Dry Bar Comedy Spotlight: Craig Shoemaker’s "Recovering Caucasian"

Craig Shoemaker hits the stage with a set that proves hilarious storytelling only gets better with time. In Recovering Caucasian, Craig unravels the quirks of growing up surrounded by girls, being a feminist in rough-and-tumble Philadelphia, and rocking a minivan so harmless he can get away with anything on the road.

He takes audiences on a nostalgic ride through childhood memories, from toy-filled cereal boxes to sugar overload, Pez dispensers, and the days when you actually had to memorize phone numbers. And he doesn’t stop there—Craig gets the audience to relive their childhood Army games, complete with machine gun noises, while roasting them without mercy.

Honest, Clever, and Classic Craig

With a style that’s sharp, approachable, and effortlessly funny, Craig blends relatable bits with offbeat observations, creating a set that feels like catching up with an old friend. Whether he’s poking fun at himself or pulling the audience into the fun, Recovering Caucasian is a reminder that comedy is best when it’s personal—and a little bit fearless.
