THIS COMEDY LIFE w/ Dean Gaines & Lowell Sanders (Jokes on the Water)

Описание: THIS COMEDY LIFE w/ Dean Gaines & Lowell Sanders (Jokes on the Water) 🚢🎤
Hosted by Brad Sanders | Guest Host: Yogi Marquis

Cruise ships are the new comedy club circuit — and two “kings of the seas” pull back the curtain on what it REALLY takes to crush on the water.

In this episode, veteran comedians *Dean Gaines* and *Lowell Sanders* break down:
✅ why cruise ships became the largest chain of working comedy venues
✅ the “no margin for error” pressure of performing for the same guests all week
✅ how many unique sets you actually need to survive
✅ Detroit/Comedy Castle origins, the comedy boom era, and legendary rooms
✅ the microcosm-of-America crowd (and how demographics shape the show)
✅ why writing + reinvention is the only way to stay relevant

If you’re a comic, a comedy fan, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes life of professional entertainers — this one is packed with gems.
