“It’s more interesting when comics talk about their
lives, I think,” says comedian Nate Craig. “I love hearing stories, so I
try to tell them.” While the Wisconsin native, now based in L.A., has
performed several times at Go Bananas, this will be his first time
headlining. “The crowds are always great there. They’re true comedy
fans.” Craig started doing stand-up while still in college in his home
state before moving to Chicago.
“I stayed in the womb too long,” he
says, “but I moved down there and then eventually to Los Angeles.” His
career is certainly moving in the right direction, but he’s still living
life on a budget, as they say. “I’m fine with the recession,” he says,
“because I realize that being broke is recession-proof. I don’t have to
worry about the stock market. Early last year the Dow Jones lost 1,000
points in one day. I don’t care. I ate pudding. You can’t touch my
money, it’s not there.” $8-$14. Through Sunday. Go Bananas, Montgomery.
