In the last year, the comedian has appeared in a new season of "Arrested Development," starred in the "U.K." comedy "Bliss" and snagged role in Steven Spielberg's "The Post" along with roles in "Archer," "Goliath," "Sorry to Bother You" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." But he's still doing stand-up. "It’s kind of at my core," he told The World-Herald. His last time in Nebraska, Cross skewered just about everything imaginable,...

At this point in his career — more than two decades after his first Emmy Award (in 1993, as a writer for “The Ben Stiller Show”) and less than two years after the birth of his first child (a daughter, Marlow Alice Cross) — David Cross has found a comfortable rhythm to his work.

His range is broad, but whatever role he takes, he always plays it "extra," so he's pretty unforgettable.

“First of all, I didn’t plan for this to happen. It just sort of happened. And then it kept on happening… It’s complicated.” —Andrew Marsden (Stephen Mangan), Bliss Not to be confused with the erotic Oxygen series from the aughts, Bliss could be easily renamed Gaslighting: The Series. Created and directed by David Cross (who also wrote or co-wrote every episode but the third), Bliss is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, just like its lead character,...

Cross is best known for his TV work – HBO’s “Mr. Show” and the hall-of-fame sitcom “Arrested Development” — but he’s also a veteran stand-up comedian with a reputation for razor-sharp topical runs and vicious political riffs. The real thrill with Cross, however, is his apparently hardwired ability to combine trenchant observational humor...
