How was the rest of the audience reacting?
I've only heard his comedy album "Shut Up You Fucking Baby," but I remember enjoying it.

The audience was laughing. He didn't kill the room but most everyone was laughing. The last comic I saw was Steven Wright (in the same theater) and he lit the room on fire, people could barely breath. And yeah Shut up you fucking baby still makes me laugh.

His standup is the worst I can remember seeing. Caught parts of two different specials The Pride is Back and Bigger and Blackerer and both were just terrible. It was mostly him trying to be controversial or preachy, but with no setups, punchlines, or storytelling or anything resembling real stand up.
There are comedians that go for controversy to get claps or laughs or attention but are funny or at least have their funny moments; there are also preacher comedians that are up there more so as pseudo-philosophers that can be funny (pre-bitter old man Carlin) or at least have their moments (Hicks, not really a fan, but he could preach and tell a story with energy). Cross though was just terrible and it was surprising as he's a very good comedic actor and sketch writer. I can also remember a time when he was on a talk show (maybe Conan) and he stayed on with the second guest being Penn Jillette and Penn just low key ripped on him for about half a minute, seemingly because he thought Cross came off as a bit of a d-bag earlier.
