Then after a short break for some television tapings in Los Angeles, he’ll be back on the east coast and Midwest to round out the month. Are you seeing Craig live and in person? Please share your stories and non-flash photos with us! We’d be delighted to pass them along to the rest of the robot skeleton army. Just use our Contact Us<\/a> form, or a tweet us a link to your blog. Please, no video, no Snaps and no Vines allowed at the shows.\r\n\r\nCraig has been doing a bunch of radio, television and newspaper interviews about the tour (as well as promoting his television shows), including a backstage interview at Hofstra University<\/a>, the Troy Record<\/a> newspaper, a great interview with Northeast Public Radio<\/a>, a Westhampton online news site<\/a>, a fun visit with the Bill and Suzy<\/a> radio show near Troy, and silive.com<\/a> on Staten Island, plus exclaim.ca<\/a> and the Ottawa Citizen<\/a> previewed his visit. Thanks to many skellies for links to stories about Craig this week and to @bgrhubarb<\/strong>, who notes that Troy Walker<\/strong>, Chris Voth<\/strong>, Phil Palisoul<\/strong> and Sam Adams<\/strong> opened for Craig in Denver, and Mark Forward<\/strong> is up front through at least October 4.\r\n\r\nMore Tour Stops<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"Wild<\/a>Craig has continued to add stops to the tour, including a bunch in the west in December: Chandler, Arizona (near Phoenix); Eugene and Medford, Oregon; along with Redwood, Thousand Oaks, Chico and Turlock, California. A few of those dates are simply listed on the tour website but have no venues, times or ticket links quite yet. We’ll add them to our list as soon as we hear more details. In the meantime, you can see all of the confirmed venues, dates, times and ticket links on our Live Comedy Tour<\/a> page.
