MIAMI, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise
Line, the world's most popular cruise line, will provide its guests
with more laughs than ever in 2017, hosting a record 25,000 shows
at its Punchliner Comedy Clubs featured across its 25-ship
fleet.
Boasting more comedians and performances than any land-based
comedy club in the U.S., Carnival's Punchliner Comedy Clubs feature
a hilarious lineup of top-notch comedians who perform 30-minute
shows multiple times each voyage with at least two comedians
performing each night. All shows are offered on a
complimentary basis.
Two early-evening PG-rated shows offer all-ages fun for the
whole family while later performances feature more R-rated,
adult-oriented comedy. Approximately 10 shows are presented during
short cruise itineraries and with roughly 20 shows per cruise on
longer length voyages.
"Our guests love to laugh and have fun and the Punchliner Comedy
Club is by far one of the most popular venues on board with both
established and up-and-coming comedians who keep audiences laughing
and entertained," said Sarah Reno,
Carnival's vice president of entertainment. "Plus, many
guests have never been to a comedy club so this is a wonderful way
for them to try something different and check out an entirely new
form of entertainment," she added.
Added Chris Nelson, Carnival's
senior director of entertainment, "We search the world for the top
comedians and fly them onto each cruise for limited
engagements. Not only is Carnival one of the largest
presenters of comedy in the world, we are the only cruise line to
provide an authentic comedy club experience on every single
voyage."
Carnival's position as the leader in comedy has also extended to
its popular Carnival LIVE concert series which has added top-name
comedians to its diverse entertainment lineup. Recent comedy
performances include Jay Leno,
Jim Gaffigan, Chris Tucker and Kathy
Griffin. Jeff Foxworthy will
also be performing two shows next month aboard Carnival Freedom and
Carnival Ecstasy while those ships are docked in Nassau.
