\"\"<\/a>All @CraigyFerg<\/a> has to do is walk on stage to get a standing ovation! Wow! #JFLcraigyferg<\/a><\/p>\r\nThat was the tweet from the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal on Saturday night as Craig Ferguson<\/strong> hosted the first two shows.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig acted as emcee, inviting comedians from around the world to strut their stuff on stage, including Randy Kagan<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 It must have been nice to have Craig open for him for a night! Also appearing in Montreal was the @nerdist Chris Hardwick<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 Craig tweeted about their adventures on Saturday and played around with the “Fatbooth” app to make Chris’ face match the day’s activities:\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Taking @nerdist<\/a> to Beauty’s diner in Montreal. So long skinny nerd ahhahaha! \/\/ It seems @nerdist<\/a> enjoyed his pancakes. #fatbooth<\/a> http:\/\/twitpic.com\/5ydnww<\/a><\/p>\r\nChris tweeted:\r\n

Here is the meal @CraigyFerg<\/a> is trying to fatten me up with #IsHeAWitch<\/a> #Deliciousness<\/a> #LeTitsNow<\/a> http:\/\/t.co\/7I1Ii4O<\/a><\/p>\r\n\"\"<\/a>Craig even sent a nice view of some of the festival area from his vantage point on Saturday afternoon:\r\n

Surprise appearance from @eddieizzard to introduce @CraigyFerg in French! #JFLcraigyferg<\/p>\r\nNext up for Craig is a solo stand up comedy show in Boston before he takes his summer break. We’re not sure who is opening for Craig on Sunday, since Randy Kagan is working in Montreal. We’ll pass along details when we find out.\r\n\r\nToronto Review<\/strong><\/span>\r\nMILD SPOILERS<\/span>:\u00c2\u00a0 The website Canoe.ca<\/a> reviewed Craig’s stand up show in Toronto on Friday night.\u00c2\u00a0 The review contains some spoilers about Craig’s topics in his stand up routine, so if you’re planning to see the show in Boston on Sunday or near Minneapolis in September, you may want to skip it.\r\n\r\nParis Preview Video<\/strong><\/span>\r\n[stextbox id=”custom”]\r\n\r\nCBS has sent out a preview video for Craig’s week of shows in Paris. It contains a few spoilers about locations and guests, as well as a couple of “insider” video clips. If you’d rather wait until next week to be surprised, do not click the arrow.\r\n\r\nSPOILER ALERT!<\/strong><\/span>\r\n[stb id=”custom” caption=”Paris Preview Video”]\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: CBS<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n[\/stb]\r\nSpoilers End Here<\/span>\r\n[\/stextbox]\r\n\r\nEnd of July Holidays<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n
