Craig
Allen delights in "turning the mundane into
the insane. It’s been said that “his
twisted logic would make a Vulcan cry with laughter”.
A highly-respected comedic writer, Craig has quickly
become a staple of morning radio shows. Craig
can be heard regularly on XM Satellite Radio.
He recently made his live national radio debut
on “The Bob and Tom
Show” (heard by several million people daily).
Originally slated for a short 15-minute segment,
Bob and Tom liked Craig so much that they kept
him on for nearly two hours!
Craig’s television work includes writing
for the critically-acclaimed, Peabody Award-nominated
PBS television series “Mental Engineering”.
He was also a featured performer on NBC’s
“Night Shift with Kevin
Ferguson”.
Material that Craig has written has appeared in
Playboy, The London Times, The Washington
Post, The New York Post, the tabloid Star,
and on ABC's "The View".
People appreciate that Craig does his homework
before an event. When possible, he tailors some
material specifically to the company or industry,
making audiences feel that he truly knows them.
His writing skills
have also made him a highly sought after roastmaster,
skewering individuals and celebrities at retirement
parties, 50th birthday celebrations, awards banquets
and
other milestone events.
From small Mom & Pop businesses to Fortune
500 companies, audiences everywhere enjoy Craig’s
standout standup!
