Tickets go on sale Wednesday, June 19th at 10am CT. As always, you can find the latest information on our Live Comedy Tour<\/a> page.\r\n\r\nMcGregor and Welsh on the Tweety<\/strong><\/span>\"05<\/a>\r\nCraig hasn’t called his Twitter followers his ‘skeleton army’ for a while, but he did on Tuesday, urging his minions to follow Scottish actor Ewan McGregor<\/strong>:\r\n

Sassy & fragrant Caledonian movie star @mcgregor_ewan<\/b><\/a> is on the twatster. To him my skeleton army! To him I say!<\/p>\r\nMcGregor saw Craig’s tweet and replied:\r\n

@CraigyFerg<\/b><\/a> back at you Big Man. Here’s tae us….. Etc etc etc. x.<\/p>\r\nCraig then urged the hollowed out volcano to follow novelist Irvine Welsh<\/strong>, author of the seminal Scottish tome Trainspotting<\/em>:

Scottish genius story maker- upper @WelshIrvine<\/b><\/a> also in in twatistan. Follow him if ye dare ye skeleton hoardes. #hesnotwelsh<\/b><\/a> #<\/s>Isayyenow<\/b><\/a><\/p>\r\nGeoff Love<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"06<\/a>Josh Robert Thompson<\/strong>, voice and puppeteer of Geoff Peterson<\/strong> spotted our story last time<\/a> about the origins of Geoff. We included a video clip from Grant Imahara<\/strong> demonstrating the capabilities of the first version of the robot skeleton sidekick. Josh corrected us on a detail about how Geoff is controlled and adding the perfect Beavis and Butthead-style joke in the process (at least that’s how we imagine it sounding):\r\n

@RSA_News<\/b><\/a> thanks for the Geoff love! (It’s not an iPad, though–it’s a radio control unit. Heh heh. Unit.)<\/p>\r\nLet Bygones Be Bygones\"Craig<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nThe other day, Craig responded to a tweet from British comedian Danny Baker<\/strong> who sent a photo taken in the mid 90s. Craig was captain of a team on a short-lived game show called Bygones<\/em>, in which contestants answered music and popular culture questions from the past. The RSA’s Natalie<\/strong> found a partial clip of the show. It starts part way into the game and the other team takes the first turn. About two minutes in, you’ll see Craig leading his team guessing the music being performed and taking the lead.\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: TVajb<\/span>\r\n<\/object>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Craig adds second show in Winnipeg, CF invites us to follow Ewan McGregor and Irvine Welsh, some Geoff love, plus a clip of Craig on ‘Bygones’ in 1994.<\/p>\n
