Gulp. The title of comedian David Cross's tour forces one to gird one's loins for a spate of cringe-y parental anecdotes about offspring and their oh-so-wacky ways. Routines about children often induce the same dread as hearing an acquaintance say, “Wanna hear about my fucked-up dream last night?” Uh, hard pass. But one is willing to risk a night of intense eye-rolling when a veteran funnyman such as Cross grips the mic. Don't underestimate the goodwill he's accrued by his acting stints on the sketch comedy series Mr. Show and the sitcom Arrested Development, or from his previous stand-up sets full of caustic left jabs against wrongheaded right-wingers and the cartoon-level evil of corporations and rank hypocrisy of politicians and Bible-thumpers. Cross long has been a master of transmuting incredulity and exasperation over the world's manifold sociopolitical idiocies into pointed humor. On this jaunt, we'll see if the last couple of years of fatherhood have dulled his edges and weakened his puns. Sean Patton opens.  by Dave Segal
