Homeward Bound After wrapping up his west coast tour before a sold-out crowd at the Snoqualmie Casino near Seattle, Craig Ferguson headed back to Los Angeles. He’ll enjoy a Sunday off and then be back in the studio on Monday for a string of all-new shows. Your next opportunity to see Craig performing comedy live on stage will be in September, when he’ll be appearing for three nights at the Venetian hotel and resort in Las Vegas. Then, he’ll be in the northeast in October for a week’s worth of shows in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. You can find details about all of Craig’s upcoming shows on our Live Comedy Tour page.
