Born and raised in Philadelphia, Craig has always had an all encompassing desire to be famous. Craig parlayed years of television watching into a prize winning effort on MTV's Remote Control in 1990. Craig performed stand-up at the Comedy Works and, as a member of DQD Comedy Theater, appeared Tuesday nights on Drexel University Television. In 1996, Craig played a blue eyed farmboy in the Plays & Players production of It's Only a Play. Recently, Craig finished shooting scenes with Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover in the upcoming film, Beloved.

Craig's initial improv experience came in 1994 with the short lived Test Pylots improv/sketch comedy group. While in Test Pylots, Craig met Avish Parashar and formed a friendship that eventually led him to become a founding member of Polywumpus.
