The former talk show host gave Turning Stone patrons plenty to laugh about with a fast-paced barrage of hilarity.
As he took the stage at the Turning Stone Event Center on Wednesday evening, Craig Ferguson promised each member of the audience would leave his standup set offended by something he said over the next 80 or so minutes.
But if any part of his routine upset me, I was too busy laughing hysterically to even notice.

Several campus humor groups, including Zamboni Revolution, has helped shape the new culture of the female comedienne.
Jenna Race walks quickly down a short flight of steps and heads straight toward the right side of the wooden floor raised just a few inches off the ground.

The comedic has-been offended his Fulton bowling alley audience more than he entertained it.
Lakeview Lanes is like any other bowling alley in Central New York. It’s a large facility with more than 20 lanes hosting men’s, women’s and mixed leagues.

Review: Bo Burnham's humor is lightning-quick, literate, and at times absurdist — more along the lines of Martins, both Steve and Demetri.

Syracuse University senior Matt Harris knows his roots as a stand-up comedian.
“I’m a big fan of George Carlin,” Harris said. “I wish I could write like him, and I try, but nobody writes like Carlin.”
Harris is a leader of the Woo-Hoo Comedy Club at SU, and he’s been performing stand-up comedy since his sophomore year. He said he got into stand up after a girl told him he was funny at a party.
“I was pretty bombed, and she was like, ‘You should try stand-up,'” Harris said. “I thought, ‘Hey, why not?’”
