Lynch, who began writing humorous songs as a teenager after watching the mock documentary “This is Spinal Tap,” found popularity performing in New York City comedy clubs and on radio programs like “Opie and Anthony.” He has since become a regular on the college circuit and a popular draw in nightclubs nationwide.

In 2000, Lynch starred in a “Comedy Central Presents” special and released his first CD, “A Little Bit Special.” Two years later, he released “Superhero,” a collection of live recordings from various venues in and around New York City. Subsequent CDs include “The Craig Machine” and “Live at The El Rey,” which sold more that 50,000 copies.

Lynch has also appeared at Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, as part of Comedy Central’s World Comedy Tour and on NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly.
