Craig Shoemaker

Craig Shoemaker has spent more than four decades proving that laughter isn’t just entertainment—it’s a full‑blown wellness plan with better side effects than anything you’ll find in a pharmacy.

As a stand-up, he’s the mastermind behind the iconic Lovemaster and a Comedy Central special ranked in the Top 25 of all time. He’s snagged two Emmys, won “Best Male Stand-Up Comedian,” and popped up on every major network and streaming service like a comedic Where’s Waldo. With over 200 TV and film appearances—including Parks and Recreation, Matlock, and even Scream 2—he’s written for Fuller House, produced and starred in Wolf PAC, and created the cult classic Totally Baked.

Somehow, Craig also found time to reinvent himself as a wellness guru. He founded Laughter Worx, launched the immersive Laugh Bath™ (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like), and built MyLaffApp, where neuroscience meets giggles. Through his Command the Room masterclass, he’s coached thousands—from CEOs to people who just want to be the funniest one at Thanksgiving—on using humor to boost presence and connection.

His guiding belief is simple: humor is the shortest distance between two people, whether he’s on a Fortune 500 stage, a TED Talk, or a Hollywood set. And behind it all is a once-bullied kid from Philly who alchemized pain into punchlines and turned resilience into a career. Craig’s signature blend of heart, mischief, and perfectly timed sarcasm fuels everything he does.
