David Cross - SOLD OUTMission Creek Festival

David Cross is an actor, writer, and stand-up comedian. During his illustrious career, Cross has played recurring roles on the TV programs Arrested Development and The Colbert Report, and won an Emmy Award for his contributions to The Ben Stiller Show. He has also starred in such films as Waiting for Guffman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Bob Dylan fantasy I'm Not There (in which he portrayed Allen Ginsberg), and Kung Fu Panda. As a teenager, Cross was a state champion swimmer.

Cross has released albums and DVDs on Sub Pop Records, including It's Not Funny (2004), Shut Up, You Fucking Baby! (2002), and the 2003 DVD tour documentary Let America Laugh. The first album was actually nominated for a Grammy Award, although the voters ultimately decided it was not the Best Spoken Word Album for Children after all. Cross was also the first comedian signed to Sub Pop, paving the way for Eugene Mirman, Patton Oswalt, Flight of the Conchords, and dozens of other hopeful comics in flannel shirts and ripped jeans. In that respect at least, David Cross should be regarded as a pillar of his community-wherever he may be.
