First Image from Bob and David’s Machu Picchu Documentary Confirms Their Epic Trek

In 2024, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, the comedy duo behind Mr. Show, announced a reunion project far more ambitious than their 2015 special With Bob And David. This time, they traveled to Peru to hike the four-day journey to Machu Picchu. While both comedians had discussed the trek—including Cross’s mention of it during his 2024 comedy special The End Of The Beginning Of The End—fans had only their word to rely on until now.

That changes with the release of the first image from their documentary, Bob And David Climb Machu Picchu, posted by the Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary captures the comedy legends and their camera crew navigating the Peruvian trails, offering a rare look at their adventure.

What to Expect from the Documentary

Let’s be clear: anticipation for this documentary will likely be fueled by Mr. Show fans making jokes about the duo’s high-altitude escapade. Personal favorites include references to The Story Of Everest, though the documentary’s blend of humor and introspection promises more than just parody. The film is described as a “high-altitude, coca-fueled meditation on friendship, mortality, and profoundly absurd comedy.”

Even without the trek, a documentary of Odenkirk and Cross simply shooting the breeze about their lives and careers would be compelling. Adding the backdrop of their Machu Picchu hike elevates it into must-watch material.

Release and Distribution Plans

As of now, Bob And David Climb Machu Picchu has not secured wider distribution beyond its Tribeca Film Festival premiere on June 6. Fans hoping to see the documentary outside the festival will need to wait for further updates, though organizers are expected to share news post-premiere.
