu Panda franchise and “Curious George.”
