Named one of the Top 100 Stand-Up Comedians of All Time by Comedy Central, comedian/actor/writer David Cross began performing stand-up comedy when he was only 17. By the 1990s, he emerged as a comedian to be reckoned with.

Now, he’s just announced his first stand-up tour in five years. Cross will launch the Making America Great Again! tour on Jan. 26 at Observatory North Park in San Diego. He’ll perform on Wednesday, Feb. 17, at the Masonic Auditorium.

“I am extremely excited to get back out on the road after five long years away,” says Cross in a press release. “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, it’s time to start up the bus and bring my patented, fart-inducing laugh winces to a town near you. See you soon!”   

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday at Ticketfly.com and at davidcrosstour2016.com.
