Second Show in Winnipeg
Because the first show sold out in less than an hour, Craig Ferguson has added a second show at the Pantages Theatre in Winnipeg on October 19th. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, June 19th at 10am CT. As always, you can find the latest information on our Live Comedy Tour page.
McGregor and Welsh on the Tweety
Craig hasn’t called his Twitter followers his ‘skeleton army’ for a while, but he did on Tuesday, urging his minions to follow Scottish actor Ewan McGregor:
Sassy & fragrant Caledonian movie star @mcgregor_ewan is on the twatster. To him my skeleton army! To him I say!
McGregor saw Craig’s tweet and replied:
@CraigyFerg back at you Big Man. Here’s tae us….. Etc etc etc. x.
Craig then urged the hollowed out volcano to follow novelist Irvine Welsh, author of the seminal Scottish tome Trainspotting:
Scottish genius story maker- upper @WelshIrvine also in in twatistan. Follow him if ye dare ye skeleton hoardes. #hesnotwelsh #Isayyenow
Geoff Love
Josh Robert Thompson, voice and puppeteer of Geoff Peterson spotted our story last time about the origins of Geoff. We included a video clip from Grant Imahara demonstrating the capabilities of the first version of the robot skeleton sidekick. Josh corrected us on a detail about how Geoff is controlled and adding the perfect Beavis and Butthead-style joke in the process (at least that’s how we imagine it sounding):
@RSA_News thanks for the Geoff love! (It’s not an iPad, though–it’s a radio control unit. Heh heh. Unit.)
Let Bygones Be Bygones
The other day, Craig responded to a tweet from British comedian Danny Baker who sent a photo taken in the mid 90s. Craig was captain of a team on a short-lived game show called Bygones, in which contestants answered music and popular culture questions from the past. The RSA’s Natalie found a partial clip of the show. It starts part way into the game and the other team takes the first turn. About two minutes in, you’ll see Craig leading his team guessing the music being performed and taking the lead.
