Earlier this year, when David Cross announced that he would be returning to perform in Burlington, he appeared to take a shot at Mayor Miro Weinberger. "Well, Burlington, you asked for it, you got it," he wrote on Facebook. "Despite Miro Weinberger doing his best to keep me out, I'm coming."
The post went viral-ish, at least in Queen City circles, shared many times by bewildered fans puzzled by the actor-comedian's apparent rift with the city's Democratic mayor. Had the outspoken Cross run afoul of city officials when he visited in 2016? Had he made some damning remark about the Burlington Telecom fiasco?

Ahead of his performance on Wednesday, June 20, at the Flynn MainStage, Seven Days spoke with Cross on these and other topics, including a past beef with Larry the Cable Guy, the fate of net neutrality, and his new TV series, "Bliss" — a comedy featuring a bigamist who struggles to juggle two families.
