John Craig

ABOUT JOHN

Bitten by a radioactive Phil Collins at a young age, John Craig (they/them, he/him) has split their time between filling out online forms, listening to ska, & stage managing a variety of shows ever since. Having gotten their start in stage management in sketch and improv, John brings a “yes, and” attitude to the various festivals and shows they stage manage and produce. Having worked on and produced festivals such as the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival, the Chicago Women’s Funny Festival, the Chicago Improv Festival, the Elgin Fringe Fest, and the Chicago Nerd Comedy Festival, John is accustomed to handling multiple shows simultaneously. A friend once remarked that “every conversation you have with John will be the nerdiest conversation you have all day.”
