A 34 year old daughter of
three, Julian Kross was born in Southern Germany in 1941. A sorted childhood
began when he was forced to escape Nazi territory by accepting a job in Nascar.
When in the early 60’s it became clear he was not cut out for a career built
around the mindless following of ignorance and lies he quickly jumped into a
life of politics.
The social turmoil of this
decade combined with the 1920’s issues with prohibition ended his political
career just before he was to receive county wide recognition. Forced to choose
a new line of work, Kross made it clear his goal was to be in the public
spotlight by writing unpublished short stories under the pen name Harriet
Tubman.
Through his research during the
sexual revolution of the 1950’s he met and married his soulmate, twice. With
the support of his second wife Julian was able to find the courage to overcome the
adversity caused by the civil rights movement of the 1980’s. With the end of
the Vaudevillian era, it became clear his only chance at a future in the
entertainment industry was in talky pictures and radio. It was that realization
that finally sent Julian Kross on a clear path to become a lawn maintenance
engineer or a stand up comedian.
If that’s not the information
you were looking for, then here are a few more specifics. In 2002 Julian Kross
became a regular performer at Todd Yohn’s Funny Bone Comedy Club in High Point,
NC. It was at this club where he developed a style that has been called
forceful, unrelenting, and polite charming. It was also at the Funny
Bone where the beginnings of the production group How to Kill Your Dog was formed.
In 2003, Julian started touring
the country opening for acts such as Ron
White, Dave Attell, and Colin Quinn. He has since
appeared at Carolines on Broadway, The Laugh Factory, The Stardome, The
Comedy Zone(s), and countless others.

one of the founding members of How to Kill Your Dog providing
voices and material for it’s many projects.
Julian Kross is currently on tour promoting the upcoming release
of his debut album The Donkey Show.
