On his second album, IT'S NOT FUNNY, actor/comedian David Cross (veteran of cult classics MR.

Full DescriptionLee Greenwood with his acerbic satire. This sharply honed attack exemplifies a man with a quick wit who has become royalty in the kingdom of cutting-edge comedy.
Cross is not explicitly a political comedian; however, as with the late Bill Hicks, his humor derives from wandering monologues that pick apart the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of society. Cross's every path just naturally strolls back to politics, and usually to the Bush Administration and the Iraq War. He's not a fan of either, to say the least, but while his attacks are pointed and fierce, the self-effacing, hyper-confident performer never falls into the trap of sacrificing comedy for rhetoric. With its relentlessly scathing humor, IT'S NOT FUNNY is nothing less than what Cross's devoted fans would expect.
Uncut (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Taking up the baton so tragically laid down by Bill Hicks in the early '90s, comedian David Cross also echoes some of the late Sam Kinison's heavy metal comedic riffery..."
Magnet (p.97) - "His conversational delivery on IT'S NOT FUNNY is perfect for concealing sharp sarcasm, and he has a knack for making obvious punching bags hilarious."
