“Mr. Cross’s comedy has become tighter, not only dense with jokes but carefully crafted to sandwich more elaborate arguments with hard punch lines. His delivery has shifted from a loping pace to a precision trot interrupted by sudden strategic pauses… His punch lines jabbed and picked apart… His finest comedic arguments emerge from a muffled rage…”
THE NEW YORK TIMES (BAM, Brooklyn, NY / 3.25.16)

“The comedian is in prime form, hitting new levels of acrid genius… By the end of a smooth hour… the comic came off the stage seeming like the smartest guy in a packed house… The comic’s jokes are both structurally and emotionally complex.”
AUSTIN CHRONICLE (Paramount Theatre, Austin, TX / 4.22.16)
