Craig Heads Back to LA
After a pair of stand up comedy performances in Atlantic City and the Chicago area, Craig Ferguson is heading back to LA for a week of fresh, new episodes of the Late Late Show. Up next for live appearances are Toronto, Montreal and Boston at the end of July and two shows in Minnesota in September. We’ve heard of no other bookings after the Minnesota shows and it is possible that Craig will be slowing down with live shows for a while. Book early to avoid disappointment on our Live Comedy Tour page.

After Friday night’s performance in Atlantic City, Craig retweeted a fan’s appreciation and thanked the audience:

RT @JP_Mobday: @CraigyFerg Killer show tonight!!! You were hilariously humorous. Thanks for the laughs! :). Thanks. You were a fab crowd.

And from all of the flailing and squeeing we can see on the tweety box, it looks like roboskellies have been having a good time in Chicago as well.

Since leaving for Paris, Rebecca Tucker hasn’t been back to Los Angeles until late Saturday night. Welcome home!

Just For Laughs
Craig’s shows in Toronto and Boston will be his solo show.  But in Montreal, Craig will be hosting two shows featuring comedians from around the world.  The Press-Republican newspaper of Plattsburg, NY has an article about the upcoming Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Thanks to the RSA’s @MissGraoully for sending us the link.  If it looks familiar, this was the story we accidentally posted for a few minutes on Thursday evening.  Please enjoy it in its entirety now.

A Loyal Craig Fan Passes Away
We are sad to report the passing of a Craig Ferguson fan and member of the RSA.  Raymond Murphy, better known from our comments section and to his many fans on the radio in Mobile, Alabama as Charlie Ocean died Wednesday at age 55.  You can read more about him in his complete obituary.  A memorial service was held for him Saturday afternoon.  We extend our sympathies to his family and many friends.
