He is hilarious! One of the best comedians I've seen. I laughed to tears. I highly recommend him.
Very good. I liked almost all of his act; he took the "Love Master" routine too far, so it got "old". Otherwise, very creative, not too crude, and could really relate to his material.
Craig Shoemaker is great....soooo funny. I would, however, have appreciated him wearing clean clothes to our night out. He was in shabby jeans and a ruppled old t-shirt that a gent shaped like him should avoid.
He was better then ever! Went two hours and kept us in stitches the whole time. Would see him again, but would never eat at the Canyon Club! Way to EXPENSIVE! Service was great ,really crowed everyone in there, I would hate to see a fire happen in that place. Craig was stupendous!
2 1/2 hours of pure comedy! Left with our faces hurting from laughing! Don't take the kids!!!! Would not go for dinner again - not worth the price - overpriced for adequate meal. Too much tine between when you have to be there (6:00) and when the show starts (9:00). Next time I will go at 8 and just have a drink at the bar.
One of the funniest comidians I have ever seen.
Craig Shoemaker is AWESOME!! Loved the show (both times that I saw him). Not so crazy about The Canyon. All of us, from different parties, who we were seated with, were told the event started around 8pm--so the doors open at 6. The show started at 9:30 until 11:30, and dinner was pricey, service was poor, and liquoring us up for 3 hours before the show was a little insulting. I won't go back to The Canyon. I'll see Craig Shoemaker and others elsewhere.
Come down on Thursday nights and enjoy some of the best 80s dance music and fun with the Spazmatics. DJ & Dancing every Fri & Sat after the concert.
