Weekend on the Road Craig Ferguson traveled to the Midwest over the weekend for a pair of stand up comedy appearances, with Josh Robert Thompson leading off. Craig’s road manager Phil Cottone tweeted a quick Vine video of Craig and Josh enjoying themselves after stops in Iowa and Minnesota: craigyferg joshrthompson #Hot&Grumpy Tour See you next time Davenport http://instagram.com/p/fZDl00JXWV/ Thanks to the RSA’s @bec_giddy for capturing a still photo of the video. Meanwhile, the RSA’s Dave and his wife saw Craig’s show in Minnesota on Friday night and sent us their story:

My wife and I saw Craig at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake Minnesota Friday night.Josh opened with a new act from the last time we saw him a year ago and was great. Quite a bit of Mogran Freeman and he killed at the end doing De Niro. Craig’s act was completely new also and we thought it was the best we’ve seen him do. We were in the front row and he was locked into my wife’s eyes on a really nasty joke (I won’t give it away). He did a great long bit on Mick Jaeger and the Stones. Craig was really into the crowd and did his best to offend nearly everyone (including the Indian tribe that owns the casino). We had a great time and again it shows how brilliant Craig is. Developing new material isn’t easy and he nailed the entire hour he was on stage.

Thanks for letting us share your experience with the rest of the robot skeleton army! If you are attending one or more of Craig’s shows this fall, please share your stories with us. Just use our Contact Us form. Text and still photos are always welcome! Kelowna Keeper
