Craig in Canada
Craig Ferguson performed a live stand up comedy show at Massey Hall in Toronto on Friday evening and will be hosting two shows featuring comedians from around the world at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal on Saturday before returning to Boston for a solo show on Sunday.  We’re asking roboskellies in the audience at this weekend’s shows to send us your pictures and stories to share with the RSA.  (Unfortunately, no photography was allowed during the show in Toronto.)  After this weekend, Craig has only two more live shows on the schedule for 2011.  You can reach us from our Contact page or tweet us @RSA_News.

Craig enjoyed Toronto (thanks to the RSA’s @pezzylicious for a photo of the stage) and tweeted after his show:

Well Toronto you were fabulous. You left me panting and hungry for more. I feel so guilty leaving you for Montreal. #itsnotyouitsme.

And Craig’s opening act for the Toronto show, comedian Mark Forward tweeted:

Thank you to @CraigyFerg. Honestly so kind, had so much fun. And watched him rip it up. Thanks again for the opportunity.

Fun on Today
Craig had fun on NBC’s Today Show Friday morning.  He appeared in the show’s fourth hour, talking about the upcoming Paris episodes of the Late Late Show and telling a wonderful story about meeting his wife Megan for the first time at an event in New York.

DVR Alert:  Craig will appear on the CBS daytime show The Talk on Monday, August 1st.  Check local listings for the time “in your region”.  Since he will be on his summer break, we’re guessing this was a pre-taped segment.

Montreal Looking Forward to Craig
The Montreal Gazette has a long and detailed interview with Craig, leading up to his appearances on stage Saturday night.  Thanks to the RSA’s @MissGraoully for the link.

Boston Contest!
The Wilbur Theatre offered a pair of tickets to Craig’s show in Boston on Sunday.  To enter the contest, you must have posted a puppet lip-syncing video to the theater’s Facebook page by 1pm ET on Saturday. The contest is now closed.

Dragon on HBO, Sharks on Discovery
The animated film How To Train Your Dragon, featuring the voice talents of Craig Ferguson has been available on demand from HBO but will be broadcast on the full HBO network on Sunday, July 31st.  Check local listings for the time “in your region”.  Thanks to the RSA’s @NancyInTampa for the heads up.  And don’t forget, you can see Craig’s episode of Shark Week from last year on the Discovery Channel Sunday, July 31st at 11am ET and Monday, August 1st at 6pm ET.
