Artist History As a student at the University of Georgia, Craig began his comedy career by performing at many of the Student Union events. Before long he was paying his college tuition (bar tabs) by working at the local Atlanta and Athens area clubs. Since then Craig has gone on to perform across the United States, as well as Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean.Craig currently resides in Miami, FL. He performs on cruise lines, nightclubs, and college campuses across the country. He was nominated for Comedian of the Year 1999 and Entertainer of the Year 2000 by the Campus Activities Magazine's Readers Poll and the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities. He just won the prestigious award "Comedian of the Year 2000" from the readers of Campus Activities Magazine.

Press Reviews He's the "Comedian of the Year " in the college market, and his award winning "Show of the Year" is the hottest ticket in your town. He's being called the best singer-comedian-impressionist-actor in the business today, by entertainment critics and his peers. Audiences go wild over him. Who is he? He's Craig Carmean.Craig has really got it going on, turning in bravura shows that extend the creative reach of an entertainment genre that has too long suffered from minimally talented music comics who figure a couple of recognizable voices are enough to hang a show on.When he steps onstage in his all-black clothes the theme to "Mission: Impossible" plays as precursor to the daunting task ahead. Craig wants to entertain everyone, not just the traditional showgoer, which explains an arsenal of material ranging from television for pop culture fans, dorm room life for students, and Gangsta Rap sung by Garth Brooks for the hip-hop set.That ambitious scope could break down in confusion in lesser hands, but Craig is willing to press even further. He transforms himself into Kermit the Frog for a duet of "Rainbow Connection", which when contrasted against the witty musical parodies and his nonstop energy, makes for a remarkably well-rounded and theatrical show that can't help but draw standing ovations.Early on, Craig goes for lighter goofs on The Brady Bunch ("What if the Brady Bunch Were Rednecks"), a tribute to Lucky Charms Cereal (a parody of Third Eye Blind) and Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" as a parody on nicknames for silly things.Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Creed, Matchbox 20, Dave Matthews and Limp Biskit sendups crept into his overview of modern music -- and a quavery-sounding Eddie Veder (Pearl Jam) cleared the way for brief and effective sendups of prominent politicos.In short ...Craig Carmean is America's most talented and versatile musician and comedian. His charm, wit, and ultra-rehearsed show generate awe in every audience he entertains. A very polished and dynamic show. Perfect for the college market.
