Each time, he’s in a new room with a new audience, some of whom have enjoyed his antics for years and others who may be seeing him for the first time. And each fan has their own reasons for appreciating what he does. Recently, one fan wrote about<\/a> seeing Craig and Mark Forward<\/strong> near Seattle and how he liked their approach to making people laugh. Earlier this month, a comedy venue in Minneapolis, the Acme Comedy Co., celebrated its 25-year anniversary. The club’s manager recalled some high points<\/a> of their history, including how one emcee got noticed by Craig, and got a chance to appear on television.\r\n\r\nStorytelling with Lynn<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"Lynn<\/a>Craig’s talented sister Lynn Ferguson<\/strong> is an outstanding writer and storyteller. Whether as a playwright, an actress, or standing alone on a stage, she has the ability to tell a compelling narrative. Recently, the website truthdig.com<\/a> profiled Lynn, where she talks about the differences between writing comedy for stand up and the art of storytelling.
