Actor and comedian David Cross will embark on his first stand-up tour in six years, starting later this month.

The comedian announced the tour in an appearance on The Daily Show this past Monday, and has posted a full list of tour dates on his Facebook page.

In a statement attached to the performance information, Cross expressed his excitement to be hitting the road again.

“I was very busy writing for The View, but now that the kids are off to college, my wife’s regiment has been transferred to McMurdo Station in the South Pole, and I’m near completion on Fallout 4,” Cross wrote, “It’s time to start up the bus and bring my patented, fart-inducing laugh winces to a town near you.”

The tour will begin January 26 in San Diego, and go virtually nonstop for three more months, zig-zagging across the United States before ending in Oklahoma City on April 24.

For fans of Cross, the string of performances will likely appear as simply a continuation of his fervent work in recent years, with the comedian appearing on a new season of Arrested Development, as well as his own Netflix original series with Bob Odenkirk called W/ Bob and David, along with a myriad of cameos in various comedy TV and film series.

A return to the stage may have been slightly unexpected given Cross’s current work schedule, but doing stand up comedy is a central aspect of his professional history. Known for his intelligent-yet-goofy stage style, Cross began his career doing stand up at the age of 17, and has continued to return to the stage throughout his now long career.

Now 51, the funnyman’s considerable stand-up experience makes his live show one to seek out if he will be coming to a stage near you.

Tickets are currently available on Cross’s website.

David S. Goyer and the Foundation cast on season 2 of the Apple TV+ sci-fi show
Lee Pace stares into the distance while another man looks at him in Foundation.

David S. Goyer told his writers before starting work on season 2 of Foundation that "the training wheels are off." Foundation, the sci-fi drama co-created by Goyer and Josh Friedman that's based on Isaac Asimov's book series, returns to Apple TV+ for its second season on July 14. With so much exposition and worldbuilding in season 1, Goyer, the showrunner on Foundation, and his team were happy to "dive right in and start the story" to begin season 2.

It has been two years since the season 1 finale, but more than a century has passed in the series' timeline. The impending Second Crisis is on the horizon, with the galaxy's fate in the hands of "crucial individuals" that transcend time and space. Foundation stars Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Laura Birn as Demerzel, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn.

Pay up! Netflix begins account sharing crackdown in the U.S.
Netflix account sharing email.

Netflix today announced that it's going to start notifying subscribers in the U.S. who are sharing passwords that it's time to pay up — $8, to be precise. The world's largest streaming service says it's sending emails to "members who are sharing Netflix outside their household" that will detail their options.

Known as "extra member slots," the extra $8 will allow the former freeloaders to watch Netflix on one device at a time, and download content onto a single device at a time for offline viewing. They'll also have their own profile, but cannot create additional profiles. (The profile can be transferred from the main account, also known as the "home account.") And the extra member has to live in the same country as the home account.
