David Cross - Bigger and Blackerer (2010)


"Bigger and Blackerer: a 2010 album and DVD that stars American stand-up comedian David Cross. The album's title plays on Chris Rock's comedy album, Bigger & Blacker, and the cover plays off of the popular art form of painting on black velvet, such as Velvet Elvis (and is reminiscent of the Ray Charles album "Ray Charles Greatest Hits"). Cross taped and recorded the album during two shows at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston." - Wikipedia

"Only by watching this video will you learn of Cross unique relationship with the deaf community, share his canny insights into the editorial machinations behind the Bible, and marvel at how well a bald, middle-aged white guy can fill out a pair of jeans." - IMDb

"But the strength of the rest of Cross’ material has always outweighed his occasional missteps, and Bigger And Blackerer shows him in fine form—baffled, cynical, and as funny as ever." - A.V. Club

"On his own, and more than ever on Bigger and Blackerer, Cross is a sad clown gone bitter—the alternative to comedy." - Pop Matters
