Tour Starts Strong Craig Ferguson‘s Hot and Grumpy Tour: Walking the Earth has been playing to sold-out houses up and down the east coast for the past week, with more shows on tap, including stops in Bethlehem, PA; Philadelphia, PA; Foxwoods Resort in Connecticut; and two shows at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, before heading to the west coast for a week. Josh Robert Thompson has been opening for Craig and Secretariat has been dancing across the stage. There have been too many great photos to count, but be sure to follow @CFergTour for behind-the-scenes pictures and video clips. The videos are also posted on the media page of Craig’s website.
