vmom Posted November 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2010 We just got an email from Princess giving highlights about the entertainers for our cruise on the Crown. Al Katz is listed as the comedian and Wayne Hoffman is the mentalist. Anyone see either of their shows? Feedback? The music productions are Motor City and Destination Anywhere.

Rare Musky Ike Posted November 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Was not impressed. He asks questions of audience members then ridicules them and wonders why nobody will answer his questions...duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something good will be playing on MUTS. there's always so many choices to make per evening that I'll just choose something else for the evening.

Cruise Amuse Posted November 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We saw Al Katz on the Crown several years ago and really enjoyed his act. I also don't recall him ridiculing anyone and he got lots of laughs. I've seen Motor City and Destination Anywhere and liked both of those shows too (but after seeing them several times on various ships, I won't be seeing them again).

I've since read some other very positive reviews about Al, so as in all things, I guess comedy is to some degree a matter of taste. Think we'll pop into the show after all.

stepover Posted November 28, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2010 You definately have Al Katz mixed up with someone else. He doesn't ask any questions and if he did, he WOULD have the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepover Posted November 28, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 28, 2010 You have him confused with another comedian. Please get the facts right before you trash a qualified comedian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewats784 Posted November 28, 2010 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2010 We saw him on our Princess cruise and really enjoyed him. We met up with him at the Island Party on Deck later in the week and he was a really nice guy. Enjoyed him a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted November 28, 2010 #12 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think Al Katz was on my Coral cruise last year and, although I didn't see him, my tablemates did and thought he was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted November 28, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 28, 2010 A qualified comedian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickie_bernie Posted November 28, 2010 #14 Share Posted November 28, 2010 we've seen Al twice and don't recal him ridiculing anyone, he was very very funny. One night at dinner we were sat at a large table and he joined the table for dinner, I didn't recognize him as I hadn't seen his show yet and thought, man this guy is funny then he said "i hope so, I am the commedian tonight" enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momK Posted November 28, 2010 #15 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Is it clean humor? The "step over the line" has me wondering. Edited November 28, 2010 by momK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raamo Posted November 29, 2010 #18 Share Posted November 29, 2010 We saw him on the Coral in Jan, I bought his CD. He's got a pretty standard routine with minor variations on current events. It's not overly crass, if it was I wouldn't have bough the CD... I'd say for a cruise he was pretty good. But I'm not expert on comics :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta3 Posted November 29, 2010 #19 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I am looking forward to seeing Al Katz. I feel I may have seen him on a prior cruise somewhere but can't place it. I have heard he is very funny. I love a good comedian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayCalif-Ariz R Us Posted November 29, 2010 #20 Share Posted November 29, 2010 we've seen Al twice and don't recal him ridiculing anyone, he was very very funny. One night at dinner we were sat at a large table and he joined the table for dinner, I didn't recognize him as I hadn't seen his show yet and thought, man this guy is funny then he said "i hope so, I am the commedian tonight" enjoy We saw him last year, can't remember the ship. He joined our table at dinner and I was lucky to sit next to him. In fact, I was so charmed I bought him an after dinner drink that included the glass. He was kind of blown away by a passenger doing that. What a shame. When performers are good - and he is - it's nice to let them know in some tangible way if you can. We tend to not listen to CDs so don't buy them. I was glad to buy the guy a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwsaionz Posted December 21, 2010 #21 Share Posted December 21, 2010 just saw al katz on the crown princess dec11-18 2010. He performed for three nights of the cruise and each night he worked the show was different and very entertaining. I also had a chance to meet him several times at the speakeasy lounge (cigar bar) and he's a pretty down to earth guy who was great to be around. I highly recccomend seeing him.

jkeller527 Posted December 21, 2010 #22 Share Posted December 21, 2010 We just got off the crown as well. Ended up going to 3 of his shows and it was standing room only. His act was different and quick. I would be happy to see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
