The next confirmed date on his stand up calendar is New York City in the fall but there are sure to be more stops in between.\u00c2\u00a0 As soon as we hear details, we’ll be sure to post all of the information here, so you can be among the first to get tickets.\u00c2\u00a0 When he got to Thackerville, Craig sent a picture from in front of\u00c2\u00a0 a “facade” as Craig’s driver last year called it (the casino’s elaborate exterior walls designed to look like architectural attractions from around the world), using what was surely a familiar landmark after his years of living in and around London:\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Also tweeting from the theater Saturday was the RSA’s @kstene<\/strong> who got some nice seats.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve heard of several robot skeletons attending Saturday’s show and we hope to be able to share some of their stories with you.\r\n
\r\n
A Great Time in Wichita<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nAmong the many people enjoying the sold-out show in Wichita, Kansas on Friday night was the RSA’s @patsyterrell<\/strong> who did a great write up about the show in her blog<\/a>, along with some fun pictures from the stage.\r\n\r\nHipster Haven<\/strong><\/span>\r\nAfter seeing Craig’s tweet that Wichita, Kansas has hipster cred like Austin, Texas, the RSA’s @VincentWaller72<\/strong> imagined the scene:\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\nChicken Car<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"\"<\/a>For those who have been following Craig since he first got on the Tweety, you may remember at one point he tweeted a photo of a car designed to look like a big yellow chicken.\u00c2\u00a0 (Yeah, we saved it… we’re weird like that.)\u00c2\u00a0 The RSA’s sharp-eyed @ForeverKith<\/strong> noticed something interesting in a recent McDonald’s commercial for its new menu item, Chicken McBites.\u00c2\u00a0 Watch closely toward the end:\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: McDonaldsUS<\/span>\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\nLate January Birthdays<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nSaturday, January 28th marks the birthdays of actor John Banner<\/a> (Sgt. Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes), artist Jackson Pollock<\/a> and actor Alan Alda<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Sunday, January 29th is the birthday of President William McKinley<\/a>, actor Tom Selleck<\/a> and the one and only Oprah Winfrey<\/a>.\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks<\/strong><\/span>\r\n[stextbox id=”custom” bgcolor=DBF7D8]Our thanks to the many Craig Ferguson fans who have contributed stories, photos, tweets and tips this week. When Craig is on tour “in your region,” everything you share helps thousands of Craig’s fans get a taste of what it’s like to see Craig in person.
