David Cross Brings Stand-Up to Traverse City November 5

Comedian David Cross is scheduled to perform at City Opera House in downtown Traverse City on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 7 p.m.

 

The venue's announcement lists four standard ticket tiers, making seat selection an important part of planning this near-term evening out.

 

Readers considering the show should check current availability directly rather than assuming every advertised price still has seats.

 

A familiar television name on stage

 

Cross is known for playing Tobias Fünke on Arrested Development and for co-creating and starring in Mr. Show with Bob and David, according to the venue's biography.

 

The listing also notes his writing work on The Ben Stiller Show and a stand-up career extending more than four decades.

 

For someone whose reference point is a television character, the useful distinction is that this booking is a stand-up performance by Cross rather than a presentation of one of those programs.

 

His official website offers material from his comedy specials for readers who want to get a sense of his work before deciding.

 

Watching a sample can help with that choice, but it does not establish which material he will perform in Traverse City.

 

Compare seats and final prices

 

City Opera House lists standard tiers at $98, $68, $45 and $30, plus a $20 student price for ages 18 and younger.

 

Use the official ticketing page to confirm seats, eligibility and the complete purchase total.

 

A published student price does not by itself answer questions about content suitability, so families should contact the box office if that affects their decision.

 

If buying for a group, compare adjacent seats and the final total before everyone makes separate purchases.

 

The event page reviewed does not publish a full running time, so ask the venue before arranging a tightly timed pickup or a later reservation.

 

Find the Front Street entrance

 

The theater is at 106 East Front Street, with its entrance on the south side of the street between Union and Cass, according to its parking and directions page.

 

That page links to city parking information and names the Larry C. Hardy and Old Town garages as options.

 

Choose parking with enough time to walk to the entrance, locate your seats and resolve any ticket question before the 7 p.m. start.

 

Check current signs and city information for parking conditions rather than assuming an evening show changes enforcement.

 

Contact the venue about access

 

City Opera House's visitor FAQ lists elevator access, accessible seating and assisted-listening devices, with advance coordination needed for some arrangements.

 

Its published phone number is 231-941-8082, which is also the appropriate place to ask about the best entrance for your visit.

 

Keep your confirmation accessible and agree on a meeting point if friends are arriving independently.

 

If adding dinner, reserve that separately and leave a comfortable interval before showtime rather than counting on an unverified doors-open time.

 

For anyone deciding at the last minute, call the box office before driving downtown if the ticket page is unclear about availability, and avoid relying on a saved screenshot of a seat map from an earlier day.

 

For a group, designate one person to keep the booking details available.

 

Recheck the event and ticketing pages before traveling so your plans reflect the latest venue information for Thursday's performance.
