Lovely fella is our Craig, his stand up show is a staple of the Edinburgh Fringe, it simply wouldn't be the same without him. He creates this wonderful gay space where straights feel safe to laugh along a he pokes fun at all the usual stereotypes. Indeed, much of his scripted material is fairly obvious, as we tour with him to the USA and Greece. Yes some Americans aren't very bright, and yes, Greek men are good looking. His routine around having a boyfriend called Jesus, amused, but was milked for much more than it was worth - Jesus wept, Christ on a bike etc etc. Craig is at his best when he is ad-libbing, playing and toying with his audience. He's engaging, smiling, caustic, charming and a right bitch all at once. Very few  people can do the comic put down as deftly as he does. But his prepared material wasn't up to the very high standard of which we know he is capable. His quick wit and energy carried the show and he just about got away with it.
