All qualities of a great comedian.

 

A great comedian is timing. wit. even the expressions on their face. body language. Richard Pryor used blue language that would make a sailor blush, and he was funny. He was also non political. His barbs went everywhere.

 

Eddie Murphy, when young, On SNL impossible to watch without howling.

Kathy G. is a one woman insult machine, mostly against people she deems "conservative".

Saying shocking things does not make you funny.

 

JOAN RIVERS.............in my opinion, the funniest woman who ever lived, worked with her and had little pleasant to say about her.

 

But if she makes a fortune from the mainstream Americans she mocks and insults...............that is the way of the world.

I wouldn't pay that much to see her, but I don't understand the hate. She's a comedian, it's her job to offend people. You can't take anything she says seriously.

 

I like that they are trying this out and I hope it does well so they can continue to have comedians as part of Carnival Live. That way they might eventually bring on more of a variety and I'll find someone I am willing to pay $50 to see.

I would like to see more comics. I would pay for Jim Gaffigan or Gabriel Ingleses.

 

Me too. Love these guys. I'm ashamed to admit I only watch Kathy Griffin when I channel surf and her specials are on. She's like porn, you never want to admit you watch it. I sure wouldn't go on a cruise just for her. :D

The amount of Kathy hate is funny (funnier than her actually!)! I completely get why she's hated so much, she's just not funny/relevant any longer.

 

Now those that find her rude would faint over Lisa Lampanelli!

 

If she was on a sailing I was on, I'd go so her as I typically check out all the "talent", but I wouldn't sail just to see her.

I have NO desire to see her. I'm not a prude, but I disagree with her in so many ways. I would avoid any ship she is on. C'mon Carnival, you can do better than that.

 

I agree 100% !! If I were already booked on a cruise and they said she would be on it, I would be cancelling so fast!!!

Why? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm honestly curious. She will only be on the ship for a couple hours while her show is going on, so I don't see why you would cancel a vacation you probably spent a lot of time planning just because someone you don't like will be on the same ship with you for a little while.

I'm not the one who posted this and I'm not trying to answer for them, but if you were to ask me that question, since I have the same sentiment...it would be because sometimes somebody is just so despicable that making a statement is by cancelling your cruise is something that you feel is the right thing to do. I'm actually surprised that Carnival isn't more aware of their audience and would book somebody who is sooooo polarizing.

I agree. If I were booked on a cruise and realized she was performing, I would cancel. Carnival can do better than that.

I believe we should have a list of entertainers who will perform. My granddaughter loves Marcus Anthony. She was born with a cranial facial disorder and has had many surgeries in her short life. Every time he has entertained on the ship we were sailing on, he has been so nice to her. I would book just for her to see him.
