Actor, quirky raconteur and stand-up comic David Cross, who crossed the 60-year mark this past spring, joked on his comedy special earlier this year “The Worst Daddy in the World” about being an older dad surrounded by insufferable younger hipster fathers in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.

But the “Arrested Development” alum is enjoying his time raising his 7-year-old daughter, Marlow, with his actor wife, Amber Tamblyn.

“I’m physically fit,” Cross said. “I’m able to do everything I need to do with her. I’m not like, ‘Slow down! Daddy’s knees!’ Every age represents its own achievements and delights. I’m loving that she’s very slowly starting to get into sports. She’s getting into baseball cards. It’s heartwarming for me.”

Cross is on a 50-city stand-up comedy tour. The new show, he said, “for no concerted reason,” won’t be as heavy on religion and politics as past ones. It does have an eclectic mix of storytelling, dry observational humor and social commentary.

“He’s no different onstage than he is offstage,” said his sister Wendy Cross, who lives in Atlanta. “He is unapologetic in his opinions.”

She said her brother works hard to be a present dad for Marlow in response to the fact his father abandoned them when they were children.

“He is hyper aware what not to do,” Wendy said.

Cross said Marlow is now at an age where she understands that he makes a living cracking jokes so she herself has begun following in his footsteps.

“She is starting to appreciate being funny, which is kind of nice,” he said. “She wrote a bunch of jokes in the car while we were driving upstate. We were at a restaurant, and she walked over to strangers and told jokes. It was cool.”

Cross said he was not nearly as extroverted as his daughter is when he was her age.

“We moved around a lot,” he said. “I was always the new kid. I didn’t like growing up in Roswell (Georgia). I was picked on a lot. There was a lot of dumb antisemitism and racism I had to deal with.”

When Cross comes to town now, he stays with his sister. When Cross told Marlow he was going on tour in Europe next year and wanted to take her to see London for the first time during spring break, Marlow demurred and said she’d rather stay with her aunt Wendy.

His sister said Cross hates surprises, but she gave him a surprise 60th birthday party anyway in Brooklyn in April with 150 of his family and friends. His drama teacher flew in, along with many of the cast of his HBO sketch comedy show “Mr. Show,” such as Bob Odenkirk and Brian Posehn, along with buddies Fred Armisen and Janeane Garafolo. H. Jon Benjamin hired an opera singer to croon “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”

“It took about seven seconds for him to go from completely pissed to, ‘Oh my God! This is the story of my life!’ ” she said.
