Tickets Selling QuicklyWhen Canadians hear that Craig Ferguson will be touring the Great White North, they don’t waste time. Tickets for Craig’s October 19th show in Winnipeg sold out in less than an hour, reports the Winnipeg Free Press. And the October 22nd show in Edmonton is sold out as well. There’s no word on whether a second show might be added in either city but we’ll keep an eye out for it and let you know. Craig’s show in Calgary is nearly sold out, and tickets are selling well at every other Canadian tour stop. Book early to avoid disappointment!
Craig Tweets
Craig responded to a pair of tweets Friday. One came from a confused fan:
The other came from British comedian and radio host Danny Baker, who sent out a photo of Craig taken in 1994, on the set of a short-lived BBC game show called Bygones. Baker hosted. Rick Wakeman, an English musician best know as the keyboardist for the band Yes, was captain of one three-person team and Craig was captain of the other.
The game centered around nostalgia, hence the “Bygones†name. Over the course of four rounds, the teams would make guesses about old products, film clips, songs and celebrities. The reason the head of 1940?s bandleader Ted Heath is in the photo is because in one round of the game, the teams were shown waxwork heads of celebrities from the past and earned points if they guessed their identity correctly. The game show ran for just a single series of five episodes in the spring of 1994.
Craig’s reaction centered on his haircut in the photo:
Our thanks to to UKGameShows.com for details about the show.
Daffy Dook
Right before Christmas last year, Craig and Geoff Peterson exchanged yule logs and cracked each other up over the famous German cartoon character, “Daffy Dook.”
