Part stand-up, part PowerPoint melt-down.

"Literally The Joke" showcases the reactions of strangers on the internet when a comedian tries out new gags online. The show takes a trip through the diverse and unexpected range of responses from those who explain the jokes back, to those who don't realise they are jokes, to the downright weird. Expect one-liners, self-deprecation, and a bit of camp thrown in for good measure.

Craig has been performing stand-up all over the UK (and beyond) since 2004. He supported Paul Sinha (The Chase, ITV) on his stand-up tour 2019-2020, and in 2022 he was a semi-finalist in the UK Stand-up Comedian of the Year competition.
