Craig Owns Ottawa
Craig’s stand up comedy performance in Ottawa Tuesday night was packed with fans, and Wednesday night’s show is sold out as well. It’s easy to see why Craig enjoys performing in Canada, playing to enthusiastic crowds. Tickets are still available for Craig’s tour shows later this week.

TVLand’s Hot In Cleveland has its season premiere on Wednesday night, and once again the cast will perform the opening episode live. Since Craig is on the road in Canada, he will not be part of the live show, but his character will return later in the season.
