Simmering in Sin City
Craig Ferguson is enjoying a three-day run at the Venetian in Las Vegas, performing his live stand up comedy show at the casino resort’s main showroom.  The voice of Geoff Peterson, Josh Robert Thompson is opening for Craig all weekend.   The largest newspaper in town, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, put together a great interview with Craig.

Skellies in the House

Several robot skeletons, Late Late Show fans and assorted hobos were in the audience on Thursday night for the first of Craig’s three shows, including the RSA’s @sarieswick, who blogged about her experience.

Also in the crowd was the RSA’s @lockofire who sent us this account:

[stextbox id=”custom”]The show opened with Josh Thompson doing his best voices, including Robert Downey, Jr., Robert de Niro and of course Morgan Freeman.  Josh read some of 50 Shades of Grey which got the crowd rolling with laughter.

Then out came Craig with his usual flair of sexiness.  Wearing jeans and a blazer, Craig moved around the stage, delivering his act which he has refined  since I last saw him in Portland 5 months ago.  He made it fresh by doing some ad-libbing and talking with a few intoxicated VIPs.

Sitting in the front row I could see his twinkling blue eyes and the confidence in his walk.

Seeing Craig in Vegas was definitely worth the trip and perhaps it’s time for me to see him tape a live show in LA![/stextbox]

Baby Rhino
The Philadelphia Zoo has a new arrival this week:  A baby rhinoceros, born on Thursday.  The RSA’s @hoborobot suggests that they name it Sandra.
