Josh Robert Thompson did a quick opening set featuring several of his great impressions, along with some great stand-up, then introduced Craig. He was high-energy throughout both shows, and touched on everything from twerking to colonoscopies! I won&#8217;t spoil it, but there are some very funny moments. He and Josh also had some fun audience interaction at the end, and answered my question: what would happen of Morgan freeman met Mick Jagger? The answer was awesome! I highly recommend going to one of the shows on this tour if you can &#8211; you won&#8217;t regret it!<\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsanews.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25602\" alt=\"Josh on Stage Canada 2013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rsanews.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013-150x150.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-on-Stage-Canada-2013.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsanews.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-25603\" alt=\"Josh and Craig Canada 2013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rsanews.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-150x112.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-250x187.jpg 250w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-386x290.jpg 386w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013-193x145.jpg 193w, https:\/\/images.rsanews.com\/2013\/10\/Josh-and-Craig-Canada-2013.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nAlso sent via the tweety over the weekend, were a pair of photos featuring Josh on stage doing his act, and Josh together with Craig.
