David Cross 11-17-2000 @ The EARL
How the hell did he dot the 'i'? Or not write in cursive, for that matter?
Damn, I love stumbling onto finds like this. Here we have a set by one of my favorite comedians, David Cross, at The EARL here in Atlanta. Um... yes, please!
David Cross is a native of the Atlanta area, and he makes frequent reference to this fact during the show. His stories about how he was treated living in Roswell are hilarious, as is just about every part of this set. He rips on protest singers, idiotic crowd members, the South, and religion with sharp ferocity. Not for the easily offended, but I laughed my ass off listening throughout his act. This is an audience recording, but it sounds just fine. I can't believe this took place at The EARL. Wow.

What a great find Rich! I saw him with Ultra Baby Fat @ the 40 watt a few years ago & he was great!!
My favorite Atlanta refrence is in "Run Ronnie Run" when he wears a Clairmont Lounge shirt. Such an Atlanta in joke!
Thanks for posting this.

I've never seen that! Off to go add it to the Netflix queue. Thanks for the reminder!
Oh, during hte show he mentions he had been in town to film a movie around that time. I think he has to mean Run Ronnie Run.

I love David Cross! Mr. Show w/ Bob and David is awesome, but I think I like him even more as Tobias in Arrested Development. Thanks for this Rich! <3

When David Cross was on Celebrity Poker Showdown, he wore a 688 Club T-Shirt one show.
As for the videos, I have seen him and Jeaneane Garafalo in Superchunk's "Hyper Enough" and he plays a smarmy DJ in the Strokes' "Juicebox"

688 Club? Wow. Must have been an old, old shirt.

Bummer, I read this too late to get the goods...
Cross was spotted at the Flatiron in East Atlanta around Thanksgiving. Unfortunately I was not the one who spotted him.
