After a decade spent in isolation in the Ugandan jungles considering stuff, David Cross has written his first book. Known for assignments on the tiny screen such as for example ‘never-nude’ Tobias Funke on Caught Development as well as the function of ‘David’ in Mr. Display With Bob And David, as well as a hugely successful stand-up regular filled with sharp-tongued rants and rages, Cross provides carved out his place in American comedy. Whether deflating the pomposity of spiritual figures, contacting out the pathetic symbiosis of about I Drink for grounds pseudo-celebrity and its leaching fandom, or merely pushing the control keys from the way-too-easily offended P.C. still left or the caustic, double-standard of the callous (but funnier) right, Cross offers something to say about everyone, including his very own ridiculous self.

Now, for the first time, Combination is weaving his mass media mockery, superstar denunciation, religious commentary and sheer madness into book form, revealing the true tale behind his nearly existential distaste of Jim Belushi (‘The Belush’), disclosing the up-to-now unpublished a few minutes to a gathering of Fox tv network professionals, and supplying up a brutally grotesque run-in with Bill O’Reilly. And as if this wasn’t enough for your laughing pleasure in these stressed times, a number of the items splinter off with additional material being created online in special video and cartoon web content developed exclusively for the book-a traditional first (presumably)!

With a mix of personal essays, satirical fiction posing as truth, advice for rich people, information from America’s least favorite Rabbi and a top-ten list of top-ten lists, I DRINK FOR GROUNDS is as unique as the comedian himself, and can’t be missed.
