Surprised there was no thread for Craig.
MCd and performed a set and beautifully interwove his audience observations into his routine. Audience loved him for the energy, the confidence and their involvement that he imposed on the the room (or windswept, mildew ridden marquee).
A comedian that leaves you happy to have met and to have watched performed - excellent fun.

I'll second that, there are very few MC's as good as Craig. It's a wonder he's not bigger than he is.

A very good MC indeed! Never seen him do a set, but faultless as an MC.

I saw Craig last night at a gig in Poole and I have to say he has to be one of the best audience banter comedians I've seen in a long time, I think the best way to describe his show its like having Peter Kay, Michael Mcintyre and Roger Monkhouse all rolled into one. So if you are looking for a true, quality act then I suggest you book him before he starts charging what he is worth.

I'm sure Craig will love the Peter Kay reference Martin! Laughing

Love Craig - really fast-thinking and funny, one of the best MCs I've seen.

Is Craig the guy off the Yorkshire broadband adverts? Agree with the Peter Kay comments from seeing stuff in 2008.

Yes but the adverts do not do him justice, he is an extremely fast thinker when on stage.
