johnasmith99 Posted February 29 #1 Share Posted February 29 My wife and I aren't prudes, but constant cussing just gets to us. They used to tone it way down for the early show. Wondering if that has changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 29 #2 Share Posted February 29 The one you book in advance is adults only. Only what's in the theater is supposed to be rated for kids. Though I saw a guy singing in the theater told sexual jokes at like 8 pm i didnt think were appropriate. Someone who used to br famous with a group when he was younger. Sang well, didnt appreciate his banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not toned down. Sometimes a comedian has late late show with really explicit material. If you are offended by cussing you should skip the comedy club. Headliner comedians in other venues should be toned down as they are not adults only but YMMV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmtx Posted February 29 #4 Share Posted February 29 Also - once you know which comedians are performing, it might be worthwhile to Google them, possibly check out Youtube or wherever, to get a feel for their level of vulgarity. You may have someone who is more vulgar, or less vulgar, on your sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two comedians at each comedy club show and the shows are for adults. OP should probably skip the comedy club if they are easily offended. The headliner shows might be tamer but there might be some jokes offensive some. Audiences expect jokes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headliner shows might be tamer but there might be some jokes offensive some. Audiences expect jokes..... That's why I recommended checking out the acts online ahead of time. If you start to hear something you find offensive, it's easy to shut it down right there rather than walking out of a club during the skit (although those usually produce very funny moments from the comedian). To see who is performing, about 1-2 weeks before the cruise, your cruise compass will start to populate. I knew the comedians on our last two Oasis cruises prior to sail date. And yeah, I agree, OP will probably need to sit that one out...but still wanted to share how we do our intel on talent prior to boarding. We don't do it to get a temperature for vulgarity, but rather to see if we know them from other cruises or on tv somewhere. Also for good clean comedy, check out Dry Bar Comedy online!

cruisegirl1 Posted February 29 #7 Share Posted February 29 (edited) No difference in early/late shows in comedy club. Either can be raunchy, and likely will be. If one is offended, it is best to stay away. Some have left a show, and the comedians rarely ignores that!

johnasmith99 Posted February 29 Author #8 Share Posted February 29 Based on the replies I think it best we avoid the Comedy Club. We cruise quite a bit, but it's been a long time since we tried it. As best I recall, I think last time we did leave. It's not a matter of being offended, it just sometimes reaches the point that challenges our personal moral values. I totally support the right of anyone to choose this for entertainment as long as it's not being crammed down my throat. (What could the comedian do with that comment? 🙂 ) See, I'm not a total prude. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. It is good to have info to make a choice that works for you. FYI - Most ships also have a more G rated comedy show one evening in the theater. Read the entertainment description because there is sometimes late night adult comedy! M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately RCI changed their policy and passengers are no longer forced to go to the comedy club during a cruise. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
