"I like the way you think"
~ Bob Kevoian of The Bob and Tom Show

Craig Allen’s comedy has been described as “bizarre, yet intelligent" and "he delights in turning the mundane into the insane" and “his twisted logic would make a Vulcan cry with laughter.”

Craig initially started out writing material for other comedians, such as Rick Rockwell from “Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?”. Jokes he’s written have appeared in Playboy, The London Times, The Washington Post, The New York Post, the tabloid Star, and on ABC 's "The View".

Craig has also done some writing for television, having written for the critically-acclaimed, Peabody Award nominated PBS television series "Mental Engineering”.
