Dragon Success
The DreamWorks animated feature film How To Train Your Dragon 2, featuring the voice of Craig Ferguson as Gobber, was released for home video viewing just a short time ago, but it has already broken sales records, including being the top HD Digital release for 20th Century Fox of all time, reports Variety.

New Jersey Nights
Craig wrapped up the fall swing of his Hot and Grumpy Tour in New Jersey on Saturday night. He got nice coverage in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as part of a nine-city tour with Josh Robert Thompson and Secretariat before big crowds every night. As usual, @pnzr242 captured an image of the sound check, this time on the state in Montclair. Thanks to him for sending excellent photos throughout the tour.

And the fans were out in force in New Jersey on Saturday night, tweeting and Instagramming images from the show. @jmikeee tweeted about the theater marquee, while @nauticalstar got several nice shots during the show, including one of Josh and one of a man in the crowd getting a selfie with Craig.

   And @nauticalstar also captured the four stages of the “smell your own finger” awkward pause, and Craig’s many faces of Craig on stage, plus a smile for crowd, thanks for Josh and Secretariat, and taking a bow.

    Other fun photos from the show were posted by @Wirtphoto @lyckerby and @ah92us.

 

One Craig fan named Kevin attended the show near Pittsburgh on Friday. He told us:

[stextbox id=”custom”]Craig’s show in Pittsburgh was great. Warm, responsive crowd- he did an extra 20 minutes and took questions from the audience at the end. A young lady asked him “of everything you’ve written, what’s your favorite?” and he immediately responded “my resignation letter to CBS!”

Josh was in fine form doing the 20 minute opening, voicing Geoff, Morgan Freeman, Robert DeNiro, Liam Neeson and Ahnuld and the show kicked off with the Secretariat dance, with Craig joining in. His set included some material he’d previously done, but, being Craig, with new twists and embellishments. He was engaged and energetic- so much so, the guy with the follow spot had trouble keeping up with him.[/stextbox]

Our thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb, @cozyhobo and many other skellies for sending tips and links to images, media coverage and personal stories throughout the tour. And it’s not too late to share your photos or stories. If you had a great time seeing Craig live and in person, send us your story using our Contact Us form, and we’d be happy to share it with the rest of the robot skeleton army.
