Electric Shadow

Blackerer is Better

 

 

David Cross is one of the best comedians working today. He meets all the requirements: says what people think but are too cowardly to say, writes his own material, and keeps things fresh. He's difficult to pidgeonhole, or anything-hole for that matter. He has a strong aversion to organized religion, Republicans, and big business. Many, including David himself, would say that those three are kinda the same thing. They would be correct. Cross' newest standup special, Bigger and Blackerer, is fantastic. It's so fantastic that I won't spoil a single of his jokes, or that would ruin you as a paying customer like prom night ruins teenagers' expectations about true love. Amzon's got the DVD for $13.99, though the album version has content missing here and vice versa.
