Sold out: Group Therapy presents David Cross at Gorilla

When we received the press release for this very special Group Therapy show it was one line long and simply read ‘The headline act for our August show is David Cross’. It tempted us to write pretty much exactly the same thing as, if you know of David Cross’ work, you would probably already be on your way to grab as many tickets as you’re allowed. Yep, Tobias fucking Fünke is coming to Manchester – and tickets are very reasonably priced for one of America’s greatest ever comedians. Though his stand-up is more akin to his work on Todd Margaret or the seminal sketch TV programme Mr Show with Bob and David (the Bob was Odenkirk of Breaking Bad fame) than his classic character from Arrested Development, he is one of the most unique comics you will ever see. So make sure you get the chance.

Sat 1 Aug, Gorilla, 54-56 Whitworth Street West, M1 5WW, 7pm, £18/£16, www.seetickets.com
