Comedian, actor, writer, producer Craig Shoemaker joins host Rich Stein

Craig Shoemaker says you can’t hit a moving Target and he proves that every day. He started comedy as a junior in high school and put himself through college doing stand up.  Craig Shoemaker may not have hit the ultra fame of Seinfeld, Tim Allen or some but he has gone far beyond the limits of many comedians. He tore through the early years doing every show that comedians did like Evening At the Improv, Caroline’s, Comedy Central, and as his career flourished he did two Comic Reliefs and through Whoopi he did 75 Hollywood Squares, tons of sit coms: Night Court, Coach, The Fresh Prince, Parks and Rec and many more.    

He went on to write and produce his own comedy specials, television series, Films and he was named  Comedian of the Year at the American Comedy Awards. While many might be resting on their laurels after all that he has been mentoring younger comics in sobriety and  inviting them into his circle by letting them tour and open for him and see what life is like in the higher levels of the comedy world.

Craig has authored two books and through his Laughter Heals Foundation and Laughter Worx  he has been bringing the power  of laughter to the business and corporate world and raising the bar from stand up and trying to help people really experience the healing powers of laughter.

Craig was getting pulled by his business partner so this is a somewhat abbreviated podcast today but all things Craig Shoemaker are easy to find online. He is still a busy touring comedian, as since recording  this podcast he just returned from Headlining at the Tempe, Arizona Improv and knowing him he is probably already off sharing the love and the laughs with another lucky group of humans somewhere in the world.

I hope you enjoy ( as much as I did hahaha) the dynamic comedy of Craig Showmaker!
