Who ever is doing booking at SMG venues in town has really stepped up their game.

Who ever is doing booking at SMG venues in town has really stepped up their game. With John Cleese and Eric Idle, Bo Burnham, and Azealia Banks and K. Michelle, the addition of Scottish comedian and former late-late-night talk host Craig Ferguson is icing on an already awesome cake.

Ferguson got his start in the US when he was a regular on the Drew Cary show in the 90’s, but he’s since grown his career in both the UK and the US as an establish comedian and (until last December) a 10-year-host of CBS’s Late-Late Show.

Check out some of his bits below:

Ferguson will be gracing the Altria Theatre stage when he comes to town Saturday, October 17th, 2015 at Altria Theater at 7:30 pm.
