Let America Laugh is a 2003

stand-up comedian David Cross's tour of small alternative rock
clubs. While it does feature small portions of Cross's stand-up routines, it consists mostly of interactions between David and the people accompanying him on tour.

Each segment on the DVD has a title taken from a Bible tract by

Jack T. Chick (Is There Another Christ?, Gomez Is Coming, This Was Your Life). The DVD has several easter eggs
. While on the special features menu, after idling, the disc will play phone messages. The viewer can also press up from 'Pilar Tells a Story' or down from 'Main Menu' to make Cross's glasses black, and click on for a secret feature.

Legal case

In October 2005, Cross was sued by

Sub-Pop, WEA Corporation, and the Alternative Distribution Alliance. In June, the four companies together offered Weber an 'offer of judgement' of $30,000. Weber then attempted to force each of the four companies to pay $30,000 and in the end received nothing. The case was dismissed on July 25, 2006.[1]
