Comedian/actor David Cross is no stranger to venting about what he finds ridiculous about the world we live in and his latest throwdown offers a fresh perspective on the world we inhabit – for better, but mostly worse. “B&B” is sold separately as a CD and DVD set and they differ slightly in content. Obviously the DVD gives you a look at how Mr. Cross plays the Boston audience and his ability to act out certain aspects of his routine visually. This really works on the bit entitled “That One Show About Drugs and Stuff” where he mimics the standard hunched limp of the methadone junkies he sees near his apartment in New York. It’s like he’s been there himself, and to hear him tell it, he has. Cross pointedly takes on the Mormon religion, Scientology, “The Physics of Heaven” and Whole Foods. Much of his humour is drawn directly from his personal experiences and his left-leaning political edge will certainly put off those with other sentiments. Both sets come with a nice foldaway wall sized poster of the album cover depicting Cross on a black velvet painting making the laughs continue right onto yr own personal piece of drywall. The DVD features six bonus tracks and a few hidden bits as well. Cross fans will eat this up and as an intro to this former “Arrested Development” cast members’ standup routine it’s a pretty good starting point for neophytes.
