Welcome!

Craig is delighted to have YOU be a part of his wonderful world of comedy. What began as a lark – doing impressions of co-workers and celebrities while working at a Philadelphia law firm – has grown into a passion, an enterprise and a way of life.

Craig was named Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards, has won two NATAS Emmy Awards, and Best Supporting Actor at the 2007 Elevate Film Festival. His “Lovemaster” routine was voted Most Popular, garnering him XM Radio’s Big Schtick Award, and was voted one of the Top 20 specials on Comedy Central. He had his own syndicated radio show which won the prestigious Communicator Award “Crystal” Prize. Recently, Craig wrote, produced and starred in the cult classic film “Totally Baked.”

Shoemaker Fun Facts:

  • Craig co-hosted the Magic Hour with Magic Johnson and was taken off the couch in the middle of the show on day three, making television history.
  • He toured with Ray Charles and Kenny Loggins. When Kenny was about to open the show at the Neil Simon Theater on Broadway, he was informed one of his singers was sick. Shoemaker did his stand-up and then came out on stage again to be one of Loggins’ backup singers!
  • At Comic Relief 2006 (The 20th Anniversary), Craig was honored to be asked to co-host (with Wayne Brady) the portion from New Orleans.
  • Craig along with two childhood friends, created and developed the concept of playing professionally recorded advertising messages to callers waiting "on-hold". The company recently merged with another company (Audio Messaging Solutions) forming one of the largest on-hold messaging companies in the US with over 30,000 locations.
  • Dedicated to spreading the word about the healing powers of laughter, Craig formed a non-profit LaughterHeals.org. Although the organization is currently on hiatus, he’s working on a new document.
