Don’t Look Down is a whirlwind hour of reflections and ruminations, structured and punctuated by some slick audience interaction **** The Herald

Having smashed the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and hot from shredding 30 stages in 30 sold-out venues (and just as many slopes) at the world’s most successful sport/comedy fusion, the Snowed In Comedy Tour, CRAIG CAMPBELL is raring to melt audience’s hearts in his home away from the snowy mountains, Great Britain, with his inspiring new show Don’t Look Down. Playing at theatres nationwide, CRAIG will embark on a 38-date tour on the 5^th March, ending with a night at London’s Leicester Square Theatre on 18^th June.

Currently acting as support on FRANKIE BOYLE’s national tour for the third time, CRAIG is a formidable stand-up and one of the most charismatic and inventive performers around. He has performed on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC One), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three) and was responsible for easing the contractions of an expectant mother who laughed so hard at his performance on Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave) – which detailed an encounter with a badger – that her waters broke. Most recently CRAIG was a hit on ALAN DAVIES’ As Yet Untitled (Dave). Born in Canada, CRAIG has been a headline guest on numerous Canadian TV shows including Jim Carrey Live, The Dennis Miller Show and Just for Laughs and hosted the legendary Ed’s Night Party. In 2013, CRAIG recorded a digital-only release of his Channel 4 DVD Craig Campbell Live at the prestigious London Bloomsbury Theatre.

In addition to this third solo stand-up tour, CRAIG regularly performs all over the world from New Zealand to Iceland including such exotic locations as Kazakhstan and Vietnam (proudly Vietnam’s first ever stand-up). He is a firm fringe favourite having made his Edinburgh debut alongside TONY LAW and DAN ANTOPOLSKI as part of comedy trio The Dinks which achieved great critical and box office success, leading to an invitation to perform in the Best Of Edinburgh programme in New York.  He has supported RICH HALL on his international tour and has had three successful solo shows in Edinburgh.  In 2012, and after a 15 year break, CRAIG and his fellow Canadian comedians STEWART FRANCIS and GLENN WOOL took the Edinburgh Fringe by storm with the reprisal of their critically acclaimed show, Return of the Lumberjacks.
