That news release was dutifully reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwayworld.com\/bwwtv\/article\/Craig-Ferguson-Announces-HOBO-FABULOUS-Tour-Dates-20180618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BroadwayWorld.com<\/a>, and echoed in newspapers in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courierpress.com\/story\/news\/local\/2018\/06\/18\/comedian-former-late-night-host-craig-ferguson-coming-evansville\/709999002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indiana<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynews.com\/2019\/03\/28\/craig-ferguson-will-perform-stand-up-in-la-for-the-first-time-in-april\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily News in Los Angeles<\/a>, and the Register-Guard in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.registerguard.com\/entertainmentlife\/20180915\/craig-ferguson-is-exclusively-hobo-fabulous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oregon<\/a>, which he pointedly told, &#8220;I also think there are too many stand-up specials,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;It&#8217;s not special if everybody does it. It&#8217;s not special if it&#8217;s done too often. I want each show to be unique and special. Special in the sense that is has no agenda other than to exist in the moment that it does. One and done.&#8221;\r\n\r\nNot so fast.\r\n\r\nAs <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2019\/04\/craig-ferguson-comedy-dynamics-hobo-fabulous-limited-series-green-mountain-west-1202598642\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a> reported today, some of the tour was indeed recorded and will be available on all kinds of streaming platforms soon. But instead of being a typical hour-long stand up special, it will be in a documentary form, split into six half-hour episodes, titled simply <em>Hobo Fabulous<\/em>. The article says it&#8217;s being called a &#8220;new kind of stand-up special;&#8221; a mixture of a stand up show and a behind-the-scenes rock tour documentary.\r\n\r\nThe series will be distributed by Comedy Dynamics, the company that helped produce Craig&#8217;s previous special <em>I&#8217;m Here To Help<\/em> and his History Channel show <em>Join Or Die<\/em>, and distributes shows for a <a href=\"https:\/\/comedydynamics.com\/category\/distribution\/special\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wide variety<\/a> of comedians. The channel will be available on iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Comcast, Spectrum, Dish and other platforms.\r\n\r\nWe&#8217;re excited about the series because although Craig has toured extensively in North America, he has many fans in the U.S. and around the world who aren&#8217;t able to easily travel to see him in person. Now, they&#8217;ll have a chance to get a taste of what the tour was like. The series is directed by Craig&#8217;s radio sidekick and erstwhile front end of <strong>Secretariat<\/strong> the pantomime horse, <strong>Malibu Joe Bolter<\/strong>, and produced by Czech vampire and tour road manager <strong>Tomas Zakopal<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nSo far, a release date for the series has not been announced but we&#8217;ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWant more news about Craig Ferguson?
