Craig Shoemaker

Craig Shoemaker is a celebrated Stand-Up Comedian, Personal Development Coach, Author, Keynote Speaker, and Podcast Host with a career spanning over thirty years. He has conquered a childhood kidnapping, abandonment, addiction, and a fractured family life. Laughter saved Shoemaker’s life and it became his superpower. He is the visionary behind "Winning With Laughter", a self-development system that integrates unique tools such as the eight L.A.U.G.H.T.E.R principles, Laughitations, and Chuckle Chatters. Additionally, Shoemaker is a partner in the Wellness Recharge Centers. These centers harmonize body, mind, spirit, and science to optimize well-being, harnessing bio-active energy fields like scalar waves and morphogenic energy to interact with the body’s DNA for overall health. In 2016, Shoemaker established the Laughter Heals Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to raising awareness of laughter’s profound healing effects on physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, as well as on the health of our relationships.

Shoemaker has performed for four US Presidents, has specials on Netflix and Showtime, awarded two Emmys, and received the ACA "Comedian of The Year". He is also a Film/TV Producer with his show “WolfPac” now available on Amazon Prime and author of the “Lovemaster’d: A Digital Journey to Ultimate Love and Happiness.” From Philly roots to SoCal transplant, Craig finds himself continuously "Stuck Between Namaste and Kiss My Ass!" Having turned his traumatic upbringing into a successful, happy life, Craig is dedicated to spreading positivity, helping others reach their full potential, and of course, making people laugh until their faces hurt.
