How
it all began:

Craig Mischief
was born in Port Elizabeth
and as far back as he can remember he took part in every variety show and
talent contest that came his way. At School he took music as a subject and
after leaving school, packed his bags and left for Johannesburg to fulfil his dream of becoming
a professional entertainer. Initially a three-piece comedy band called “WHITE
MISCHIEF” was formed, with Craig as the front man. After a very successful run
in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth, Craig decided about ten years ago that a
solo career as a stand-up comedian was the ultimate dream.

 

One of his
proudest moments, was being part of a fundraiser for 13 year old
heart-transplant patient Candice Krummek, who has since had a successful
operation and is enjoying life in London,
and has much to thank Craig for. His largest audience to date was at the Port
Elizabeth Splash Festival where Craig performed successfully before a baying
capacity crowd of 75 000 in 1997.

Mischief-Uncut”

“Craig
Mischief-Plugged In”

Mischief-Stop!!This is the forth”

Hey Craig,

Sorry man, had to dissapear straight after the show, but I finally saw the infamous (J) Craig Mischief in action...
I was sitting about 4 rows behind your wife...

Excellent job man, will most definitely catch another one of your shows! I'm
sure it was quite difficult doing a lot of that off the cuff, so you did an
excellent job, I know the crowd I was with (about 26 of us) rated you as one of
the better comedians of the evening ;)

Congrats again on a successful show!

Chat soon

Dear
Craig,

Thanks
for such a wonderful evening, you ROCKED as you had the audience in
stitches.
Everyone
commented that the highlight of the evening was your gig and i agree it was.
 I am a walking billboard for Craig Mischief as I believe that you were
excellent.  
Not
sure whether i am allowed to say this but I have attended a gig by a very
prominent PE based comedian and the only difference between you two is the
pricing.  We got excellent entertainment from you at a reasonable price.

Once
again, from all of us at the AIDC, you ROCKED our party.

Thanks
and regards

Hi
Craig,

Once
again, thanks so much for the entertainment on Saturday 15th November 2008, at
the Protea Marine Hotel.

 

Fun
was had by all.  This morning everyone could not stop talking about
your show.  

It
was so good at one stage, people walked out the room holding their stomachs and
laughing so much.Things like fantastic, out of this world, etc was used. 

 

I
would really recommend you to all my friends, work mates and family.

 

Once
again, thanks

 

enjoy
the rest of the day.

Hi Craig,

As
a registered non-profit organization, Business Against Crime (Eastern Cape) relies on the generosity of
the business community and individuals to sustain a
variety of crime-fighting projects.  We also try to raise as much
funding as possible by holding special events, such as a recent
"Bikers' Brunch" at the Port Alfred
Surf & Ski-boat Club (Sunday 31st August 2008), where Craig Mischief performed his usual
hilarious sketches and impersonations.  Despite the foul weather
(easily the worst wind and rain encountered this year), an intrepid group of ±
20 bikers attended the event.  We are grateful to Craig for having given us a concession-priced performance;
his side-splitting repertoire outweighed the glum weather, and we look
forward to a bigger, better biking fraternity function next time.
