Creator's Key Takeaways
Some things are great, some things were funking awful.
Emanuel was rocking. Really strong stuff. Great on stage and one of few comedians on the ship who had enough in the chamber to smash every show without recycling the same material.
What the funk these guys were doing on a Virgin Voyages comedy festival, I cannot even imagine.
Essa Manito is one of the best comedians around and definitely a strong contender for the best on board Scarlet Lady this year.
