It’s always fun to see Montana show up in unexpected places, and this is a pretty unique example involving a couple of big names in comedy. 

Montana in the Spotlight: A Comedy Connection

Comedian David Cross, who recently spent time performing in Missoula, is teaming up with Bob Odenkirk for a new film that’s already getting some attention. The project is called “Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu,” and it follows the two as they take on a trek to the famous Machu Picchu in Peru.

The film is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, which runs June 3 through June 14, 2026, bringing even more eyes to the project. 

Missoula's Moment: A Hat with Meaning

But what really stands out, especially for folks in Montana, is a small detail in the promotional image. In the photo, David Cross is wearing a hat that clearly reads “Missoula, Montana.” It’s a simple souvenir, but one that puts a spotlight on Western Montana in a cool way. 

It’s not unusual to see celebrities wearing Montana gear, but it never really gets old. There’s something about seeing a place like Missoula represented on a global stage that feels a little special.
