    Send us a textMarc Yaffee, a seasoned comedian known for his clean and engaging humor, has transitioned from open mic nights to headlining stand-up comedy shows on cruise ships, such as his current seven-week contract with Holland America. He views performing on cruise ships as a unique opportunity to interact with audiences over an extended period, allowing him to build a dedicated fan base among passengers. Unlike traditional comedy clubs, cruise ship audiences tend to be older and less prone to heckling, enabling Yaffee to focus on delivering his rapid-paced humor without interruptions. While he occasionally adjusts his material to suit the international and diverse demographic aboard, Yaffee's commitment to consistent, family-friendly comedy remains steadfast, as demonstrated by his involvement in the Clean Comedy Kings tour with fellow comedian Jimmy Delavalle.(00:04:26) Cruise Ship Comedy Tailored for PG-13(00:06:36) Building a Fan Base at Sea(00:08:03) "Tailoring Comedy for Cruise Ship Audiences"(00:11:30) Cruise Ship Comedy: Connecting with Audiences(00:20:15) Family-Friendly Clean Comedy Tour Launching Soon(00:21:46) "COVID Comedy: State Responses & Flight Fiascos"Support the show www.StandupComedyPodcastNetwork.com Website....check it out, podcast, jokes, blogs, and More!"NEW" Video Podcast: Tag Team Talent Podcast on Spotify & YouTube Podcast Quality List: https://www.millionpodcasts.com/heritage-podcasts/ Please Write a Review: in-depth walk-through for leaving a review.Interested in Standup Comedy?
