Panhandle Fun in Florida
Craig Ferguson will be taking a week off from taping the Late Late in Los Angeles before returning to the show just in time for Halloween.  The RSA’s @HMSFox was in the audience for Sunday’s show in New Jersey and tells us that Craig said he’s flying to Scotland for a few days.  The crowd north of Philadelphia had a great time (some spoilers) on Saturday, as reported on PhillyBurbs.com.  Thanks to @MissGraoully for spotting the link.  Craig’s next live shows are scheduled for November 18th, 19th and 20th in Tallahassee, Fort Myers and Hollywood, FL near Miami.  Tickets for the first two shows are already on sale and for the Hollywood performance, tickets go on sale Wednesday, October 26th.  Just click the link on our Live Comedy Tour page for more details.  We have not yet heard about any shows Craig is lining up for December 2011 or into 2012 but we’ll pass them along as soon as we know.

The American Way
Congratulations to Craig’s sister Lynn Ferguson, who tweeted on Sunday:

Three years in America today. #howdidthathappen

Praise for Craig
A blogger from Scotsman.com wonders what sort of talk shows Scotland would like to see has nice things to say about Craig. And Sudbury, Ontario’s Sudbury Star highly recommends Craig’s stand up special on DVD.
