Update: New Tour Dates Added

Craig Ferguson has announced 22 new tour dates across the US and Canada through the end of 2013, bringing his total of upcoming shows to 31. Tickets for a pair of shows in Coquitlam, BC go on sale this week. The rest of the ticket on-sale dates have not yet been announced but we will update our Live Comedy Tour page as soon as links are available.

Why We Need Craig
The RSA’s Jo has written a great blog post on her website, making the case that Craig should be on television in the UK, not just the U.S., Canada and Australia. We couldn’t agree more. She’ll have to lobby the BBC or ITV to make it happen!


Craig Tweets
Perhaps Jo’s article touched off a flurry of tweets from Craig on Monday evening, where he responded to calls from fans to “explain himself,” which he did masterfully:

“@CraigGilliver: @CraigyFerg in Australia The Late, Late Show is on BEFORE The Late Show – Explain yourself.” Coriolis Effect.

“@ErenAka51: @CraigyFerg the show isn’t on in England! Explain yourself.” I’m shunned for my spectacular teeth?#actuallyIdontknowwhy

“@stabattenmet: @CraigyFerg: You’re on at Exactly the same time in Canada as in the US! Explain yourself.” I’m a time lord. #2hearts

“@ASRosas3: @CraigyFerg I haven’t been to your show and I live in LA . Explain yourself !” Traffic on the 405

“@ElevationGrace: @CraigyFerg In Orlando TLLS airs 30 minutes later than anywhere else. Explain yourself.” Gives seniors time to prepare.

“@Bradycummings2: @CraigyFerg @ASRosas3 craig what is going on!?!?!” Climate change.

“@mazziemo: @CraigyFerg your show is not on in Scottlanda and your Scottish! Ecplain yourself!” Racism

“@_WolfSpirit: @CraigyFerg If youre a time lord what’s your time lord name? (ie Doctor,Master, Rani ext)” Sparkles.

“@Big_M: @CraigyFerg In Mexico we do not watch your show in spanish, explain yourself señor” Si. Me gusto la playa

“@Megan_08: @CraigyFerg I’m a lesbian but I have a huge crush on you. EXPLAIN YOURSELF” you lack commitment.

“@mdjaxon: @CraigyFerg Craig, you claim to be anti establishment, but respond to all demands to “explain yourself”…EXPLAIN YOURSELF!” No.

That last one really says it all. That’s how you can have fun on Twitter!

Cunningham’s New Novel
Craig’s mother-in-law Linda Cunningham is a romance novelist, and the new cover for her upcoming novel has just been revealed. Keeping the Peace will be the third installment of her “Small Town Girl” series. Thanks to the RSA’s @bgrhubarb for the link!

Bad Oysters
Craig recalls the time he had a romantic date undone by a bad oyster.
