[ATTENDED: April 3, 2016] David Cross
I have enjoyed David Cross since the old days of Mr. Show, and the as Tobias on Arrested Development and even in Alvin and the, well, actually I’m just happy for him that he got a lot of money for it.
When he released his previous stand up album, Bigger and Blackerer, Sarah and I listened to it in the car on a long trip and we had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard.
So when I heard he was touring I thought it would be fun to see him live. And, yes, it was.
But we ran into a few bumps along the way. We had to leave very late because our babysitter had car trouble. She arrived just late enough that we weren’t sure if it was worth still driving the hour to Philly. We decided if traffic was terrible we would just stop somewhere and have dinner instead. I even called the Theatre to see if there was an opening act (nope) and if the show really started at 7:30 and not 8 (yup, he would start at exactly 7:30). Traffic was light and the GPS said we’d get to the garage at 7:35. I missed the turn for the alley that our garage was on, and then we got slightly lost on the walk from garage to theater and as we got there at 7:40… there were still a whole bunch of people milling about in the lobby. And then they flashed the lights telling us to get to our seats. We missed nothing!
And we even got to tsk at people who arrived later than us. Cross even joked that he would wait to start his joke because “it’s not fucking distracting or anything” when people are being seated. I was frankly shocked that people seemed to still be arriving around 8PM! (more…)
I Just Read About That...
