Atlanta Welcomes Back the Ultimate Joker: David Cross Hits the Stage!
Hey Atlanta, get ready for a double dose of laughter, because David Cross is making his grand comeback in our city with his fresh show, The End of the Beginning of the End. Buckle up for an exciting and laughter-packed evening on October 16, 2024. If you’re a David Cross fan, or simply in love with stand-up comedy, this is one show you’ll regret missing!
The Evolution of a Comedy Giant
The roots of Cross’s comedic journey stretch right back here to Atlanta. Hailing from the heart of Roswell, this dynamic comedian cut his teeth in high school, embracing the performance arts scene with all its quirks and glory. Remember Northside High School? That’s where his comedy dreams started taking shape, during his nights filled with the hilarity of Monty Python and the wit of National Lampoon.
Cross’s journey took an upward trajectory when he decided to leap into his first comedy gig at The Punchline on Roswell Road at the mere age of 17. That performance spoke to him like nothing else, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Television Stardom and Beyond
David Cross is not a name tied just to stand-up comedy; his humor has reverberated through our living rooms in multiple formats. From his signature roles in Mr. Show with Bob and David to the cult-favorite Arrested Development, Cross has proven his multifaceted talent time and again. It’s here, whenever we revisit his old shows, we sense something unique – a soul and depth that’s missing from much of today’s TV landscape. No wonder Cross reflects on these projects with pride, emphasizing what made them “so new and risky.”
Cross on The Umbrella Academy Train
Step aside superheroes, David Cross is in town! In a fun twist of fate, Cross found himself joining the talented cast of The Umbrella Academy during its final season as Sy Grossman. While the opportunity was thrilling, Cross admits he didn’t initially have a clue about the show’s allure. A binge-watch weekend later, he became a bona fide fan, dutifully asking his colleagues not to spoil any of the thrilling surprises for him.
Forever a Stand-Up Comedian at Heart
Despite his successful ventures into other media, Cross’s heart remains loyal to stand-up comedy. Describing it as almost a necessity, he says, “I could stop acting, directing, or producing and I’d miss it, but I need to do stand-up.” And while touring the country gets harder with age, nothing else gives him quite the same thrill. With 46 cities lined up, and no signs of slowing down, he’s prepared to continue sharing the comedy we all crave.
Wrapping It All Up
So why not step out for the night and catch David Cross in action, as he delivers his own brand of comedic genius right here in Atlanta? His captivating storytelling and razor-sharp humor are bound to leave us all in stitches. Mark your calendars and prepare for a side-splitting evening with The End of the Beginning of the End like no other!
