We’re Doin’ Fine, Thackerville
The first leg of Craig Ferguson‘s 2012 Live Comedy Tour rolled through Wichita, Kansas on Friday and wraps up Saturday night at the Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. Before leaving Des Moines on Thursday night, Craig stopped for a bite at an Iowa barbecue hot spot:

Just had dinner @ Jethro’s in Des Moines. Spectaular. If you’re in Iowa have some hot meat there. Also some food. #standardjokeformat

Happy Birthday, Ted
January 25th may be Robert Burns‘ birthday but January 26th is Ted Alexandro‘s birthday!  He tweeted on Thursday:

The kind folks at Hoyt Sherman Place (tipped off by @philcottone) gave me the royal birthday treatment! Many thanks!! http://pic.twitter.com/XDt7rlXE

And the backstage treats were just the beginning, because as you can see the photo captured by the RSA’s @bgrhubarb, Craig led the audience in Des Moines in song:

@CraigyFerg just led 1250 people singing happy birthday to me in Des Moines @HoytSherman! Really awesome.

On Friday, Craig tweeted from Kansas:

So far Wichita seems to be a town full of friendly hipsters. Kind of like chilly Austin TX. Once more my preconceived notions are bullshit.

Haunted Hotel
The RSA’s @VincentWaller72 heard that Craig spent the night in a haunted hotel in Omaha Wednesday night and drew his interpretation of the scene:

Cussy But Funny
The Omaha World-Herald reviewed Craig’s Wednesday show, saying he may cuss a lot but he sure is funny. We can’t argue with that.

Behind the Scenes in Paris
Eurokelly @RudyHellio got some great video behind the scenes during Craig’s week in Paris last June and set them to music. He re-posted them for fans to enjoy:
