The Darkness Distillery

At Thirty-six years of age, life has not followed the blue print that Craig Fridey had designed for himself. Ten years ago he was a married, a white collar employee, with a clean bill of health. But every silver lining has a cloud... and some clouds like to rain.

Constantly faced with the opportunity to dwell in the sadness, Craig chooses to find the funny in the most dire of situations. If you've ever had to apply for life insurance and found yourself justifying some of your lifestyle choices to a complete stranger with the intent to keep premiums low, this show may be for you.

Although life is riddled with loss, sadness, misfortune Craig chooses to see the opportunity to make comedy out of some of pretty dark life events.

Sometimes the best way to reach the purest sunshine, is to drive through the rain and laugh maniacally.

If you find the best way to cope with the worlds darkness to try and make light... this show will have you in stitches. If you are easily upset.. this show will probably not be for you.
