Craig Ferguson comes to the Silver Legacy March 22
Craig Ferguson, comedian, actor, writer and talk show personality who is the current host of the Emmy nominated <i>The Late Late Show</i> on CBS, will be headlining inside the Grande Exposition Hall at Silver Legacy Resort Casino on March 22 at 8 p.m.
Ferguson entered the world of late night comedy following a diverse and eclectic career that encompasses film, television and stage. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Ferguson got his start in the entertainment industry as a drummer for numerous punk bands in the U.K., a profession he held for several years. Following his musical stint, he began bartending in a local pub in Glasgow where he was introduced to Michael Boyd, the artistic director of The Tron Theatre in Glasgow, who persuaded Ferguson to give acting a go. After several low paying acting gigs, Ferguson discovered he had a knack for comedy and was soon the star of his own BBC television show, <i>The Ferguson Theory</i>.
After several stints on the English comedy circuit, Ferguson brought his act to America in 1995 to star with Betty White and Marie Osmond in the ABC comedy <i>Maybe This Time</i>. After the show ended, ABC decided to add the talented Scotsman to <i>The Drew Carey Show</i>, playing Drew Carey's boss, Nigel Wick, from 1996-2003.
Ferguson has written such feature films as <i>The Big Tease</i> and <i>Saving Grace</i>. In 2003, Ferguson made his directorial debut with <i>I'll Be There</i>, which he also wrote and starred in. <i>I'll Be There</i> went on to receive the Audience Award for Best Film at the Aspen, Dallas, and Valencia film festivals. Craig was also named Best New Director at the Napa Valley Film Festival.
Ferguson has written his first novel, <i>Between the Bridge and the River</i>, which was released in 2006. In the book, two childhood friends from Scotland and two illegitimate half-brothers from the deep South suffer and enjoy all manner of bizarre adventures which, it turns out, are somehow interconnected, and even more surprisingly, meaningful. The eclectic cast of characters features Socrates, Carl Jung and Tony Randall, while love, greed, hope, revenge, organized religion and Hollywood also make special appearances.
