JeRome returns my friend. A seasoned pro. We talk a lot of health in this pod. Diet, exercise, supplements... it takes a healthy balance to maintain yourself during the 200+ shows and 40+ weeks of travel you put your body through over a 30+ year career. We cover a lot of it here.

Last pod before the rtrip to Ireland. We'll take a hiatus as I record stuff to bring back.

I've been wanting to get Percy on here for a while. I've known Percy longer than any other comic on ships. A real pro and a great guy. Percty really knows how to work a room. Always has. Get your attention and keeps it. Easily one of the strongest comics on the high seas. One of Carnivals best. We got to do this one outside at #celebrationkey Carnival's private island. Great chat with one of the best.

The live feed did't stream last week... This posted late, so, a twofer.... to make up for the issues the last two weeks.

Magician Mark Bennick and comedian Jill Kimmel
Got to work with both of them on the Carnival Hawaii cruise. Great time hanging in Hawaii. I've known Mark for years. He been performing since he was kid. Lives in vegas and brings his several different magic shows all over the world. This was my fist time meeting and working with Jill. She's a Carnival favorite and I saw why instantly. Has a great show. Paints a picture, tells a story. More situation than jokey joke which is my favorite. It's easier to relate and connect.

The whole week was a blast. We had fun recording the pod too. Enjoy.

My first Virgin Voyages crusie was a blast. So much cool stuff available to the guests... really great experience, and I got to work with Nikki Carr.

Mad respect and a huge fondness in ,my heart for comics like Nikki. She's an old pro. Been there, done that. She's seen it all and done it all. She was one of the finalists on "Last Comic Standing" Always a pleasure to watch a 30 year pro work. She's funny and personal on stage... all the things that matter for me as a comic. It was those kind of comics that brought me into this business. You see yourself in them. Nikki is great at it. She makes it look easy, which it's not. It takes years of writing ajnd performing to really get to that point. A good comic makes it look easy. Nikki is one for sure.

First time working with and meeting Damon. We actually had quite a bit in common. We both worked with kids. However, he was a real teacher. An educator. My Improv class was more of a simple after school class.

This was a great pod. If you're a comic, you should check it out. We talk quite a bit about development and pushing your self to be better on stage at all times. Every show is an opportunity. Take something from every time you get on stage.

Damon was also one of the best I've ever seen at "throw away" lines. Simple tags after the initial joke and tag, sometimes in the middle of the set up as well. You don't see them coming. Great work.

Great pod.

Phil Hughes, ventriloquist extrodinare. I misspelled several of those words.

Phil was last on the show in 2020. Been a while indeed. Good friend asnd a great act. Got to watch him work on the big Hawaii crossing. Had dinner, talked, traveled home.... Phil is a great act. Been around for years and years... always playing with his dolls, reinventing and adding to his show. That sounds like a weird porn thing, but it's not.

I've known Sideshow Bert for around 6-7 years or so. Juggler / Performer / Comedian... he's one of those "Do it all" acts. A seasoned pro who covers all the bases. Juggles, chainsaws, tazers, watermelons, cheeseburgers, and grapes. Some times all at once. Lives in Vegas (Duh), travels the world... been around a while... you know. One of my favorite acts to have on the show. He's also a friend, Haven;t worked with him in years. That happens out here on the ships. Don'e see some people for several years. this (Hawaii crossing) crusie I saw several. Bert was one.

On 4TSS155 we have easily one of my favorite people in the entire world. Melissa McLaughlin is an amazing singer, solist, performer who I don't get to see enough. Her show is a beautiful thing to watch. A powerful, angelic voice combined with a brilliant song selection and an heartfelt connection with the audience brings an fantastic show to everyone. Audiences love her almost as much as I do. She's become a good friend. It's obvious as we talk about our personal lives. Melissa has an amazing effect on everyone she meets. She has on me. Listen to the Pod and you'll agree.
