Meet Craig Antonio

Craig Antonio is a stand-up comedian based in Central Illinois, bringing audiences a mix of Midwest stories, military experiences, and the kind of everyday observations that somehow become unforgettable.

Before stepping on stage, Craig served as a U.S. Air Force firefighter/EMT, responding to emergencies around the world and spent 10 years of that time living overseas. Today, he channels those experiences and many questionable decisions from life back home, into comedy that's honest, relatable, and just the right amount of unfiltered.

Whether he's talking about growing up in Central Illinois, life after the military, relationships, or sobriety and struggles, Craig's comedy comes from real experiences that audiences recognize and laugh about together.

When he's not performing, you'll usually find him writing new material, exploring/working outdoors, or planning his next show somewhere in the Midwest.

Thanks for stopping by and if you're not already following along, there's plenty more comedy coming.
